Evony recently released a new General called Laudon for players to acquire by partaking in the Historic General Summoning event.
As the lady or lord of a kingdom in Evony: The King’s Return, you have to grow your empire by training troops, harvesting resources, vanquishing enemies, attacking other players and completing quests.
To aid you in these tasks, you can recruit various Generals, one of which is Laudon.
General roles
Although there are more than 30 Generals to recruit, each General has a specific role to fulfill when they join your collection. For instance, a General who specializes in ranged PvP battles may not perform well in a siege PvE battle.
It is therefore crucial that you know and understand your General’s roles before assigning them to specific activities and battles. We recommend that you acquire Generals for every type of battle, including PvP and PvE.
Furthermore, you have to get Wall Defense, Monster Hunter, Monster Looter, Gathering, Subordinate City and Duty Generals.
Evony: Laudon General
There are numerous Generals that players can procure from different regions in Evony, one of which is Laudon. He was an Austrian field marshal, renowned for his numerous achievements during the Silesian Wars.
To add this General to your arsenal, you have to visit the Tavern regularly, as he may be available for recruitment.
However, there is a possibility that you may have to wait some time before he becomes available for recruitment. When he is available, you can purchase him for approximately 60 000 000 Gold.
However, players can also participate in the Historic General Summoning event to recruit Laudon. You can use Epic Historic General (Glory) to summon an Epic Historic General. The summoned General will be directly added to your General collection.
During this event, if you do not get the latest released General, Laudon, after summoning 5 times, you are guaranteed to get him within the next summoning.
The chance of summoning Laudon is increased by 600 percent during the Historic General Summoning event.
While the event is active, 5 package tiers will be available for purchase, including massive resources and rare items.
If you purchase a package, you will receive Historic General Summoning Glory, and there will also be a chance that you will get General Laudon from the 5th tier package.
Keep in mind however that these packages can only be purchased with real money. This essentially means that only players who are willing to spend real money can get Historic General Glory and therefore, participate in the Historic General Summoning Event.
