Evony: Otto the Great

Although you can use Otto the Great for any activity in Evony, some of his specialities only activates when he is the Trap Factory’s Duty Officer.

As you progress in Evony: The King’s Return, you will procure a variety of Generals with unique roles to fulfill in the game.

One of the Generals you can collect is Otto the Great, who was the East Francian King and the Holy Roman Emperor. Otto was considered one of the most powerful emperors in Europe at that time.

To add this General to your collection, you have to visit the Tavern on a regular basis to see if he is available for recruitment. When he is available, you will have to use 60 000 000 gold to purchase him.

Alternatively, you can purchase premium packages with real money to collect Otto the Great. Once you have him, you will be able to increase his statistics by increasing his level.

You can also cultivate and enhance Otto the Great to increase his statistics and his star-level.

Every time you increase his level, his statistics will increase with the amount equal to his growth rate. The table below lists Otto’s base statistics and his growth rate:

Statistic	Base rate	Growth rate
Leadership	119	8.77%
Defense	119	9.04%
Attack	110	8.64%
Politics	112	8.77%
