Evony Siege Generals: John Hunyadi, Pallas, Raimondo, or Edward Teach? And also the free Generals.

[@Bryainiac]

I just got him this morning and he's great. I run my siege and archers with the same books, range, ATk, and hp. I run this new guy with def for range, siege, and March size. Works for both generals and perfectly with these books.

[@aroncoleman2301]

Grant for f2p under condition its for t11 siege bomb. The attack power comes from flat refines and the total number of troops in the rally. T11 siege bomb is not used to win every hit. They used to kill off the layers of a big city. RSP video best shows this. If your not a big spender but in a big spender alliance. Sending t11 ground, siege, range or mounted to join a rally for that troop type will help. Its better to send a t11 with flat refines than a weak percentage based march. Its gem expensive to build, but more impact than chasing percentage behind paywall. This is for big teams that have space to allow smaller players get a spot on the team.

[@Maath_Faseli]

To be honest I hadn't heard of T11 siege bombs till I made this video, my server is still young and I haven't even seen anyone using siege to attack at all. Most of my conclusions are going purely off the stats I see lol. Right now I'm trying to figure out if march size or attack will give you a better power exchange, and at what % they are equal, better, or worse

[@aroncoleman2301]

@EvonyAcademy_ kzbin.info/aero/PLviOV42dedLaPfZbCpkttnnSdsquIiSQI&si=j_XjIwxgsDeIdS70 Playlist for t11 siege bomb. Primary takeaway. 1. T11 power exchange. 2. Killing off layers. 3. Take advantage that siege can kill all troop types including siege. 4. No need for runestones..but gem expensive. 5. Utilize march size buffs...general, assistant, spiritual beast, ring, skill book. .ring exception for most, want the siege troop range buff. Swap spirit best for dragon flat refines when you have enough gems. 6. Rally setter rally size is primary. Rally Joiner march size to fill the rally capacity. That is what I remember without my notes infront of me. Watch the Playlist to find all the info.

[@garybansal]

It takes a siege machine attack book plus you forgot about the covenant it provides

[@Maath_Faseli]

That's true, I haven't researched how the new covenant feature works yet. I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

[@Ronin_1235]

Yes, he can take the attack book

[@Maath_Faseli]

Well that's unfortunate news. Well depending on who you ask I guess

[@syarifmirzaanggara596]

I use Pallas + Zucca and Petronas + Severus

[@EvonyWithGOT]

But where is your Zucca?

[@Maath_Faseli]

Final stats on Zucca 125 Atk, 90 Def, 65 HP, 20 MS

[@tw2501]

@@Maath_Faseliso the extra 6% march size doesn’t validate him enough to be ahead of Petronas at minimum?

[@Maath_Faseli]

@@tw2501 It depends on your total buffs and rally capacity. The higher your buffs and rally capacity the more important that 6% will be. He also has higher defense and HP than Petronas so I would give him the win overall between the two. I did this video before I started calculating total effective damage, so I will probably redo it once I've finished with the ground generals.

[@theboweryking]

f2p are better off selecting a Tavern general for the lead and a paywall(or premium) for the assistant. the f2p will get to max the tavern general to 10 full stars...but may never get 15 copies of a paywall general. I personally like generals with the march size combo of 14 on the red star list and 6 in specialty two. combine this with a march size ring, assistant with march size.....the march size helps give total power to the march attack. make up for the buff power you would get from the paywall generals. Note...for t11 Siege bombs, percentage buffs don't matter. how many troops in the rally will. hint, hint.

[@Maath_Faseli]

So you'd suggest Ulysses for F2P? I don't remember if I mentioned in this vid, but I haven't tested the march size/attack and how they will affect the power exchange in battle, if you have a link to a video of someone testing that please drop me a link.

[@mundomundovich2265]

Petronas was often in Trial of Knights before. I wonder when will be next rotation. If you had chance to get many copies of him, he is pretty good and works with alot of good assistants. There are several tiers of generals - tavern ones, premium but ToK available ( like Elise currently) , premium but can get from General Portrait Exhibition ( that pirate guy for example ) , premium for big whales.

[@theboweryking]

​@@mundomundovich2265 Patronas is good for attack marches only. - non of the "marching attack" buffs will activate beyond solo/rally attacks. so not good for holding buildings/reinforcement. -Has only 14% march size on red star list. but not the traditional 6% in the 2nd specialty. so not a good t11 siege bomb lead general.

[@theboweryking]

@@Maath_Faseli I put generals in 3 categories. a. attack generals: if the troop attack has the phrase "leading to attack" or "marching". b. reinforcement and holding buildings: buffs must (not) have the "leading to attack" or "marching". c. Flat refine attack generals: .Lead general has 14% on red star list and 6% on special 2. . Assistant has 10% in the gold book and 6% in special 2. . both must allow for the march size skill book. Note. -You can use the reinforcement/building holder generals to attack, but these generals are traditionally weaker for total attack. -Avoid generals that have the 20% march size but only when you do the 4th specialty. they are runestone expensive. not recommended for f2p. Plus for flat refine attack march percent buffs don't matter. stick with the generals that only need special 2 done.

[@mundomundovich2265]

@@theboweryking I am afraid you have been misled by Evony... as most people though. Sadly it seems I can't post links to other websites here ( for some reason.. ), so you are free to explore on your own. Evony is like your average dirty politician - it may say "The sky is yellow" , but it only do so to confuse you ( to make you spend more eventually ) or because they are incompetent garbage developers who only good at scamming people. This game consists of mostly lies and misconceptions all over the place. The only way to know for sure is by reverse engineering code or by science. Both of these were done by people. Trusting even a single word from them, thinking "yes, this is exactly how it works because they say so" is biggest mistake anyone can do in this game. So yea, "attacking" and "marching" wording WILL work while defending buildings in battlefields or temples/throne. Also "marching" and "attacking" buffs are basically the same type of buff with same activation conditions, only with different wording.

[@FullMidoJacket]

You forgot pallas skin. Has some attack buffs and debuffs

[@Maath_Faseli]

personally I don't think the skins matter enough to change anyone's choice for the amount of money you need to spend, or how lucky you need to get to acquire them. I haven't done the math for the average you would need to get the skins, but my best guess is it would be 100+ USD, and I personally don't think that kind of money is worth the 10% attack. I also don't consider the cultivation in the stats. I'm trying to figure out some ratios I can use to estimate their returns right now. But those can definitely swing the total buffs by +/- 10/20% at least. If you know of someone that has figured out the cultivations please let me know, once I get those I think I can confidently say the absolute best, but for now this list is more of a general overview.

[@lemordredmordred9435]

What about kleos?

[@Maath_Faseli]

Maxed Kleos 5 red star + full specialty is 135 Atk, 85 Def, 125 HP, 12 March size. He's comparable to the other premiums I checked. His base stats are also pretty good, especially with the 12% march size on his base skill. He's not as good as pallas or hunyadi, but he's better than Petronas and Raimondo.

[@lemordredmordred9435]

Thank you very much!

[@brandondewitt6879]

Hunyadi pairs with mihai

[@rexkwondo21]

Pallas pairs with hunyadi?

[@Maath_Faseli]

Yes that's correct, but remember you don't get any ascension skills from the assistant

[@rexkwondo21]

@EvonyAcademy_ thanks! I have pallas not need an assistant lol...maybe I'll open some general tokens

[@-SeanyBoy-]

i dont think you quite have a handle on gens skills compatability yet? 1st- Teach & Raimondo are rein gens, so you are comparing apples to oranges. Teach is the only only decent siege reign gen that can take an attack book because of the dragon/spirit beast clause (I think?). 2nd - Attack books have no qualifiers which is why its hard to put them on rein gens who also have no qualifiers & an attack of 30%+, they are not compatible. 30-35% seems to be the cutoff for adding a book to most reign gens, but isnt always the same, so they are the only gens to worry about the book with. On the other hand ALL attacking gens (..Leading the Army to Attack, etc...) can take the book because they have attacking qualifiers which allows the 25% book (W/O qualifiers) to apply without conflict. this also works for pairing gens, you can always use a rein gen & attacking gen together because thier buffs have different qualifiers, so no conflict. I have spent the LAST YEAR TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT & THIS IS THE BEST I CAN EXPLAIN IT, LOL.

[@Maath_Faseli]

I understand how they work, this list is meant only to compare the attacking generals. reinforcing and defending generals will be an entirely different topic.
