Benjamin Gifford's Insights on Evony's Cross-Time Generals

Many Evony veterans know that Generals gameplay is a core feature of the game. It lets players recruit famous historical figures from different eras and regions. These include King Arthur, Napoleon, and Abraham Lincoln, as well as Chinese and Japanese leaders like Wu Zetian and Nobunaga Oda. The generals' differing skill sets enhance the immersive experience and fun for players. Today, we focus on the character design features of two different types of games—Evony's generals and League of Legends' Lulu.

Evony is a real-time strategy game set in the Middle Ages, where players can gather resources, build and defend cities, and participate in large-scale cross-service alliance wars.

The Generals of Evony feature the following:

In Evony, generals can not only lead an attack but also defend your main city, manage affairs in your main city, and oversee your subordinate cities. The game establishes a special skill for each historic general, which indicates the general's main purpose. Each historic general has his or her own unique story, special skill, and general specialty.

Each general in Evony has different attributes, so you need to choose the right general according to different purposes. This requires players to pay attention to the general's special skill and specialty and pair them with the appropriate troop types.

For instance, General Lu Xun can benefit ground troops and mounted troops, while General Mihai can bring buff bonuses to ranged troops and siege machines.
