Hi Aka, I am a big fan, thanks for all your content. Btw this is something that I wanted to tell you in your previous video, where you weren't sure if Soult could take the attack book as you don't own the general. Only in the attacking generals, where the skillbook specifies "when leading the army to attack", it is 100% sure that they can take the attack book. For the reinforcing generals, where the skillbook specifies "when leading the army": - If the main stats = to 25%, they will not take the skillbook (Subutai, Martinus, Minamoto, Naomasa, Soult, etc.). I have tested this theory with all the general I own and it seems to be consistent.
Hi ☺️👋 Hmmm, that’s an interesting theory 🧐 I never bothered to check if the was any uniformity with the generals that can’t take the attack skill books or not. Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely keep that in mind 😊🙏
Aka! Can you please make a very basic sub city video? For keeps under 30. I don’t understand what the mayors purpose is and how well their skills work, how important their gear or skillbooks are, how important gold production or construction is, what that even does for your main city, etc. I can’t seem to find the right info on this no matter how hard I look. At one guide, it said you can train only one troop type in your sub city, and set the appropriate mayor there to coordinate with that troop type. Is this even possible? Thanks for reading!!

again great clip from aka brother i need your opinion about best tavern defense generals after all this update with premium generals as assistant for example ( queen boudica + leonidas) thank you for all your videos 💐👏🏻
Thanks 😊🙏 Hmmm, tavern generals...🤔 I think the top picks for tavern defense generals are Boudica, Kusunoki and Yi Sun Sin. As for combination with assistants, I think that really depends on the style you are playing and what you want to focus on (regular defense, t1 trap, etc). Wall generals have the highest compatibility in the game, so finding a good assistant to fit your needs shouldn’t be too difficult, as long as you can get the generals 😅
That depends on what you want. Your defense plan will dictate the wall generals and assistants that are appropriate for you, not the other way around 👌
Thank you, Aka, love your work! A couple of remarks: 1) it seems that many of the versatile generals have the unfortunate quality of blocking the attack skill book. True across the types, ranged, mounted, ground. I don't think it's always true but it is very common. 2) do you think there's any chance Elektra gets her skin? I remember you noticing the coat hanger on her card a couple of months back. It would really help boost this popular general. Certainly a way for Evony to recover some goodwill from the customer base. Thank you for the always great and intelligent content!
I’ve noticed this too. The only Generals that are unable to take the Attack Book are the Versatile 2-Way Generals (Attack/Defend). As you said, it’s not all the Versatile Generals, but it’s only Generals from that group. So this means, it’s not necessarily a knock against them that they can’t take the Book…because they retain most, if not all, of their stats regardless of the situation. Other Generals lose a lot of “Attacking” Stats if they’re not, you know, actually Attacking someone. I guess it’s a matter of, do you want to maximize attack power for hitting keeps? Or do you want a General that keeps his/her strength regardless of the situation you use them in (Attacking/Wall/Reinforce/Occupy)? I’m thinking of creating a secondary Cav March using Li Naomasa for this reason. He’s focused on Toughness, and can keep his strength wherever I send him. Especially if I use him to hold buildings or rein teammates, whatever, where I don’t have the benefit of my Debuffs…I need a guy that stays strong, and is focused on being tough to kill. That’s my logic. I’d like to think it’s sound…
Thanks you 😊🙏 1) Yeah, that’s the case for quite a few generals. I guess that is Evony’s way of trying to make the generals useful, but not OP. It is however a bit annoying though 😅 2) No idea 😅. I think Evony will keep releasing skins, as they have seen that it encourages spending. When they will bring it out widespread for Elektra, I have no idea 🤷♂️
I think it’s just a matter of strategy. It’s like, ok, you can have an OP General, pushing the upper limits of Attack Power, but in order to achieve that, you have to sacrifice versatility. Or, you can go with a General that remains powerful in every scenario, but you have to sacrifice that extra oomph. I guess it depends on your style of play.
Thank you 😊🙏 You might not be able to get several copies needed for ascension, but if you can get a few premium general tokens, you will eventually land a few premium generals 👌
It does sound the same 😂 but in Evony, there’s a difference. Simply put, when attacking is strictly that - when you are attacking. When leading the army can be when attacking, defending, reinforcing, marching, etc. “When leading the army” is Evony’s way of saying “Can be used in all situations” 😉👌
The general’s stats increase the % buffs of the troops the general is leading. The same goes for the general’s base stats. As you raise the generals level and increase cultivation (and also ascension), the general’s base stats increase and add to the % buffs on the troops, which are separate from the general’s skill, specialties and ascension buffs 👌 The higher the base stats, the more buffs the general gives 😇
The main general will have access to all their buffs including base stats, main skill, specialties, ascension, as well as buffs from a dragon or spirit beast. Assistants only have buffs from their main skill and specialties. Nothing else 👌
That depends on which general you want to use as you main general. Usually, the general that is easier for you to ascend will be the main general. There are also some other conditions to consider like whether they require a dragon or not
Glad to help 😊👍 I checked and Subutai is compatible with Alfred 😁👍 Of course, as I mentioned in the video, you won’t be able to use the ranged attack book though
There is no wrong information there. I clearly stated that Subutai cannot take the attack skill book. If you are going to use him with those generals, just take off the attack book👌
Unfortunately Subutai cannot use the ranged attack skill book and he does not pair well with many generals. He is very subclass to the other ranged generals.
I guess that depends on what your definition of “subclass” is. In terms of compatibility, from the generals I’ve checked, Subutai is compatible with Charles, Douglas, Alfred, Conrad and Gnarr. In addition, I’ve heard he’s also compatible with Kaguya.
bro, this comparacing is bad, always need to take march size into account, Charles 16% march size equals to 43% attack and def, 40% hp. Elecra's 16% is 43/40/40. Subutai is 38/36/35. So Charles or Electra better than Subutai being primary. Electra stats at lv45 with attack amd m.size book is 431/329/296 (m.size converted to stats %). Subutai - 418/388/315.
@@RedEvony Derrick Delfies has it, mine is alil different, (1000+GB+GS)*(MB*5500)/2792000 where is 1000 is buff without general and gear (average, more this buff more march size buff giving), GB is general's buffs from skill+ascending+specialities, GS - general's stats from attributes (leadership, att,def. pol), MS - march size buff % (book, ascending, specialities), 5500 is k40 rally spot 1% of march size, 2.792.000 k40 max march (research, vip18, rank, monarch gear etc) of mfor most of players its less, means more buffs to att/def/hp from march size.

@eminent_junkie that's a good way of putting it. It's kind of a choice.
Very documented video,as always! For me premium gens are imposible to obtain :(
You are wrong. Work on Helen. She gives premium generals at level 10. I got Petronas yesterday.
Thank you 😊🙏
You might not be able to get several copies needed for ascension, but if you can get a few premium general tokens, you will eventually land a few premium generals 👌
@@RedEvonygood point about the ascension!
What's the difference between when leading the army and when attacking? Doesn't it almost sound the same? What's the difference?
It does sound the same 😂 but in Evony, there’s a difference.
Simply put, when attacking is strictly that - when you are attacking. When leading the army can be when attacking, defending, reinforcing, marching, etc.
“When leading the army” is Evony’s way of saying “Can be used in all situations” 😉👌
thank you for working that all out! I have a (probably stupid) question: what exactly is the effect of the general stats on the troops?
The general’s stats increase the % buffs of the troops the general is leading.
The same goes for the general’s base stats.
As you raise the generals level and increase cultivation (and also ascension), the general’s base stats increase and add to the % buffs on the troops, which are separate from the general’s skill, specialties and ascension buffs 👌
The higher the base stats, the more buffs the general gives 😇
@@RedEvony so the base stats are like flat buffs added to the troops the general is leading?
I pair him with Charles XII. Great match
How do stats change in leading the army of being a assistant
The main general will have access to all their buffs including base stats, main skill, specialties, ascension, as well as buffs from a dragon or spirit beast.
Assistants only have buffs from their main skill and specialties. Nothing else 👌
He's an ok assistant for someone like charles if you don't have elanore or elektra with an extra dragon
He works well with Princess Kaguya
Can you analyze Narses nect, please?
Noted 👌
How do I tell the difference between lead general and assistant?
That depends on which general you want to use as you main general.
Usually, the general that is easier for you to ascend will be the main general.
There are also some other conditions to consider like whether they require a dragon or not
So any general can be main or assistant
Aka I heard Kaguya and him is good if you try them please let me know? I don't have him yet so please let know and thanks for the video 🎉❤🙋🏽♀️

Thanks. I don't want to waste my general tokens if I can't even use him as a good assistant to Alfred

Of course, as I mentioned in the video, you won’t be able to use the ranged attack book though
@@RedEvony really? Hmmm, barely worth it then. ugh
If he is assisting Douglas he cancels out the attack skill book
If you use skill books, you cannot use subutay as assistant in douglas and charles, please correct it, you are giving wrong information
There is no wrong information there. I clearly stated that Subutai cannot take the attack skill book.
If you are going to use him with those generals, just take off the attack book👌
