How to Choose and Use Subordinate City General in Evony?

In Evony, there is a type of General that is suitable to be placed in a Subordinate City (Hereinafter referred to as sub city) as a Mayor. They usually have debuff attributes for enemy's troops and buff attributes for the sub-city troops. Many people will ask which sub city general is the most powerful when playing Evony. In fact, it's hard to give an answer because it depends on many factors. In practice, we can place the same general on different sub cities. Therefore, the specific choice needs to be adjusted based on our current overall debuff value, equipment, technology and so on.

Here, I have selected some sub city generals commonly used by players. Through a rough calculation of their specific attribute values, a guide list of debuff generals for different types of troops was compiled. I hope it will be helpful.

For the convenience of expression, the attribute descriptions below will be in abbreviated form, hereby explained:

• Enemy Ground Troop Attack, Defense, and HP are referred to as EGA, EGD, and EGHP respectively.

• Enemy Mounted Troop Attack, Defense, and HP are referred to as EMA, EMD, and EMHP respectively.

• Enemy Ranged Troop Attack, Defense, and HP are referred to as ERA, ERD, and ERHP respectively.

• Enemy Siege Machine Attack, Defense, and HP are referred to as ESA, ESD, and ESHP respectively.

• Enemy Troop Attack, Defense, and HP are referred to as E-T-A, E-T-D, and E-T-HP respectively.

• The value in "( )" is the max-level attribute value of the general's last specialty.

• In the tables below, the debuff values for each type of enemy troops have added the values of E-T-A, E-T-D, and E-T-HP.

• Since the buff attributes of sub-city generals are only effective for troops in this sub city, this article only considers their debuff attributes.

• The following calculations simply add up the debuff percentage values, because the real data will change with other factors such as the training stage of the general and the total number of troops. But these inaccurate figures adequately represent the capabilities of these generals, all else being equal.
