Evony Best Main City Defense Generals for 4 Troop Types

To master Evony’s PVP, in addition to focusing on offensive generals, we also need to train defensive generals. There are many Main City Defense Generals in the game, and their special skills and specialties have different emphases. The specific defense general you choose depends on what troops you plan to use to defend the city.

Defense troops in Evony can be divided into 4 types:

In-city Ground Troops
In-city Mounted Troops
In-city Ranged Troops
In-city Siege Machines

This guide sorts out the main city defense generals with strong buffs for these four troop types. And based on the comparison data, it summarizes the four strongest defenders. If you are interested, please continue reading.

Evony 4 Troop Types' Main City Defense Generals — Evony 4 Troop Types’ Main City Defense Generals

Abbreviation Index:

GA/GD/GHP – Ground Troop Attack/Defense/HP

MA/MD/MHP – Mounted Troop Attack/Defense/HP

RA/RD/RHP – Ranged Troop Attack/Defense/HP

SA/SD/SHP – Siege Machine Attack/Defense/HP

EGA/EMA – Enemy Ground Troop Attack / Evony Mounted Troop Attack

For In-city Ground Troops:

General	Attack	Defense	HP	Others
Isaac Brock	191	105	115	Hospital Capacity +20 Troop death into troop soul rate in the main city +10
Leonidas I	140	40	110	Hospital Capacity +30

By comparison, we can find that Isaac Brock’s buffs to in-city infantry when he is a main city defense general are greater than Leonidas I. Besides, Isaac Brock’s buffs to the other three types of troops are also better than Leonidas I. Leonidas I does not have any buffs to siege machines. Because Isaac Brock has extra covenant attributes.

See the table below for details.

Isaac Brock	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +191 GD +105 GHP +115	MA +47 MD +20 MHP +65	RA +11 RD +30 RHP +40	SA +11 SD +30 SHP +40	Hospital Capacity +20 Troop death into troop soul rate in the main city +10
Assistant General	GA +111 GD +75 GHP +80	MA +41 MD +10 MHP +50	RA +11 RD +5 RHP +15	SA +11 SD +5 SHP +15	Troop death into troop soul rate in the main city +10

Leonidas I	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +140 GHP +110 GD +40	MA +30 MHP +30 MD +30	RA +45	0	Hospital Capacity+30
Assistant General	GA +90 GHP +50 GD +10	MA +10	RA +25	0	Hospital Capacity+10

For In-city Mounted Troops:

General	Attack	Defense	HP	Others
Queen Boudica	112	100	120	Hospital Capacity +30
Yi Sun-sin	102	50	35	Hospital Capacity +20 EGA & EMA -10

It can be seen from this that the strongest main city defense general for cavalry is Queen Boudica.

A detailed comparison of the two generals is as follows:

Queen Boudica	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +16 GD +30 GHP +50	MA +112 MD +100 MHP +120	RA +6	SA +6	Hospital Capacity +30
Assistant General	GA +16 GHP +15	MA +92 MD +10 MHP +25	RA +6	SA +6	Hospital Capacity +10

Yi Sun-sin	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +92 GD +50 GHP +25	MA +102 MD +50 MHP +35	RA +37	SA +37	Hospital Capacity +20 EGA & EMA -10
Assistant General	GA +57	MA +67	RA +22	SA +22	EGA & EMA -10

For In-city Ranged Troops:

General	Attack	Defense	HP	Others
Zachary Taylor	121	60	70	Hospital Capacity +30 Trap Triggering Chance +20
Yodo-dono	112	65	75	Hospital Capacity+20
George Dewey	122	10	50	Hospital Capacity+20 Trap Triggering Chance +20

From the perspective of in-city archer defense and HP, Yodo-dono is the best. As for attack, George Dewey is the best. But overall, Zachary Taylor has the most comprehensive benefits for in-city ranged troops.

Detailed comparisons in other aspects are as follows:

Zachary Taylor	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +6 GD +45 GHP +35	MA +6 MD +45 MHP +35	RA +121 RD +60 RHP +70	SA +41	Hospital Capacity +30 Trap Triggering Chance +20
Assistant General	GA +6	MA +6	RA +101 RHP +10	SA +41	Hospital Capacity +10 Trap Triggering Chance +20

Yodo-dono	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +12 GD +30 GHP +35	MA +12 MD +30 MHP +35	RA +112 RD +65 RHP +75	SA +47 SD +30 SHP +35	Hospital Capacity+20
Assistant General	GA +12 GD +10 GHP +20	MA +12 MD +10 MHP +20	RA +77 RD +20 RHP +30	SA +12 SD +10 SHP +20

George Dewey	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +6	MA +6 MD +60 MHP +50	RA +122 RD +10 RHP +50	SA +112 SHP +50	Hospital Capacity+20 Trap Triggering Chance +20
Assistant General	GA +6	MA +6 MHP +15	RA +82 RD +10	SA +72	Trap Triggering Chance +20

For In-city Siege Machines:

General	Attack	Defense	HP	Others
Takenaka Shigeharu	146	80	50	Hospital Capacity+20
Leo III	130	50	40	Hospital Capacity+20 Trap Triggering Chance +20
George Dewey	112	0	50	Hospital Capacity+20 Trap Triggering Chance +20
William Marshal	106	60	0	Hospital Capacity+20

Based on the buff values, Takenaka Shigeharu is by far the strongest main city defense general for in-city siege machines in all aspects.

However, this general cannot be obtained through regular general tokens. We need to pay attention to various events in Evony to see if there is a chance to get this general.

As an alternative, we can start with Leo III, George Dewey, and William Marshal.

Takenaka Shigeharu	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GD +90 GHP +60	MD +90 MHP +60	RD +70 RHP +40	SA +146 SD +80 SHP +50	Hospital Capacity+20
Assistant General	GD +75	MD +75	RD +30	SA +90 SD +40 SHP +10

Leo III	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +20 GD +35 GHP +35	MA +20 MD +35 MHP +35	RA +60 RD +40 RHP +20	SA +130 SD +50 SHP +40	Hospital Capacity+20 Trap Triggering Chance +20
Assistant General	GA +10	MA +10	RA +50 RD +20	SA +105 SD +30	Trap Triggering Chance +20

William Marshal	Ground	Mounted	Ranged	Siege	Others
Main General	GA +6 GD +30 GHP +55	MA +46 MD +30 MHP +55	RA +96 RD +70 RHP +10	SA +106 SD +60	Hospital Capacity+20
Assistant General	GA +6 GD +30 GHP +20	MA +46 MD +30 MHP +20	RA +56 RD +20 RHP +10	SA +66 SD +10

Conclusion:

To sum up, the 4 strongest main city defense generals I recommend is as follows.

In-city Ground Troops – Isaac Brock

In-city Mounted Troops – Queen Boudica

In-city Ranged Troops – Zachary Taylor

In-city Siege Machines – Takenaka Shigeharu
