ATTRIBUTE METHODOLOGY - v4.1.1

Attribute Ranking Methodology

The EvonyAnswers (EvAns) Attribute Ranking System will tend to favor Offense (Attack & March Size) over Toughness (HP & Defense). It also tends to favor Army Generals with good Enemy Debuffs.

There's a multiplier for each Attribute to achieve the approximate Score Weightings listed below. All the multipliers are applied the same way to all Army General Attributes in each specific category.

Attribute Categories:

• Basic Attributes Score - Leadership, Attack, Defense, & Politics.

• Base Skill Score - Also known as the "Built-In" Skill Score.

• Four (4) Skill Books - For the Lead General's Best Four (4) Possible Skill Books.

• Specialties Score - As appropriate for that Specific Ranking, i.e. 4-Yellow, 3-Orange, 3-Purple, etc.)

• Ascending Enhancement Score - only added for the Ascending Enhancement Rankings.

Please check out the article below for a more detailed explanation:

19. Shajar al-Durr - Grade: C (67.6% - 851) – She is the best (and only) option for Peace-Time In-City Defense (Main Wall) General, but can be a descent PvP option if ALL of her Ascending Enhancements are developed.

• Specialist Against: Strongest against Enemy Ranged Attacks.

• Conflict Group: NG

• Dragon: Not Required

• Covenant: No

• Acquisition: CHALLENGING, available in the Great General’s Chest (GGC).

• Culture: Arabia

• Expertise: Main City Defense (Currently No Category in Senate)

• Introduced: November, 2018

• Recommended Specialty Level: For most people, 3-Purple or less. However, she is the best (and only) option for Peace-Time In-City Defense (Main Wall) General. The problem is that her 4th Specialty is not that great. If her 4th Specialty was 200% Resource Production Increase, instead of 200% Food Protected from Troop Upkeep, maybe it would be worth the Runestones. Even if it was so, there are probably better places to spend Runestones.

20. Gustavus Adolphus - Grade: D+ (59.4% - 747) – Not specifically a Main Wall Army General, but has Skills and Specialties that make him a reasonable temporary choice if nothing better is available. He’s a reasonable PvP option, but probably not a good permanent solution because his 4th Specialty will NOT work when he’s an In-City Defense (Main Wall) General.

DRAGON

Dragon for In-City Defense (Main Wall) General

Whenever possible, Dragons should be placed on PvP Generals (mostly because I hate moving Dragons). VERY few players have five (5) Dragons, so the Dragons should assigned per the following:

1. Ranged PvP - Celtic Demon (1st Dragon - Red) or upgrade to Ladon (6th Dragon - Turquoise)

2. Mounted PvP - Fafnir (2nd Dragon - Purple) or upgrade to Nidhogg (5th Dragon - Dark Blue)

3. In-City Defense (Main Wall) - Dragon of Thebes (4th Dragon - Gold)

4. Ground PvP - Norway Ridge (3rd Dragon - Light Blue) or upgrade to Amaterasu (7th Dragon - White)

5. Siege PvP - Fafnir (2nd Dragon - Purple) or upgrade to Colchian (8th Dragon - Green)

6. Mounted PvM for Pushing - Fafnir (2nd Dragon - Purple)

7. Subordinate City Battle (PvP) - Norway Ridge (3rd Dragon - Light Blue)

The Dragon of Thebes (4th Dragon - Gold) is typically assigned to the In-City Defense (Main Wall) General because it offers extra In-City Troop Bonuses. Currently, Dragon of Thebes is the only Dragon focusing on the In-City Defense (Main Wall) Buffs.
