Amir Timur Evony Guide 2026: Skills, Best Use & Build

Amir Timur Evony Guide 2026

Amir Timur is a specialist Gathering General in Evony: The King's Return.

He is best suited to:

• Resource Gathering

• high-capacity resource marches

• alt-account farming

• clearing large resource tiles

• secondary gathering marches

• F2P and low-spend economy development

His biggest strengths are:

• enormous Troop Load

• increased Resource Gathering Speed through Ascension

• Extra Resources from Resource Spots

• strong March Speed

• useful March Size

• excellent carrying capacity for alt farming

Amir Timur should not be developed as a combat General.

His correct role is resource collection.

Is Amir Timur Good in Evony?

Yes, for gathering.

Amir Timur's Special Skill provides:

• Troop Load +100%

whenever he is leading the army.

This is an enormous carrying-capacity increase.

However, Troop Load and Gathering Speed are different things.

Troop Load determines how many resources your march can carry.

Gathering Speed determines how quickly those resources are collected.

Amir Timur excels primarily at carrying capacity, although Ascension and Specialties also improve his gathering performance.

Amir Timur Best Role

Best Role: Gathering

Also Good For:

• alt-account resource farming

• clearing large resource tiles

• high-load marches

• secondary gathering teams

Avoid Using For:

• PvP

• Monster Hunting

• Main City Defense

• Subordinate City combat

• serious troop-leading roles

Amir Timur's combat buffs are far too limited to justify building him as a fighting General.

Amir Timur Special Skill

Amir Timur's Special Skill is:

King of Destruction

When Amir Timur is leading the army:

• Troop Load +100%

This allows the march to carry twice as much resource load before other bonuses are considered.

That is especially useful when:

• gathering from large resource tiles

• sending fewer troops to gather

• transporting resources from targets

• farming an alt account

Why Troop Load Matters

Every troop has a maximum amount of resources it can carry.

If your march does not have enough Troop Load, you may need to send:

• more troops

• higher-tier troops

• additional marches

to collect the same amount of resources.

Amir Timur dramatically increases carrying capacity.

This can be useful for players who want to:

• use fewer troops while gathering

• collect large amounts efficiently

• keep additional troops available for other marches

Amir Timur Ascension

Ascending Amir Timur significantly improves his gathering utility.

1 Star

• Resource Gathering Speed +15%

This is an excellent first Ascension bonus.

Unlike his base skill, this directly reduces the time required to gather resources.

2 Stars

• Troop Load +20%

• March Speed +15%

This pushes Amir Timur even further into high-capacity gathering while helping his marches travel faster.

3 Stars

• March Size Capacity +10%

This allows Amir Timur to bring more troops.

For gathering, the main benefit is additional carrying capacity when needed.

4 Stars

• Resource Gathering Speed +10%

• March Speed +15%

This gives another useful improvement to both collection and travel time.

5 Stars

• Extra Resources from Resource Spots +15%

• Resource Gathering Speed +10%

This is Amir Timur's most important Ascension stage.

The Extra Resources bonus means he can return with additional resources rather than simply gathering faster.

How Much Gathering Speed Does Amir Timur Get?

Amir Timur receives:

• Resource Gathering Speed +15% at 1-Star

• Resource Gathering Speed +10% at 4-Star

• Resource Gathering Speed +10% at 5-Star

• Gathering Speed +10% from Jungle

That gives:

45% Gathering Speed

from his Ascension and Specialty development.

Additional Gathering Skill Books, equipment and account bonuses can increase this further.

How Much Troop Load Does Amir Timur Get?

Amir Timur receives:

• Troop Load +100% from King of Destruction

• Troop Load +20% from 2-Star Ascension

• All Troops Load +50% from Battle of the Terek River

That gives:

170% Troop Load

from his own developed kit.

This is Amir Timur's defining advantage.

How Much March Speed Does Amir Timur Get?

Amir Timur receives:

• March Speed +15% at 2-Star Ascension

• March Speed +15% at 4-Star Ascension

• March Speed +26% from Battle of the Terek River

That gives:

56% March Speed

from his own development.

This helps reduce travel time between your city and resource spots.

How Much Native March Size Does Amir Timur Get?

Amir Timur gains:

• March Size +10% from 3-Star Ascension

March Size is not normally the most important gathering stat.

However, it can help when a very large resource load requires additional troops.

Amir Timur Specialties

Amir Timur has four Specialties.

Ground Troop Assault

• Ground Troop Attack +10%

• Ground Troop HP +10%

This is not particularly important for his main Gathering role.

Do not build Amir Timur as a Ground PvP General just because this Specialty exists.

Jungle

• Gathering Speed +10%

This directly improves his primary role.

Jungle is the most immediately useful Gathering Specialty in his tree.

King's Ambition

• Troop Death into Troop Soul Rate in the Main City +10%

This is primarily a combat-related effect and has little impact on normal resource gathering.

Battle of the Terek River

• All Troops Load +50%

• March Speed +26%

Battle of the Terek River reinforces Amir Timur's defining identity:

• huge carrying capacity

• faster resource marches

Amir Timur Extra Resources Bonus

At 5-Star Ascension, Amir Timur gains:

• Extra Resources from Resource Spots +15%

This is especially valuable because it improves the amount of resources returned rather than simply reducing gathering time.

That makes his fifth Ascension star substantially more valuable than his earlier Troop Load upgrades for serious gathering.

Best Skill Books for Amir Timur

Amir Timur should use Gathering Skill Books.

Choose three depending on the resources your account needs most:

• Lv4 Food Gatherer: Food Gathering Speed +45%

• Lv4 Lumber Gatherer: Lumber Gathering Speed +45%

• Lv4 Stone Gatherer: Stone Gathering Speed +45%

• Lv4 Ore Gatherer: Ore Gathering Speed +45%

You cannot equip all four at the same time.

A practical approach is to specialise each Gathering General around particular resource types.

For example:

Amir Timur could use:

• Food Gathering

• Lumber Gathering

• Ore Gathering

while another Gathering General specialises in Stone.

Should Amir Timur Use Troop Load Skill Books?

Usually no.

Amir Timur already has enormous built-in Troop Load.

In most ordinary resource gathering situations, gathering speed is more useful once your march can already carry the entire tile.

Only prioritise additional Troop Load if your march genuinely cannot carry the resources you want to collect.

Best Equipment for Amir Timur

Gathering equipment should focus on improving resource collection rather than combat.

Useful equipment bonuses include:

• Gathering Speed

• resource-specific Gathering Speed

• March Speed

• Troop Load where genuinely needed

For gathering refines, focus on the resource type you want Amir Timur to specialise in.

A simple setup can include:

Weapon

• resource-specific Gathering Speed %

Helmet

• resource-specific Gathering Speed %

Leg Armor

• resource-specific Gathering Speed %

Do not waste premium combat refines on Amir Timur.

Should You Refine Gathering Equipment?

Yes, but only if gathering is important enough to your account to justify the cost.

Useful refine targets include:

• Food Gathering Speed

• Lumber Gathering Speed

• Stone Gathering Speed

• Ore Gathering Speed

Specialising equipment generally works better than spreading refines randomly across every resource type.

For example, one General could become your dedicated Ore gatherer while another specialises in Lumber.

Amir Timur for Food Gathering

Amir Timur can be specialised for Food using:

• Lv4 Food Gatherer

• Food Gathering Speed equipment

• Food Gathering Speed refines

His enormous Troop Load also means relatively few troops may be needed to clear large Farm tiles.

Amir Timur for Lumber Gathering

For Lumber, use:

• Lv4 Lumber Gatherer

• Lumber Gathering Speed equipment

• Lumber Gathering Speed refines

Lumber becomes extremely important as building and troop costs increase.

A specialised gathering march can reduce pressure on stored resources.

Amir Timur for Stone Gathering

For Stone, use:

• Lv4 Stone Gatherer

• Stone Gathering Speed equipment

• Stone Gathering Speed refines

Stone is especially important during heavy construction periods.

Amir Timur for Ore Gathering

For Ore, use:

• Lv4 Ore Gatherer

• Ore Gathering Speed equipment

• Ore Gathering Speed refines

Ore becomes increasingly important for:

• high-level troops

• buildings

• military development

Making Amir Timur an Ore specialist can therefore be particularly useful.

Amir Timur for Alt-Account Farming

Amir Timur has an unusual secondary use:

alt-account resource farming.

His:

• massive Troop Load

• March Size

• March Speed

allow him to carry very large amounts of resources in a single march.

This can reduce the number of attacks or marches needed when transferring resources from a farm account.

However, always follow the current game rules and server policies around account usage and resource transfers.

Amir Timur vs Queen Jindeok

Queen Jindeok is generally the stronger primary Gathering General.

TEBA's existing guide already recommends choosing Queen Jindeok when available.

However, Evony allows multiple simultaneous marches.

That means Amir Timur can still be extremely useful as:

• another Gathering General

• a high-load specialist

• an alt-farming General

• a backup when all your better gatherers are already deployed

You do not need only one Gathering General.

A developed account benefits from having several.

Does Amir Timur Need an Assistant General?

An Assistant General can improve gathering where the skills are compatible.

Look for an Assistant that provides:

• Gathering Speed

• resource-specific Gathering Speed

• Extra Resources

• March Speed

• useful gathering utility

The exact pairing matters less than ensuring the two Special Skills remain active together.

Always test compatibility in-game.

Does Amir Timur Need a Dragon or Spiritual Beast?

No.

Do not assign an expensive combat Dragon to Amir Timur merely for gathering.

Those assets are much more valuable on:

• PvP Generals

• Monster Generals

• Main City Defense Generals

Use gathering-oriented bonuses only when they do not take something valuable away from a combat build.

Should Amir Timur Be Used in PvP?

No.

His Special Skill provides:

• Troop Load +100%

That offers no meaningful combat power.

His Ground Troop Assault Specialty does not provide enough combat strength to change this.

Use a dedicated PvP General instead.

Should Amir Timur Be Used for Monster Hunting?

No.

Troop Load does not help defeat monsters.

Dedicated Mounted Monster Generals provide much better:

• Monster Attack

• Mounted Attack

• Monster debuffs

• Double Item Drop

• stamina efficiency

Use Amir Timur for resources.

Is Amir Timur Still Relevant in 2026?

Yes.

Gathering Generals do not suffer combat power creep in quite the same way as PvP Generals.

Amir Timur still provides:

• Troop Load +100% immediately

• up to 170% Troop Load when fully developed

• Gathering Speed

• March Speed

• March Size

• Extra Resources from Resource Spots

That gives him a useful economy role even though stronger primary Gathering Generals exist.

Is Amir Timur F2P Friendly?

Potentially, but his acquisition information needs checking in-game.

Current sources conflict.

Some current General databases list Amir Timur as available from the Tavern with a Gold value.

Other current references list him as a premium or pack General.

Because acquisition pools change, check your current Tavern and active General events before spending specifically to obtain him.

Is Amir Timur Worth Ascending?

This depends on how important Gathering is to your account.

His Ascension provides:

• Gathering Speed +35%

• Troop Load +20%

• March Speed +30%

• March Size +10%

• Extra Resources from Resource Spots +15%

Those are useful economic bonuses.

However, Blood of Ares is also required for your combat Generals.

For most players, Main PvP and Defense Generals should receive Ascension priority.

Amir Timur becomes more attractive to Ascend when:

• your main Generals are already developed

• gathering is a major part of your economy

• you operate dedicated farm accounts

• you have sufficient spare Blood of Ares

Is Amir Timur Worth Specialties?

Jungle provides:

• Gathering Speed +10%

and Battle of the Terek River provides:

• Troop Load +50%

• March Speed +26%

These are useful.

However, Runestones are far more valuable on top combat Generals.

For most players, fully maxing Amir Timur's Specialties should be a low priority.

Only invest heavily once your important PvP, Defense and Monster Generals are already developed.

Is Amir Timur Worth Investing In?

Amir Timur is worth using if:

• you gather resources every day

• you need additional Gathering Generals

• you operate farm or alt accounts

• you value enormous Troop Load

• you regularly clear large resource tiles

• you already own him

He deserves less investment if:

• your core combat Generals are unfinished

• Blood of Ares is scarce

• Runestones are scarce

• you already have enough stronger Gathering Generals

• your marches already carry entire resource tiles easily

How to Obtain Amir Timur

Current sources disagree on Amir Timur's acquisition route.

Some databases list him with a Tavern Gold value, while other current references classify him as a pack-based General.

Because Evony changes General acquisition pools over time, verify the current in-game Tavern, premium General and event pools before spending specifically for Amir Timur.

TEBA 2026 Reality Check

Amir Timur's headline:

• Troop Load +100%

looks enormous.

But Troop Load does not automatically make a General the fastest gatherer.

Once your march can already carry an entire resource tile, extra Troop Load does not make that tile disappear any faster.

That means Gathering Speed and Extra Resources become more important.

This is why Amir Timur should be viewed as:

• a high-load specialist

• a secondary Gathering General

• an excellent alt-farming option

rather than automatically the best Gathering General in Evony.

[H2] TEBA Verdict

Amir Timur is a specialist Gathering General built around enormous carrying capacity.

His base Special Skill provides:

• Troop Load +100%

His Ascension can then add:

• Gathering Speed +35%

• Troop Load +20%

• March Speed +30%

• March Size +10%

• Extra Resources from Resource Spots +15%

while his Specialties add:

• Gathering Speed +10%

• All Troops Load +50%

• March Speed +26%

His biggest strength is:

• enormous Troop Load

A fully developed Amir Timur can contribute:

• Troop Load +170%

from his own kit.

His biggest limitation is that carrying capacity does not matter once your march can already clear the entire resource tile.

For everyday gathering, Queen Jindeok remains the better primary choice when available.

However, Amir Timur is still a useful secondary Gathering General, an excellent high-load specialist and a particularly handy option for players running farm or alt accounts in 2026.
