Evony Update & New General Henry IV
Hey, and welcome to the Empire Build Academy. Let's jump straight in and check out this weeks Evony Update & New General Henry IV, and the update is packed: instant Alliance Boss resummon, auto-mail rewards, Yolande of Aragon (cake-tier monster), Spiritual Beast Lv.25 seals, Storm Ruins Battlefield Season 2, and the brand-new mounted beast Henry IV. If you're grinding K50 or hoarding 110+ general tokens like me (Favian, Empire Build Academy), this is your complete patch recap + Henry IV skills, ascension, covenant, and whether he's worth your gems. Let's dive in—server 1429 style.
Patch 5.12.0 Quick Hits – What Actually Changed?
Alliance Boss Instant Resummon: R4/R5 can summon new boss IMMEDIATELY after kill—no more missed challenges.
Reward Recovery: Unclaimed boss damage rewards auto-mailed—check inbox!
Fixed: Castle skin teleport bugs + prettier login chests.
St. Martin’s Day Event: Cake tiers 1-10—tier 10 unlocks Yolande of Aragon (market officer beast).
Clash of Civilizations Season 7: Starts Nov 10—congrats top 25 on 1429!
Storm Ruins Battlefield Season 2: Nov 10 → Dec 27 (full schedule below).
Spiritual Beast Seal Upgrade – Lv.20 → Lv.25 + 4th Skill
Every beast now unlocks a fourth skill at seal Lv.85 + Pasture Lv.45. New perks? +3% all-troop attack/def/HP across the board—minimal, but free power for K45+ coiners. F2P? Still grind those 1-star in-city buffs first.
New Skin: Lion of the Kingdom Gilgamesh
Glorious Attire event—enemy range attack -6%, range/siege HP -10%. Looks epic on Henry IV marches.
Yolande of Aragon – The $5,000 Market Officer
Cake tier 10 + Tomb Expedition Lv.4 chest. Market officer buffs:
+20% grain/main troops attack/def/HP
-10% enemy range attack
5★ ascension: +15% troops attack/HP +6% rally capacity
F2P reality: I'll never see her. Coiners only.
Henry IV – New Epic Historic Mounted General (Finally a Decent One!)
Special Skill "Good King Henry"
+55% troops attack/HP
+40% ground/mounted defense (when leading)
Ascension Breakdown
1★ +20% mounted def/HP
2★ +8% death-to-wounded
3★ +20% mounted attack, +25% mounted/ground HP
4★ +25% attacking ground/mounted attack/def
5★ +40% mounted attack/def +8% march size
Maxed Specialties
Mounted def/HP +10%
Ground/mounted attack +10%
Mounted attack/HP/def +10%
Mounted attack +55%, def/HP +45%
Covenant (War/Faith/Honor/Civilization)
Total march size: +18% (low for 2025!)
+10% mounted HP (multiple sources)
+10% attacking mounted attack
Verdict: Best mounted attacker since Roland—perfect Elise assistant for T17 rallies. Trap keepers? Skip (no wall buffs).
