New Evony Feature Citizens Guide 2025: Unlock Passive Buffs in the K50 Update – F2P Recruitment & Assignment Tips
The Evony K50 update (October 24, 2025) brought Tier 17 troops and Wisdom Dome grinds, but one underrated gem is the New Evony Feature Citizens feature—now live on ALL servers, including veterans like 1429. If you're F2P or low-spender chasing stamina, resources, and research edges without wall expansions, this is your passive powerhouse. In this beginner-friendly guide from Empire Build Academy, we break down recruitment, assignment, upgrades, and why those "minimal" buffs stack up over time. No more new-server envy—grab your daily freebie and boost your keep today!
What Are Citizens in Evony? A Quick K50 Feature Breakdown
Citizens are assignable NPCs that trickle +% buffs to production, healing, and more—think micro-boosts like 0.5-7K/hour ore without micromanaging. Previously locked to fresh servers, K50 rollout means everyone gets in. Qualities range from gray (basic) to gold (elite)—purples/golds shine, but greens/blues add up fast.
Favian's take: "Not spectacular... but worth collecting daily." Pair with events for 2x gains—essential for T17 resource wars.
How to Recruit Citizens: Daily Freebies & Gem Packs
Spot them outside your keep or in the Tavern—recruit via the front icon or bottom menu. Free daily chance yields medals/fragments; extras cost gems (50K for 10x daily—hoarders, skip unless grinding).
Pity System: Epic (purple/gold) guaranteed every 50 recruits.
Packs: $4.99 for 10 chances + minor rewards—F2P verdict: "Not great value," but triples for speed.
Favian's demo: 10x pull netted Jack fragments, purple Katherine, and medals—quick stamina/research bumps.
Daily Free 0 Gems 1 Citizen Medal + Fragments
Gem Buy (10x) 50K Gems Purples (e.g., Katherine), Blues (e.g., Collins)
Event Pack $4.99 10 Chances + Material Chest
Assigning Citizens: Quick Setup for Stamina, Resources & Healing
Hit the top icon (or Tavern) for Assignment Mode—drag to buildings for targeted buffs. Quick Assign auto-places your best (e.g., purples to high-impact spots).
Tavern +Stamina Recovery 1.8% Total (Multi-Citizen)
Academy +Research Speed 3.5% (Juliet + Charlotte)
Hospital +Healing Speed 2% (3 Citizens Stacked)
Mines/Quarries +Ore/Stone Production 7K/Hour (Jack)
Sawmill +Wood Output 3-5% (Greens + Blues)
Switch to Overview Mode (bottom-right) for totals—Favian's post-recruit: +1.8% stamina, +3.5% research. Blues/greens fill gaps; purples anchor.
Upgrading Citizens: Stars, Ascension & Fragment Grind
Only purples/golds get the green arrow—use medals/fragments to boost stars (5 stars → 1-star ascension?). Favian's Katherine: Medals ready, but fragments short—daily recruits fix that.
Star Levels: Feed fragments/medals—unlocks bigger buffs (e.g., +1% per star).
Quality Scale: Gray (0.5%) → Green (1%) → Blue (2-3%) → Purple (5-7%) → Gold (10%+?).
Grind via recruits—Favian's 10x: 5x Francis fragments + Murphy shards. No lower-quality upgrades—feed 'em as fodder.
F2P & Low-Spender Tips: Maximize Citizens in K50 Meta
This isn't a power spike—it's steady drip for long-haul grinds:
Daily Routine: Free recruit + Quick Assign—stack Tavern/Academy first (SvS stamina gold).
Gem Wisely: 50K (5K for one chance) for an extra 10 x chances
Track Progress: Citizen List shows all—ascend 1 purple/week.
Favian's plan: Monthly update—purples in mines for ore floods. New servers? Share your stacks!
Final Thoughts: Citizens – Evony's Subtle K50 Lifeline?
Citizens won't zero K50s, but +3.5% research and 7K/hour ore? Vital for F2P holding T1 traps. "Minimal but add up"—daily habit for 2025 meta edges.
