New Ranged General Hatshepsut on Evony

Welcome to Empire Build Academy! I’m Favian, and today we’re diving into the latest Evony: The King's Return update featuring two new ranged generals released on Friday, August 22, 2025. I had to ask Alexa to pronounce the first one—Hatshepsut so hopefully she did well, haha. If you’re new here, welcome!

Discovering the New Generals

The new generals are part of the Historic General Summoning event, now housed under the Heavenly Fire Ceremony in the Event Center. Let’s break them down.

Hatshepsut : The Star Ranged General

Event Boost: 600% increased chance to summon, plus boosts for premium general tokens.

Reward Odds: 17.5% chance for Hatshepsut , 7.5% for three others, and 2.5% for lower tiers.

Normal Stats:

+55% range troop attack and HP when leading attacks.

+40% range troop and siege machine defense with a dragon or spiritual beast.

Ascensions:

1-Star: +10% range troop attack and defense.

2-Star: 8% attacking troop death-to-wound rate.

3-Star: +15% range troop attack, +6% march size capacity.

4-Star: +15% range troop/siege machine attack, +15% range troop HP.

5-Star: +35% attacking range troop attack and defense, additional march size capacity.

Specialties:

+10% range troop attack and defense.

+10% attacking siege machine/range troop attack.

+10% range troop attack, HP, and defense.

+55% attacking range troop attack, +40% siege machine/range troop defense, +40% HP.

Covenant: Adds attacking range troop HP, training speed, reinforcing attack/defense, and +5% march size capacity (totaling 25%).

General Skin: -5% enemy ground/mounted troop HP, +8% attacking range troop attack when rallying.

Verdict: With 25% march size capacity, Hatshepsut is solid for range-focused players. I’m sticking with Marcus Aurelius for now—75 tokens feel risky, and I’m holding out for a wall general.

Ahmose I: The Lesser Option

Special Skill: +55% range troop attack and defense, +40% HP when leading.

Ascensions: Include minimal march size capacity boosts (around 15% total).

Specialties: Less impressive, with no standout features.

Covenant: Present but lacks a special skin.

Verdict: Outshined by Hatshepsut's better march size and skin benefits, Ahmose I is unlikely to attract much attention.

Strategic Considerations

Hatshepsut 25% march size capacity is decent but has been surpassed by past releases (30%-40%). Decide if she fits your range strategy or wait for a stronger general. I’m saving tokens, hoping for a wall general soon.

Final Thoughts

Hatshepsut stands out as a viable range general, while Armos lags behind. Share your thoughts in the comments—will you chase Hatshepsut, hold off for bigger boosts, or target something else? Subscribe for more Evony updates, and I’ll see you in the next video soon. Thanks for watching!
