Evony General Romulus is a new siege machine general released with the 2025 Triumphal Celebration. This general can bring great benefits to siege attacks and HP, with a maximum effect that exceeds all current siege generals. This guide will explain in detail all of his buffs, how to obtain him, which generals he can be paired with, and the recommended skill books.
Romulus General Story
Romulus, hero of Roman myth and founder of its civilization, rose like thunder from the chaos of ancient Italy. With iron will and blood-soaked resolve, he forged an era of Rome.
Cast away at birth, he was nurtured by a divine she-wolf. Hardened by suffering, he forged an unbreakable will. With his twin Remus, he overthrew tyranny in Alba Longa, but Romulus sought more than a crown. Divided by ambition, he faced his brother in a fateful clash, claiming destiny with blood and steel.
In 753 BCE, on Palatine Hill, he drew Rome’s first sacred boundary. Gathering tribes, founding the Senate, and shaping order from chaos, he built the foundation of an empire.
More than a king, Romulus was the embodiment of might. When he vanished into a storm, legends claimed he ascended as a god. His name endures, not just as Rome’s first ruler, but as its eternal spirit.

-

The path to earn the skin:
You can claim the skin at the King’s Party event of the 2025 Triumphal Celebration.
During the event, you can purchase gems (including packages) to upgrade the party cake level.
After the event ends, you may not be able to obtain Romulus’s skin for a while. However, we speculate that there will be other events in the game later that will give us new opportunities to obtain the general skin.
