Evony Epic Historic General Champlain is a new siege machine general who focuses on increasing the sieges’ HP.

Background Story
Samuel de Champlain, the legendary French explorer, was a beacon that led Europe toward the New World.
In 1603, Champlain set foot on the vast and unknown wilderness of North America, beginning his epic encounter with the civilizations beyond the Atlantic. Through relentless winters, famine, disease, and the perils of hostile attacks, Champlain stood resolute. His courage and leadership steered his expedition through adversity, culminating in the founding of Quebec City, France’s first prosperous stronghold in the New World, New France. For this, he would forever be hailed as the Father of New France.
Champlain was not only a conqueror but also a bridge between worlds. He respected native cultures, forged strong alliances, and shared the knowledge of European civilization, laying the foundation for peaceful coexistence and future growth.
His legacy endures as a symbol of exploration, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of discovery.
