Jadwiga or Boudica? The Ultimate Mounted Defense General Showdown

Evony gives you two free wall generals for mounted troops: Jadwiga and Boudica. Both are Epic Historic Generals, so what’s the actual difference between them? In this guide, we’ll break down how they compare so you can figure out which one fits your playstyle, plus cover how to get each one. Hope it helps!

Background of Jadwiga & Boudica

In 1386, Jadwiga, Queen of Poland, married Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania, forging a remarkable union: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Fighting hard, the combined Polish-Lithuanian forces defeated the Teutonic Knights entrenched in Central Europe, securing access to the Baltic Sea estuary. From that point on, war-torn Poland experienced rapid growth in its economy, culture, and education. Jadwiga sponsored countless Polish artists and writers, constantly encouraging people to pursue higher ideals. Her contributions to Polish culture were extraordinary, ushering in Poland’s most glorious era.

Devout and kind-hearted, Jadwiga nonetheless shrank from no challenge. She strengthened the bond between Poland and Lithuania, securing the future of both nations, and earned the enduring praise of Poland and the world.

Boudica: A fearless Queen of Britain, leader of the uprising force against the Roman Empire.
  In A.D. 61, Queen Boudica sounded the trumpet of resistance with the support of the British people, who could no longer tolerate the Roman Empire.
  The bondage of slavery was broken, and Boudica and her Celtic fighters launched an extremely cruel retaliation against the aggressors! They wore blue markings, wildly destroyed Rome’s cities in Britain, slaughtered the enemy, and sacrificed their heads to the glory and victory! Her troops swept across Britain, making the Roman Emperor terrified! Nevertheless, Boudica failed to get the final win. The defeated Boudica was unwilling to be captured by the Romans and swallowed the deadly poison.
  Boudica fought bravely for freedom, and her spirit of sacrifice is deeply engraved on the land of Britain!
