Guide to Getting the Most Out of General Alexander Hamilton in Evony

Evony’s new Epic Historic General, Alexander Hamilton, has been released in celebration of the 2025 Independence Day events. This general is good at leading ground troops. This guide will analyze his strengths by comparing him to other generals of the same type. Also, introduce his information, list how to acquire Hamilton, and give some suggestions on pairing the general.

General Story

On North American soil rich in liberty and democracy, Alexander Hamilton rose as both a brilliant soldier and a trenchant writer, shaping the young nation with sweeping vision and administrative genius.
A leading patriot from his youth, he plunged into the Revolution, rallying the call for independence. In battle, he earned repeated distinction, and at Yorktown, he personally led the storming party that secured the decisive victory.
After the war, the republic drifted toward political and fiscal chaos. Hamilton’s financial acuity and constitutional insight steadied the ship: as the first Secretary of the Treasury, he created the national bank, restored public credit, and laid the groundwork for American power.
He built a nation through ideas and turned institutions into lasting faith. His footsteps still echo across the land of freedom, and his spirit endures beneath the Stars and Stripes.

  • As for ground troop attack, Alexander Hamilton is the best.
  • For ground troop HP, Hamilton is not as good as Maria Carolina but better than Charles V.
  • For ground troop defense, Hamilton is slightly inferior to Charles but much better than Carolina.
  • For march size capacity, Hamilton is the best as the main general, but not as good as Carolina as the assistant general.
In addition, Alexander Hamilton and Charles V’s buffs are mostly effective only when attacking, and are more suitable for leading infantry formations that are mainly used for attacking. Maria Carolina’s buff can be effective when leading the army, and can be used for reinforcements and many other purposes.

How to Pair Alexander Hamilton with Other Generals?

Examples of generals that can be paired with this:
  • Maria Carolina
  • Charles Ⅴ
  • Narcissus
  • Lucilla
  • Suchet
  • Miltiades
  • Zhang Fei
  • Lu Xun
  • Frigg
  • Alessandra
  • Totila
  • Sweyn Forkbeard
  • Pyrrhus
  • Maeda Toshiie
Examples of generals that don’t pair well with it:
  • Ludwig
  • Basil Ⅱ

The Most Awesome Combinations:

Theoretically, the following combinations are perfect at improving ground troops’ attack, defense, and HP. Besides, we compared these combinations in key dimensions based on the buff values that can be effective when their special skills and specialties reach maximum levels.
  1. Alexander Hamilton & Maria Carolina (Has nice attack and HP buffs, and a nice boost to march size.)
  2. Alexander Hamilton & Lucilla (Similar attack and march size gains as the 1st partners; better defense gains than them, but lower HP gains.)
  3. Alexander Hamilton & Charles V (The bonus to attack and defense is the best among the 5 groups, but the bonus to HP is slightly lower.)
  4. Charles V & Alexander Hamilton (Has good attack and defense bonuses, but the HP bonus is the lowest among the 5 groups, and the march size bonus is also slightly inferior.)
  5. Alexander Hamilton & Narcissus (The gain to HP is the best, the gain to defense is also good, but the gain to march size and attack is the least among the 5 combinations.) (Taking into account Narcissus’ skin buffs)
Considering the practical application, we do not recommend Alexander Hamilton as an assistant general, because he needs to carry a dragon or spiritual beast to make his special skill effective, but the buffs of dragons and spiritual beasts will not take effect on assistant generals.

Suitable Skill Books:

There are a total of 6 skill books available for the main general and deputy general. The recommended skill books are as follows.
  • Ranged Troop Attack
  • Ranged Troop Range Bonus
  • Ranged Troop HP
  • Ranged Troop Defense
  • March Size
  • March Speed
