On the 18th of April, 2025, Evony updated to version 4.97, and with it came some key changes to the game, as well as two new generals – James Cook and Roger II.
Updates
- City of Throne Improvement – Fixed display issue in Award Logs, and fixed UI errors that occurred when viewing City of Throne buildings on enemy server during SVS
- Adv Royal Waybill Update – Added a batch attach option, allowing you to add multiple items as attachments with one tap. A much needed update, especially for those of you running alt accounts and needing to send mass amounts of stamina across!
- Academy Research Feature Optimization – Allows you to select a level, and automatically research to that level at once. UI has changed for progression indication – there is now an overall progress percentage for each tech category
- Rally Monthly Card Early Renewal – You can now renew the rally card before it runs out, extending the card by a further 30 days
Events
On the whole, no new events came with this update, just a refresh of the older ones. One notable addition however, was the introduction of “Duneyrr” – the latest Spiritual Beast to be added to Evony.
New Spiritual Beast – Duneyrr
To unlock the Duneyrr, you must redeem the “Life Dewdrop” in the Forest Deer Event. This can be gained at a cost of 800 Spiritual Beast scales.
At level 20, the Duneyrr Spiritual Beast has the following attributes:
- Mounted Troop Attack +104%
- Ground Troop HP +104%
- Enemy Mounted Troop HP -52%
- When defending the Main City, Enemy Ground Troop HP -104%
New Generals – James Cook & Roger II
With Evony 4.97, two new generals were added to the game – Ranged general James Cook, and Workshop Duty general Roger II.
James Cook
James Cook is a European Ranged general. This new general is not compatible with a ranged attack book, and is honestly a bit underwhelming. The real potential for James Cook though comes in as an assistant general, due to his massive march size increase (18%) when an assistant.

Roger II
Roger II is a European Workshop Duty General. This general both increases siege machines attack and defense when in rally, whilst also reducing enemy ranged troops defense, and siege machines attack and HP.
