General Story
In 98, the governor of Upper Germany Trajan succeeded the Roman emperor.
Trajan is remembered as a successful soldier-emperor who presided over the second-greatest military expansion in Roman history after Augustus, leading the empire to attain its maximum territorial extent by the time of his death. His conquest of Dacia and the Parthian Empire enriched the empire greatly.
He is also known for his philanthropic rule overseeing extensive public building programs and implementing social welfare policies.
Under his rule, Rome entered a long period of prosperity, and all aspects of the empire reached their peak. He was awarded the title of “Optimus princeps” by the Roman Senate.

How to Pair General Trajan
After Evony releases the assistant general feature, we need to consider their combination when using generals.
After testing, it was found that Trajan basically does not conflict with infantry generals whose skill description is “leading the army to attack”.
However, he cannot be paired with infantry generals who also have the “leading the army” attribute, such as Pyrrhus, Robert the Bruce, and Peter the Great.
Considering the cost-effectiveness of developing main generals, our most recommended combinations are Elise + Trajan and Scipio Africanus + Trajan because we can quickly get the general fragments of Elise and Scipio Africanus through VIP premium packages, which will help the main general ascend.
Of course, if you want to use Trajan as the main general of ground troops, it is also very cost-effective because you can get this general without spending any money. You can temporarily use other generals that are not easy to obtain as assistant generals.
In addition, you need to pay attention to the combination of skill books when using them. Trajan’s skills do not conflict with ‘Ground Troop Attack’ skill books, so you only need to consider whether another general can use this skill book in his combinations.
Essential Skill Books:
- Ground Troop Attack
- Ground Troop HP
- Ground Troop Defense
