Epic Historic General André Masséna Arrives in Evony

Evony welcomes the renowned André Masséna, a legendary figure of the Napoleonic Wars, as an Epic Historic General during the Evony × Napoleon Collaboration event. This esteemed mounted-troop leader presents a compelling opportunity for players seeking to enhance their military strategies.

In 1799, French commander André Masséna faced a critical challenge: the Second Coalition, a formidable force of 90,000 Russo-Austrian troops poised against his 70,000 French soldiers. Undeterred, Masséna demonstrated exceptional military foresight by devising a brilliant strategy to defeat the enemy:

Divide and conquer: He divided his army into smaller, more agile detachments, enabling swift maneuvers and surprise attacks.
Nighttime advantage: He utilized the cover of darkness and river passages to launch unexpected assaults on enemy positions.
Leading the charge: He personally led elite troops in a daring attack on the strategically crucial Zurich Fortress.

These ingenious tactics rendered the enemy's numerical superiority meaningless. The French army gained a decisive offensive advantage, forcing the Russo-Austrian forces into a chaotic retreat. This victory at Zurich not only secured the battlefield for France but also compelled Russia to withdraw from the Anti-French Coalition, solidifying Masséna's reputation as a master strategist.

Throughout his career, Masséna earned countless accolades for his contributions to the French Empire. His unparalleled command and tactical brilliance earned him the nickname “Child of Victory” from Emperor Napoleon himself. Today, he remains revered as one of the most outstanding generals of the Napoleonic Wars.
