In the world of Evony, various types of Generals excel in different roles. For instance, Generals who have enhancements in Siege Machines through their Special Skills and Specialties are particularly effective at leading Siege Machine units. These machines are not just formidable in attack but also vital for defending the main city. Additionally, their substantial carrying capacity makes them excellent for resource gathering.

The best combinations of Siege Machine Generals:
Based on the combinations in the above table, and considering the conflict between Skill Books and Special Skills, we calculated the strongest combination as follows.
-
If you choose Petronas as the Main General, the best Assistant General is Ramesses Ⅱ.
-
If you choose Septimius Severus or Surena as the Main General, the best Assistant General is Petronas.
-
If you choose Ramesses Ⅱ, Matthias, or Napoleon as the Main General, the best Assistant General is Septimius Severus.
If you do not have these Generals, you can choose your own combinations of Main and Assistant Generals, but you need to be aware of skill conflicts. Particularly, some generals' special skills may conflict with some skill books. For example, the Special Skill of Septimius Severus will conflict with the Siege Machine Attack Skill Book. In this case, when Petronas is the Main General and Septimius Severus is the Assistant General, both the two Generals can not use the Siege Machine Attack Skill Book. As a result, the attack of this combination will be lower than Petronas + Ramesses Ⅱ because the latter two will not conflict with that Skill Book.
