Maarten Tromp – Details

Is Maarten Tromp a good general in Evony?

Maarten Tromp has a stacked Special Skill which boosts both his Ranged Troops and Siege Machines making him an excellent choice for marches containing both of these. He is also quite unique in that part of the buff from his Special Skill is only active during Server War. However even before his Server War buff is applied, he is still easily one of the Best Ranged Generals and Best Siege Generals.

In particular, his Special Skill, Naval Battles, buffs Ranged Troop and Siege Machine attack by 35%. In addition, when attacking during Server War, it buffs his Ranged Troops attack and defense by a further 20%. However, it should be noted that these are only active during attack and you should avoid setting him as your Defense General.

Maarten Tromp – Builds

The below builds outline which skill books and equipment refines you should use depending on your requirements.

Ranged PvP

This build is ideal for players who are very range heavy. It sacrifices everything in favor of ranged attack whilst also topping up ranged troop HP and Defense via equipment refines. This build will ensure you do maximum damage, especially in the early game when players are quite mounted heavy.

• Lvl 4 Ranged Troop Attack – Ranged Attack +25%

Siege and Ranged PvP

Due to this general’s buff to both ranged troops and siege machines, it can be a good play to run a mixed march with both troop types in certain scenarios. This build will work well for these situations. Siege range is prioritized over siege attack as siege attack is already very high with the additional range giving you some extra attacks before the enemy has you in their range.
