Philip Sheridan – Details

Is Philip Sheridan a good general in Evony?

Philip Sheridan can be used as both a Mounted PvP General and a Monster Hunting General. This is driven by his Special Skill, Ingenious Army, which increases the Defense of Mounted Troops by 35%. This is great for increasing the survivability of your Mounted Troops in battle and should result in lower losses.

However, as a Purple Historic General, he is really only useful in the early game. He will quickly become redundant as you pick up better Generals and therefore you should not spend too many resources developing him.
