Simeon the Great, also known as Simeon I, was an emperor of the first Bulgarian empire who ruled during a period of cultural prosperity and enlightenment, known as the Golden Age of Bulgarian culture. This article will introduce Simeon's story, special skill, and specialty, as well as provide information on how to obtain him in the game Evony.
Simeon's Story
Simeon became the Bulgarian emperor in 893 with a clear goal of obtaining the crown of the Roman emperor. In 917, he led an invasion of the Byzantine Empire with 60,000 troops and achieved victory in the Battle of Achelous. Although he was unable to break through the walls of Constantinople, Simeon and his army managed to shred the dignity of the Byzantine Empire by sweeping through their territory. Over the following five years, Simeon launched four more invasions of Constantinople, ultimately declaring himself Emperor of the Romans and Bulgarians in 925.
Simeon's Special Skill
Simeon's special skill in Evony is Empire Offensive, which increases ranged troops and siege machines' attack by 20% when he leads an army to attack. The skill also increases ranged troops' attack by an additional 15% when Simeon brings any dragon. As an awakened general, Simeon's special skill can be upgraded through General Ascending, with each star adding a new skill.
