The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (also known as the Battle of Chalons), fought in modern-day France in 451, marked the peak of Roman general Flavius Aetius’s career. His victory over Attila the Hun forced Attila to retreat and never again attack Rome. This historic battle is now featured in the game Evony: The King’s Return as a large-scale battlefield involving four alliances per group. This guide will explain the battlefield rules, scoring, rewards, and offer tactical suggestions.
Battlefield Key Rules Overview
1. Eligibility requirements:
Alliances that rank in the top 256 in the Constantinople Ultimate War Season (big BOC) will enter the Major League of Battle of Chalons; alliances ranked 257 to 1280 will enter the Elite League; the rest of the alliances will enter the Junior League.
Only players of the Major League are eligible to win the following luxurious prizes, taking Season 11 as an example.
-
- Cultural Subordinate City Key (Sumer Famous City in Season 11 Battle of Chalons)
- Epic Avatar Frame (Gear Master in Season 11)
- Alliance Glory Castle (Loulan in Season 11)
- Mythical Alliance Flag (Season 11 – Manjusaka Flag, Yatagarasu Flag, Ammit Flag, and Unicorn Flag)
2. Results settlement:
Currently, the Battle of Sharon is divided into 6 continents according to the server order, and each continent has its own independent results.
The 4 alliances enter the same battlefield at the same time, and after the battle, they are ranked according to battlefield scores.
3. Competition and appointment:
Alliances in the Major League will automatically participate, but R5 or R4 still need to appoint members to participate.
Alliances in the other two leagues, R5 or R4, need to register and appoint members.
R5 or R4 can only appoint members who have joined the alliance for more than 3 days and whose main city level is more than Lv15.
4. Competition stages and promotion mechanism:
The first 4 rounds of Battle of Chalons are the Honor Ranking stage, the 5th round is the Promotion stage, the 6th round is the Semifinal and the 7th round is the Final.
After the 4-round Honor Ranking stages, we will be ranked based on the total score of the 4 rounds. Only the top 64 in the Major League will be eligible to participate in the promotion stage.
After the promotion stage, the top 1 alliance will compete in the semifinals of top 1-16, the top 2 will compete in the semifinals of top 17-32, the top 3 will compete in the semifinals of top 33-48, and the top 4 will compete in the semifinals of top 49-64.
In the final stage, similar logic to the semi-finals, the alliances of the same level in the semifinals will be matched.

The higher the alliance ranking, the more members in the alliance can obtain a sub-city.

Alliance Tactics
The most interesting part of the big campaign in Evony: the King’s Return is that it requires the division and cooperation of Alliance members. The Battle of Chalons was different from the Battles of Gaugamela and Constantinople in that four Alliances entered the same battlefield for a melee. The four Alliances must have different powers, so we recommend corresponding tactics for both weak Alliances and stronger Alliances.
The strategy for weak alliances
If your alliance is weak, you may feel besieged. Please don’t panic; we recommend the following strategies.
1. For killing troops
Weak alliances can arrange for members to attack other Alliances’ weak and scattered castles first to earn scores for killing troops (make sure there are troops in those castles).
2. For defending & occupying buildings
First, try to leave no troops in your castles. Bunker is disabled in the battle of Chalons, but it does not mean there are no other ways to hide troops. You can launch a 60-minute rally Boss to keep soldiers in a rally mode to avoid being attacked. Rallies can be called off at any time.
Secondly, when gaining Building Scores, once you occupy or rob a building successfully, you can let your troops return and try not to stay too long to avoid being killed. To earn enough scores, you can capture buildings repeatedly on the battlefield to consume the patience of strong Alliances.
3. For attacking boss monsters
When your Alliance becomes a target, try to disperse the Alliance members rather than concentrate together. You can ask Alliance members to attack the boss alone.
The strategy for strong alliances
If your Alliance is strong, be careful not to be sneak attacked by an equal Alliance. In this regard, our suggestions are as follows.
1. For killing troops
Directly launch rallies to attack the middle and strong castles in other Alliances.
2. For defending & occupying buildings
To prevent an enemy alliance from launching a surprise attack with hidden troops, you can arrange for weaker castles in your Alliance to spread out a small number of troops to occupy buildings, while stronger castles send troops to reinforce weaker castles.
There is no need to worry if occupied buildings are not looted. However, if an occupied building is attacked, you can ask stronger castles to send troops to reinforce the building. This will protect the troops and keep the scores.
3. For attacking boss monsters
Members of a strong Alliance who participate in the Battle of Chalons are usually strong enough to attack the boss still alone.
