Why and How to Become King or Queen in Evony

Last updated on March 5th, 2025

National leaders possess honor and power, but also bear significant responsibilities. Evony strives to recreate this ecological environment. Players can easily experience the role of a national leader within the game. When a player’s city is powerful enough, they can compete for the throne. Upon becoming King or Queen, players gain numerous benefits. Simultaneously, they must also shoulder the responsibility of fostering national harmony. For no one desires an irresponsible leader. Read this article to learn how to become King or Queen, and the associated advantages and duties.

How to Become a King or Queen of the Server?

In the City of Throne War, the alliance that successfully occupies the City of Throne for 5 hours will crown their R5 as King or Queen. This war typically occurs every weekend. However, players can launch the first City of Throne War anytime on a server where the feature is enabled. To capture the City of Throne, they must first defeat the defending NPC troops. If a player becomes King or Queen before the weekend, the game delays the City of Throne War until the following weekend. Occupying Magic Tower, Throne Tower, and Hero Tower provides different advantages in capturing the City of Throne.

Magic Tower: Occupy for a certain amount of time to reduce your Alliance’s City of Throne occupying time or increase the enemy’s City of Throne occupying time. And increases the whole Alliance’s Healing Speed by 25%
Throne Tower: Once it is occupied, it attacks the enemy troops in the City of Throne in 180 seconds and will continue to attack them once every 300 seconds.
Hero Tower: Increases the occupier’s Hospital Capacity by 80%; increases the occupier’s March Size to City of Throne, Magic Tower, and Throne Tower by 600,000; increases the Whole Alliance’s Healing Speed by 25%.

Magic Tower, Throne Tower, and Hero Tower

NOTES:

Players can not use bubbles (Truce Agreement) when they enter the forest area around the City of Throne.
Players can not use bubbles once they are occupying Magic Tower, Throne Tower, and Hero Tower.
If your main city defense fails in the forest area, you will be driven out of the forest immediately and move to a random location. Troops you have previously sent abroad will also immediately return to the city.
The reinforcement capacity of the City of Throne depends on the occupier’s Embassy, but there is no restriction when they rally to enter the City of Throne.

In addition to becoming the King or Queen of their own server, players can also occupy the City of Throne of the enemy server during SvS and become the Conqueror of the opponent.

After the end of the City of Throne War, the City of Throne will enter a protected state until a new Wartime is invoked. During this time, the King or Queen can exercise his or her rights and perform his or her duties.

The Rights and Duties of a King or Queen

The King and Queen can manage their server on the City of Throne.

Manage：

Award – Players who become the King or Queen will receive a King’s Package, and can send award packages to others. The award packages include: Senior Award Package ×15；Medium Award Package ×20；Junior Award Package ×30
Mail from the King – The King or Queen can send mail to the top 100 Alliance R5 and R4. The King or Queen can announce new rules in the mail, give advice on how to develop, and so on.
Transfer King – Occupiers can transfer King or Queen to other allies while they are occupying the City of Throne in order to avoid being attacked. Because the one who is occupying the City of Throne can not use the bubble (Truce Agreement). [PS: No matter who the King/Queen is transferred to or how many people are transferred, the one who eventually becomes the King/Queen can only be the R5 member of the alliance where the occupier belongs. Therefore, if you want to become the King/Queen, you need to become R5 before the end of the City of Throne War.]
Empire name – The King or Queen can name the Empire as he or she wishes, and the Empire name will be displayed in the Server List on the World Map.
Architecture – The King or Queen can change the flag and the outlook of the Empire, choosing from any of the 7 Civilizations. The Empire’s flag and outlook will also be displayed on the World Map – Server List page.
