Marcus Agrippa is a powerful leader of ranged troops in Evony. This article explores his background, special skills, specialties, covenant bonuses, how to obtain him, and the best general combinations for maximizing his potential.
Agrippa’s Naval Victory: A Turning Point for Rome
In the 1st century BC, following the successful siege of the naval port of Myos Hormos in the Ionian Sea, Roman consul Marcus Agrippa ordered his fleet to set sail immediately for the Gulf of Actium, abandoning their spoils. Their urgent mission was to assist allies in the final, decisive battle of the Roman Civil War.
To expedite their intervention, Agrippa led a fleet of swift vessels to the battlefield, where they confronted the largest armada in Roman history. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Agrippa skillfully used the speed and maneuverability of his lighter ships to evade enemy attacks. His fleet pressed on, closing in on the enemy’s formidable warships, launching volleys of arrows and hurling massive stones that caused devastating damage.
Thanks to Agrippa’s expert naval command and strategic brilliance, his fleet decisively routed the opposition, securing a monumental victory in the grandest naval battle the Roman world had witnessed in two centuries.
Agrippa’s legacy extends far beyond his military prowess and crucial role in the rise of the Roman Empire. He was also a renowned builder and innovator, most notably as the architect of the Pantheon—an enduring symbol of his influence and ingenuity.
