Miltiades’s Background
In ancient Greece’s illustrious history, one hero stands out. His family claimed descent from the legendary Achilles. His lineage endowed him with a fierce desire for victory and glory. This hero was none other than Miltiades, the esteemed general and statesman of Athens.
In 490 BC, on the plains of Marathon, the Persian king sent a vast army to conquer Athens. Despite being outnumbered, Miltiades masterfully used the terrain, forming an impenetrable Greek phalanx. The Persians, though numerous and well-equipped, lost their advantage in the chaos. At the crucial moment, Miltiades executed a brilliant flanking maneuver, crushing the Persian forces and achieving a miraculous victory. This triumph not only stopped the Persian invasion but also unified the Greek city-states. The marathon race commemorates this legendary victory.

General Comparison and Suggested Combinations
To judge the strength of General Miltiades, I compared him with two recent generals of the same category, Totila and Suchet. See the tables below for details.
Main General | GA | GD | GHP |
|---|---|---|---|
Miltiades | 170 | 120 | 140 |
Totila | 165 | 135 | 120 |
Suchet | 176 | 80 | 165 |
Assistant General | GA | GD | GHP |
|---|---|---|---|
Miltiades | 115 | 100 | 85 |
Totila | 115 | 90 | 100 |
Suchet | 126 | 65 | 95 |
Based on the above data, these three generals have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are all powerful infantry generals in Evony so far. To better use Miltiades, I have sorted out the relevant general combinations’ data and given the recommended combinations in the table below.
Main General | Assistant General | Ground Troop Attack | Ground Troop Defense | Ground Troop HP | March Size Capacity | Ground Troop Attack Skill Book |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Suchet | Miltiades | +291 | +170 | +265 | +27 | √ |
Totila | Miltiades | +280 | +225 | +220 | +22 | √ |
Miltiades | Suchet | +296 | +185 | +215 | +25 | √ |
Totila | +285 | +220 | +225 | +20 | √ | |
Ludwig | +270 | +190 | +200 | +25 | √ | |
Lu Xun | +275 | +205 | +190 | +14 | √ | |
Pyrrhus | +260 | +190 | +190 | +20 | √ | |
Aurelian | +265 | +140 | +225 | +14 | √ | |
Alessandra | +250 | +140 | +220 | +22 | √ | |
Frigg | +255 | +205 | +235 | +14 | × |
In addition to the above combinations, Miltiades can also be combined with many generals, such as Elise, Hannibal, Scipio Africanus, Maeda Toshiie, Soult, Basil II, Trajan, Alexander the Great, etc. Among them, Soult conflicts with the ground troop attack skill book.
However, Miltiades can not match with Turenne and Sweyn Forkbeard because their special skills conflict.
