Evony General Daniel Morgan Guide: Skills, Buffs & Best Pairings

Daniel Morgan, the legendary commander of the Continental Army’s sharpshooters, joins the world of Evony as an Epic Historic General. Specializing in Siege Machine leadership, Morgan is a formidable addition to any arsenal. Read on to discover his strengths, optimal utility, acquisition methods, and recommended General pairings.

The Legend of Daniel Morgan

Daniel Morgan was one of the Continental Army's most celebrated battlefield tacticians. Long before the revolution, he was a rugged laborer and wagoner who built a successful transport enterprise. When the American Revolutionary War broke out, the rough-hewn Morgan—still bearing the scars of a brutal British military flogging—raised a company of marksmen to fight for the cause.

Morgan’s notoriety grew with the formation of his elite rifle company, famously known as "Morgan's Riflemen." These frontier sharpshooters were masters of reconnaissance and guerrilla tactics, engaging the enemy from distances far beyond the reach of standard infantry. Morgan utilized these specialists to pick off British officers, effectively crippling enemy command structures from the shadows.

Morgan’s tactical genius culminated at the Battle of Cowpens. He orchestrated a brilliant feigned retreat, ordering his militia to fire two volleys before falling back to lure the British into a lethal trap. As the disciplined Continentals held the center and cavalry hammered the flanks, the British forces were shattered.

Following the war, Morgan retired to Virginia and was honored with a Congressional Gold Medal for his decisive victory. Today, his legacy endures in the countless towns and military sites across the United States that proudly bear his name.

Daniel Morgan VS. Hersilia / Shapur I

In the table below, we only count the gain effects that can be applied to siege machines, and we simplify siege machine attack, siege machine defense, siege machine HP, and march size capacity to SA, SD, SHP, and MSC, respectively. (Data unit in the table: %)

The comparison in the table above shows that Daniel Morgan’s strengths as a main general lie in defense and march size capacity, while his siege attack buffs are slightly weaker than those of other generals. However, as an assistant general, his attack buffs stand out as the strongest. In addition, his improvements to siege defense and march size capacity are equally notable when serving in the assistant role.

Therefore, if you are looking for a general to replace Hersilia, Daniel is a strong option, providing solid attack and defense buffs while also being relatively easy to obtain at this stage. On the other hand, if your priority is maximizing siege machine HP, Shapur I remains the better choice.
