Written by Sherry Sun | Mar 18, 2026 8:56:20 AM

Evony 2026 St. Patrick's Day launches some limited generals, decorations (castle skin and march effect), a special attack effect, and brings back some popular old rare items during the events. This guide will help you understand their attributes and how to play related activities.

Evony 2026 St. Patrick's Day Limited Generals

Vercingetorix

Increases ground troops' attack and defense by 60% and increases ground troops and mounted troops' HP by 40% when the general is leading the army to attack. You can get the general through the Revelry Carnival event of Evony's 2026 St. Patrick's Day. During the event, you can use 720 Emerald Brooches to redeem Vercingetorix's general token once. It can be redeemed up to 16 times.

Hugh O'Donnell

Increases crafting speed and ranged troops' attack by 15% and reduces enemy ranged troops and siege machines' defense and HP by 15% when the general is the Forge Officer. The general is available at Level 10 of the Party Cake in the King’s Party event during the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day event.

Tishtrya

Increases mounted troops' attack and HP by 60%, and ground troops and mounted troops' defense by 40% when the general is leading the army to attack. This is Tishtrya's first appearance, but he can still be efficiently obtained through the Historic General Summoning event this time. The necessary summoning items can be obtained by purchasing the tier 5 festival package.

Ulster Cycle Monarch Images


Evony releases new monarch images, Courage of Ulster and Wisdom of Ulster, during the 2026 St. Patrick's Day events. Purchase the Ulster Cycle package, and you will receive the Ulster Cycle Monarch Image Chest. Open it to select either Courage of Ulster or Wisdom of Ulster. You can gift the chest to other players. If you select a duplicate Monarch Image, you will receive alternative rewards.

Decoration Collection - Irish Adventure

You can unlock Irish Adventure when you collect the Castle - Emerald Crown and March Effect - Leprechaun. Emerald Crown is in the Lost Castle Decoration Chest; Leprechaun is in the Lost March Effect Chest. Both can be obtained through the Lost Treasures Event. So, how do you get the Lost Castle Decoration Chest and the Lost March Effect Chest? First, earn Golden Compasses by gathering resources, killing monsters, buying Golden Star to claim daily compasses rewards, and purchasing packages (Legendary Explorer's Gift and Treasure Searching Sale) [Note: You can get up to 3 golden compasses per day from resource spots and 7 golden compasses per day from monsters.]Then, choose an Lv1 treasure and consume golden compasses to explore for it. After finding it, choose the next treasure for the current level. You can only unlock the next level after finding all the treasures for the current level. At levels 2 and 5, you can obtain the Lost Treasure Chest (90 in total). In addition, you can acquire more chests from golden compass conversions and the event packages. Opening the chest will give you a chance to receive the Lost March Effect Chest (it is guaranteed within 280 openings). Moreover, you can obtain 5, 10, and 15 Lost Treasure Fragments from levels 5, 8, and 10, respectively, for a total of 30 fragments. Use all 30 fragments to craft one Lost Castle Decoration Chest.
