Generals

The generals you own, scanned from the game. Presets and tasks pick from this list.

Where

Resources ▸ Generals.

Use it to

Scan the generals you own, fix their names and remove the ones you do not want.

You need

An emulator with the game running, only to scan. Looking, renaming and deleting need none. Emulator setup shows how to get one ready.

Used by

General presets and Cultivate generals.

The Saved Generals list holds the generals on your own game account. You never type one in. Evonex scans the game’s Generals window and saves each general with its name, rarity and portrait. Presets and tasks then pick from this list, so a general has to be here before you can use it. Nothing on this tab runs by itself: a scan starts only when you click Scan Generals. Every instance shares this list, and a change is saved as soon as you confirm it.

Scan your generals

1. Open your emulator and the game. Wait until your city shows. Close any pop-ups.
2. Stop anything else that uses that emulator. The scan taps and swipes the game itself.
3. Open Resources ▸ Generals and click Scan Generals.
4. Next to Scan from, pick your emulator. If it is not listed, open it first, then click the circular-arrows button. You can also type its port, such as 5555.
5. Leave the other choices as they are to read every Epic and Legendary general. Change them only to read less.
6. Click Scan. Evonex first checks that it can reach the emulator. Then the scan starts in the background.

1. 1Scan from Picks the emulator to read. Choose a detected one, or type its address.
2. 2Re-scan for emulators Looks for emulators again, for example one you just opened.
3. 3Category Picks which tab of the game’s Generals window to read.
4. 4General type Ticks the rarities to save: Epic Historic, Legendary Historic or both.
5. 5Scan filter Turns on the game’s own Favorite or Idle filter before reading.
6. 6Scan Checks that the emulator answers, then starts the scan.

While it runs

• The window stays usable. New cards appear in the list one by one.
• The line under Saved Generals shows what the scan just did, such as a general it added.
• Scan Generals becomes Stop Scanning. Click it to stop. It then reads Stopping… until Evonex finishes the general it is on, so nothing is saved half done.
• When the scan ends, a window lists everything it did. Click OK.

1. 1Summary Counts the generals the scan read, how many it added, how many were already saved and how many it skipped for another rarity.
2. 2Reminder Reminds you that names are read from the screen and can come out wrong.
3. 3Log Lists each step in order, and each general it added or found already saved. Scroll to read all of it.
4. 4OK Closes the window.

The window’s title tells you how the scan ended: Scan complete, Scan stopped (you stopped it, or a step could not be done) or Scan error. An error shows a short message with a reference code. Quote that code if you report a bug.

How the scan works

• It opens the game’s Generals window by itself, from wherever the game is.
• It picks the tab, switches the window to detail mode and sets the filters you chose.
• It reads one general at a time, from the top of the list down.
• It skips a general whose rarity you did not tick, or whose name is already saved. A second scan never adds a duplicate and never changes a card you already have.
• For each new general it saves the name, the portrait and a small recognition picture that Evonex uses to find that general on screen.
• It stops at the end of the list, when you click Stop Scanning, or when a step cannot be done.

Fix a name or a rarity

1. Double-click the name on a card. Type the right name. Press Enter, or click away, to save. Press Esc to undo.
2. To change more, point at the card and click the sliders button, Edit general.

A blank name, or a name another general already has, is refused. The old name comes back. You cannot add a general by hand: scanning is the only way in.

1. 1Name Changes the general’s name. Presets follow the new name.
2. 2Type Switches between Epic Historic and Legendary Historic.
3. 3Awakened Switch it on for a general with the special frame: red for Epic, orange for Legendary.
4. 4Detail mode Shows the portrait with a box around the part Evonex looks for. Drag the box to move it, drag its edge to resize it.
5. 5Reset Puts the box back where it started.
6. 6Vision Lab Opens a tool where you pick the part of the portrait to look for.
7. 7Save Saves your changes and closes the window.

Remove a general

1. Point at the card and click the bin button, Delete general.
2. Confirm in the box that asks Delete “Name”? It will also be removed from any presets.

Delete removes the general, its portrait and its recognition picture. It also takes the general out of every preset that used it. A task that picked the general itself, such as Cultivate generals, shows needs a new pick until you choose another general.

Controls on this tab

With no generals saved, the list says No generals scanned yet. and tells you to run a scan. When your search or filter hides everyone, it says No commanders match your filters.
