Cultivate Generals
Roll one general's Leadership, Attack, Defense and Politics with gold.
- What it does
- Cultivates one general with gold. After each roll it reads the new numbers and keeps or cancels the roll. The stats you chase climb toward the gold cap of about 300.
- Where
- Plan task: Duties ▸ Tasks ▸ Add to plan ▸ Cultivate Generals, with its settings on Task setup ▸ Cultivate Generals. Daily activity: Duties ▸ Daily activities ▸ General enhancing, the game's own name for it. The two keep separate settings.
- You need
- For Pick from list: generals scanned into Generals, and gold, because every roll costs gold. For On-screen general: that general's Cultivate window open in the game. Neither needs a mapped building.
- When it runs
- Plan task: it spends its Max cultivations a few visits at a time, as its timing window says. That total never refills. Daily activity: once a game day, up to its own Max cultivations. Use one of them, not both.
Cultivation rolls a general's four bonuses at random. Evonex rolls with gold, reads the result, and keeps only the rolls that bring your chosen stats closer to level near the cap.
Set it up
- Scan your generals into Resources ▸ Generals if you have not yet. See Generals.
- Open your instance, go to Task setup and click the Cultivate Generals card.
- Switch the toggle to Pick from list. The plan task starts on On-screen general.
- Under Focus these stats, choose the stats to chase. All is a good start.
- Set the three filters next to Generals. They say where that general sits in the game: its category, List or Detail, and favorite or idle.
- Click the general's tile to pick it. Set Max cultivations. Click Save changes.
- Go to Duties ▸ Tasks and click Cultivate Generals under Add to plan.
- Press Start if the instance is not running yet. Nothing runs until it is.

With On-screen general, Evonex never starts on its own. The plan row reads waits for you: it cultivates whichever general is already on your screen. You open the Cultivate window in the game first. Most people want Pick from list.
To use the daily activity instead, switch General enhancing on under Duties ▸ Daily activities and click its name. Its Task setup tab holds the same form. It starts on Pick from list, with no general picked, so pick one before you switch it on.

Settings
On-screen general | Pick from list
A switch. On the left, On-screen general: Evonex cultivates whichever general's Cultivate window is already open in the game, and goes nowhere. On the right, Pick from list: Evonex opens the general you pick below and cultivates it. Default: On-screen general for the plan task, Pick from list for the daily activity.
Max cultivations
How many times Evonex rolls. Use − and +, or click the number and type. The range is 1 to 999, in steps of 5. For the plan task this is the total number of rolls, spread over visits by its timing window. For the daily activity it is the number of rolls in each turn. Default: 50 for the plan task, 5 for the daily activity.
Focus these stats
The buttons All, Leadership, Attack, Defense and Politics. A check means the stat is chased. A dot means it still rolls, but Evonex does not chase it. All turns every stat on or off. With none chosen, Evonex cultivates blind and keeps every roll. A line under the buttons says what you chase. Default: All.
All categories
The first filter next to Generals: all categories, Military, Development, Duty or Subordinate City. Set it to where the general sits in the game. It does not pick a general.
List | Detail
The second filter. Which view of the Generals window Evonex uses to find the general. Set it to the view you use in the game.
No filter
The third filter. Tick Favorite, Idle or both, the same as the filters you use in the game.
Search generals…
Filters the tiles by name. It does not pick anyone.
General tiles

Choose how fast it works
Click the plan task's name on its row in Duties ▸ Tasks. A window named after the task opens. It has the three blocks every plan task has, and it adds Finish it and a goal, because this task works through a set amount.
- 1Status line Says where the task stands, for example that it goes next.
- 2Finish it Chooses how fast the task works through its goal.
- 3At most … at a time Sets the most rolls in one visit. It is hidden under All in one go.

Days · When it may run · Daily limit
The same three blocks as on Tavern Recruit. Defaults: every day, any time, no limit.
Finish it
How fast the task works through its goal. All in one go does everything in one visit, and the visit holds the screen until it is done. Today spreads the work over the rest of the game day. Within a week spreads it over a week. By a date you pick. Default: Today.
At most … at a time
The most rolls in one visit. It is hidden under All in one go. Default: 50.
Goal
The total number of rolls, taken from Max cultivations on the form. Edit in Task setup takes you there. The bar shows progress, such as 120/700.
Reset progress
Sets the progress bar back to zero.
Reset to default
Clears your changes and goes back to the task's own timing. It is grayed out when there is nothing to clear.
Done
Saves and closes the window.
The daily activity's own controls
Reset task settings
Puts the daily activity's settings back to the shipped ones: Pick from list, all stats, 5 times, and no general picked. You confirm first, and the window closes. The Schedule tab is not affected.
Schedule tab
The tab has How often, Run before plan tasks, Come back every, Run cap, Retry when it fails and Reset schedule. They work the same on every daily activity. By default it runs Once a day, not before plan tasks, with 3 tries a day. See Daily activities.
Reset records
Forgets what this duty remembers about its own turns: whether it ran today, what it spent and any wait after a failure. It can then take another turn. Nothing in the game changes and your settings stay. The line beside the button says what is recorded, such as Had its turn today.
Done
Saves both tabs and closes the window. The ✕ in the corner, or Esc, closes it without saving.
How it runs
- With Pick from list, Evonex opens the Generals window, finds your general with the filters you set, opens it and taps Cultivate. With On-screen general, it only checks that the Cultivate window is already open.
- It reads the general's stat table first. If it cannot read it, it stops and spends no gold. It never rolls on a board it cannot read.
- Each roll uses gold, on the Cultivate Once tab. Evonex reads the result and keeps it when it brings the stats you chase closer to level near 300. A stat far below 300 counts for more than one that is nearly there. So a leading stat may give up a point or two to lift one behind. Otherwise it cancels the roll.
- With no stat chosen, it keeps every roll.
- It stops in three cases. Every chased stat is near the cap. Or a chased stat is already above what gold can reach, because only gems raise it. Or its share of Max cultivations is used.
- It never uses gems. If the game shows the gem Quick Cultivate tab, Evonex switches back.
- Every roll counts against the budget, however the visit ends.
- With Pick from list, Evonex goes back to the city when it is done. With On-screen general, it leaves the window as it found it.
- The run ends with a line such as Cultivated 50 times — Leadership 212, Attack 208, Defense 205, Politics 191 on Overview.
Every roll costs gold, whether Evonex keeps it or cancels it, and each roll costs more as the stats climb. It never uses gems. The plan task's Max cultivations is a total that never refills. A fresh general needs hundreds of rolls to reach the cap, so a small number covers only part of it.
Problems?
The plan row says waits for you: it cultivates whichever general is already on your screen, or the run says Not on the Cultivate window.
The form is on On-screen general. Switch it to Pick from list and pick a general. Or open that general's Cultivate window in the game before the run starts.
Overview ▸ Needs setup says “Cultivate Generals” needs “cultivate plan” set before it can run.
The form was never saved. Open Task setup ▸ Cultivate Generals, check your choices and click Save changes. Until then, Evonex skips the task.
The run says Pick mode: couldn't open the chosen general and the Cultivate window.
No general is picked, or Evonex could not find it. Check that All categories, List or Detail, and No filter describe where the general sits in the game.
The run says Couldn't read this general's cultivate table.
Something covered the table, or your emulator is not set to 540 × 960 at 120 dpi. No gold was spent.
Why did it cancel a roll that added points?
It favors the stats that are furthest below 300. A roll that lifts a leading stat but lets a lagging one slip is canceled.
The row says Reselect general.
The general you picked has left your Generals list, or has no detector yet. Pick another on the form, or scan it again.
