Separate the October 23 announcement from the event screen
Evony announced the Halloween lineup on October 23, 2026. It confirms the Historic General Summoning Event, the Revelry Carnival, Voyage to Civilizations and the Shadow of the Night Bat Event. The announcement does not publish one shared end date, regional package prices, summon odds or a complete exchange table. Check each live event page before spending or saving a limited item for tomorrow.
Constantine XI is a mounted attacker, not a universal replacement
Two current specialist databases agree on the same main skill: when Constantine XI leads an attacking army, mounted attack and defence rise by 65%, and mounted HP rises by 50%. The wording is attack-only. It does not make him a wall, reinforcement or duty General. Both databases also list Alfred the Great, John Hunyadi and Charles V as Covenant partners, so the final account cost is larger than one gold portrait.
The official announcement says the fifth event package offers a chance at Constantine XI and the summoning event raises his chance. It also promises a guaranteed reward within every six summons. It does not explicitly say that the guaranteed reward is Constantine XI. Before replacing a developed mounted lead, compare current copies, Covenant partners, specialties, red stars, compatible assistant and march size. A stronger undeveloped portrait remains an expensive thumbnail.
The new sheet changes the comparison, not the role
Theria’s Constantine XI sheet, published October 25, independently matches the existing skill, ascension and Covenant data and supplies the complete four-Specialty ladder. Using those listed lines, the attack march reaches mounted attack/defence/HP of 160%/125%/120% from the main skill plus maxed Specialties. A fully activated Covenant raises that staged total to 185%/143%/145%, adds 10% March Size Capacity and a global 10% mounted training-speed line.
Five red stars then add another 95% mounted attack, 85% defence, 40% HP and 12% March Size Capacity, plus 8% attacking death-to-wounded. The resulting listed attacking package is 280%/228%/185% with 22% March Size Capacity before General attributes, equipment, refines, assistant, creature and research. That is editorial addition of specialist-published lines, not an official combat formula.
Compare the next stage, not the finished portrait. If Constantine only beats the developed lead after Covenant partners or several red stars that the account cannot supply, the useful upgrade is not available yet. One copy opens a project; it does not quietly complete one. Check every live Specialty, Covenant and ascension line before consuming materials, because the client outranks this ledger.
Camazotz has two general lines and two defending lines
Evony publishes Camazotz’s level-20 attributes as ranged HP +104%, enemy ground attack -104%, and, when defending, enemy mounted defence and HP -104% each. The condition appears only on the last two lines. Do not rewrite all four as defence-only, and do not assume the first two work from every assignment without checking the live report and current beast screen.
That profile is most interesting for a ranged defence facing mounted pressure, or for a debuff slot where enemy ground attack matters. Compare it with the exact equipped beast or dragon it would displace. The useful question is the net change across the whole role, not whether four percentages look impressive in a row. Four percentages usually do. They have rehearsed.
Use the free carnival route without pricing the headline reward
The official route gives Parade Masks from Resource Spots, Monsters and Daily Login rewards. Party Invitations also exist through packages. Those items feed Celebration Badges and Emerald Brooches for the exchange shop. Current specialist guidance separates free Parade Mask progression from premium Emerald Brooch rewards and warns that reaching Celebration Level 20 does not make the featured General free.
- Collect the free masks early enough to finish the required gathering returns and monster kills. A march still outside the city is scenery, not a claimed reward.
- Open the exchange before using limited currency. Confirm today’s prices, limits and whether the desired reward uses Celebration Badges, Emerald Brooches or both.
- Spend or deliberately abandon event currency before the event screen closes. The official announcement separately confirms that unused Golden Ship Wheels become Voyage Chests, but it gives no matching conversion promise for every carnival item.
Apply one stop rule to three different decisions
- Constantine XI: stop before packages or summons unless the attack march, copies and partner roster justify a full rebuild. Do not buy around an unspecified guarantee.
- Camazotz: stop after the Nether Bat Seal if the account lacks the development materials or a better assignment than its current beast. Unlocking and finishing are different hobbies.
- Revelry Carnival: take free progression first. Price a premium exchange only from the live shop, current regional package and coupons actually available to the account.
The event has useful free activity and potentially useful premium pieces. It does not turn every new object into the next account priority. First assign the role. Then count what changes. The pumpkin may remain decorative.
Evidence limits
Official material confirms the October 23 release, acquisition routes described above, Camazotz’s four level-20 lines, free Parade Mask sources and Golden Ship Wheel conversion. Constantine XI’s skill, Covenant partners and development details come from two current specialist databases, not a complete official General sheet. Specialist carnival guidance is supporting evidence, not Kat’s independent purchase test. Event times, odds, prices, exchange limits and live client wording can differ by server or region and take priority.
