Use the two official views for different questions. Evony's FAQ says Monarch Detail shows March Size without Generals, while the Rally Spot or the send-troops screen shows March Size with Generals. Check the second value for the march you are actually about to launch. Official source: Evony FAQ.
Why the numbers can differ
The Monarch Detail value is a base account view. The Rally Spot or dispatch view evaluates the selected march context. A difference is not automatically an error; it can be evidence that the chosen General or march setup changes capacity.
Pre-PvP verification workflow
Record the base value
Open Avatar, choose Detail and scroll to March Size. Save the number and time. This becomes the baseline for comparison.
Build the intended march
Open Rally Spot or the troop-sending interface. Select the exact lead and assistant General, preset and troop composition intended for the operation.
Read the usable capacity
Record the capacity shown with the Generals selected. Do not substitute the Monarch Detail number when calculating the launch.
Test one variable at a time
If the result is unexpected, change only the lead General, assistant, preset or relevant equipment state, then reopen the view. A one-variable test identifies the source of the difference.
Practical decision example
If Monarch Detail shows a lower base value but the prepared march shows a higher capacity, plan troop layers and main payload from the dispatch value for that exact setup. Keep the base number for account-level progress tracking.
Common mistakes
- Comparing a base value with a fully configured march as if both should match.
- Checking one preset and launching another.
- Changing several Generals and equipment pieces at once.
- Filling capacity without reserving required troop layers.
- Using total troop count as a synonym for March Size.
FAQs
Where is base March Size shown?
The official FAQ points to Avatar, Detail, then the March Size entry.
Where can I see March Size with Generals?
Use the Rally Spot or the troop-sending interface.
Which value should I use for a launch?
Use the value shown for the exact configured march you will send.
Does a higher capacity guarantee better PvP results?
No. Capacity does not replace troop composition, buffs, target analysis or battle reports.
