To remove a Duty General, open Generals, enter the Duty page, switch the list to vertical details mode, and use Resign in the right-hand data column. Evony documents that exact route in its official duty-removal answer. Resigning changes the assignment; it is not the same as dismissing the General from your roster.
When Resigning Is the Right Action
Resign an officer when you need to compare a replacement, free the General for another role, or complete a system action that requires the General to be off duty. Do not remove several officers at once unless you have recorded their buildings and replacements. A vacant post can remove the benefit you were relying on until a suitable General is appointed again.
A Safe Resignation Workflow
- Record the building, current officer, and displayed duty grade.
- Open Generals, then Duty.
- Switch to the vertical details view.
- Find the correct General and confirm the building shown beside the assignment.
- Tap Resign in the right data column.
- Return to the building or Duty list and verify that the post is vacant.
- Appoint the intended replacement, then confirm the displayed benefit.
The broader official Duty General guide explains that duty gains are attached to officers assigned to eligible buildings. That makes the post-assignment check more important than the resignation itself.
Decision Framework
Use three questions before changing an officer:
- Purpose: Is the General needed elsewhere, or are you only experimenting?
- Replacement: Is a verified replacement ready now?
- Impact: Which displayed duty benefit disappears while the post is empty?
If the purpose is temporary comparison, capture the current state first. If the replacement is uncertain, test one post at a time rather than clearing multiple buildings.
Common Mistakes
- Looking for Resign inside the building instead of the vertical Duty list.
- Confusing resignation with deleting or dismissing a General.
- Forgetting which officer belonged to which building.
- Assuming a replacement is better without checking the duty display.
- Leaving an important post empty after the comparison.
