Council of State
2023/7/6 – Article published.
Council of State is a facility for obtaining new buffs.
Generals can be appointed to positions, thereby increasing various buffs.
As the level of Council of State is increased, various positions are unlocked.
Council of State can be upgraded when you reach Keep level 32.
In order to raise the level of Council of State, it is necessary to raise the level of Pasture and Victory Column first.

Buff improvement in the Senate
3 elements of “Military Title,” “Position,” & “Generals”
There are 3 ways to get buffs in Council of State
– Promote “Military Title” grade.
– Level up “Position“.
– Raise the star level of the “Generals” appointed to the position to 6 or higher.
Military Title
There are 6 “Military Titles”.
- Governor
- Commander
- Marshal
- Leading Senator
- Ruling Senator
- Honorary Senator
Position
There are 4 “Positions” for each Military Title. (24 positions in total)
- Ground troops
- Mounted troops
- Ranged troops
- Siege machines
Generals
Each position can appoint a “Generals” of the corresponding troop type.
If you are not sure which general is which type of troop, please refer to this list.
Appointing Generals to Positions
By raising a general’s star level, you can appoint him to a “position”.
Appointment becomes possible at Star Level 5, and the higher the Star Level, the more buffs you get in the Council of State.
Note: If the star level is raised during the appointment, the general must be removed and reappointed.
Generals appointed to positions cannot be used for any other purpose while they are appointed. (e.g., marching outside the castle for combat or resource gathering, defender, duty officer, sub-city mayor, etc.)
You cannot appoint a purple general
You should raise the red star of a general, but this is only for golden historic general.
Even if you raise the red star of a purple historic general, you cannot assign him/her to a senate.
(On 2/2/2024, it became possible to raise some purple generals to 10 stars. At this initial time, it was possible to assign a purple general with a red star to the senate, but then on 2024/02/19 it became impossible to do so.)

Thank you!

Thank you!!
Does it really do you any good to have 12 generals, 5 star level 22+, who sit around doing nothing but hang around the keep? Are the buffs really worth it, or are you better off using them in the battlefield or monster hunting? Do the buffs apply to each troop type, kind of like Blazons for general type, but more expensive? Also, if you put a general who has mixed troop types, like range and siege, do buffs only apply for the category of the Senate position? That is, if I have Yue Fei who is ground and mounted, and I put him in horse Senate position, do his buffs only apply to generals who attack with horses, or to generals who are only horse types, like Napoleon Prime? I mean, are the buffs for the troop type, or the general type?
Mixed Generals cannot be put in a Senate position. Only Military Historic Generals (gold or higher) can be placed there, and they must have a symbol (ground, mounted, range or siege) that matches the position where you put them.
With Zero red stars:
Governor: Marching Defense +4%,
Commander: Marching HP +4%,
Marshal: Marching HP +4%.
Leading Senator: In Rally Defense +5%,
Ruling Senator: In Rally HP +5%,
Honorary Senator: In Rally HP +5%.
The buffs are better as you get more red stars, and include in-city buffs.
At 5 red stars, you get attacking buffs.
If you look at the Promotions for the positions:
Governor: Attacking and a few debuffs,
Commander: In-City and a few debuffs,
Marshal: In-Rally and a few debuffs.
Leading Senator: Attacking and In-Rally and a few debuffs,
Ruling Senator: In Rally and Attacking and a few debuffs,
Honorary Senator:, Many Battlefield (like BoG, BoC, All-Stars and maybe Huns) Buffs; with a few HP, Defense and Attack that apply outside of battlefields.
We need a list of generals who can work in each location. I’m still waiting for the information to be updated.
Lv 22 required Vic column 6; lv 24 required Vic column 7
“A general who is in the process of being appointed”, are you saying that after a certain period of time you can use the general normally after that? if so that’s great.
No. My wording was bad. Sorry.
Generals appointed to positions cannot be used for any other purpose while they are appointed.
do we know anything if the gear or specialties of the appointed generals are showing an effect?
Also wondering
The game is now just about spending money, its not good, every new event is designed to encourage people to spend to achieve small buffs and for many its impossible to progress.
Bruv – you gotta tell people not to do this.
VC 6 unlocks level 23
VC 7 unlocks level 24
It’s fucking terrible
Victory column 6 required for level 23 – siege in middle category not available. I imagine further than VC for all unlocks
