Evony: The King’s Return is an adventurous video game that allows you to assume the role of a lady or lord during medieval times.

It is your responsibility to build an empire from scratch by constructing buildings, training troops, and harvesting resources.

To assist you with these tasks, you can recruit Generals. One of the Generals you can acquire is Charles XII.

Generals

Generals are your leaders in the game as they lead armies in marches to gather resources and to attack enemies on the world map.

You can also assign a General to be the Mayor of a Subordinate City. Generally, Generals can be collected from the Tavern, which is a building in your keep.

However, some Generals you can only acquire by participating in a specific in-game event. Hence, players should check the Event Center regularly to find out when a General will be available for collection.

Although Generals may seem quite simple, they are a key component in Evony because you use Generals in everything you do in the game.

What should you use Charles XII for?

According to Charles XII”s skills, players should only use him when they are attacking with ranged troops or siege machines.

When you are fighting against mounted troops, you should use ranged troops because ranged troops have an advantage over mounted troops and enemies.

However, if you notice that the enemy is fighting with ground troops, you should not use ranged troops. Ground troops are strong against ranged troops, which means that you may lose the battle.

It is therefore essential that you know which troops you have to defeat before a battle begins.

Can Charles XII be improved?

Once you have Charles XII, you should focus on increasing his level. This can be done by killing enemy troops, defeating monsters, and attacking sub-cities. When he has reached a high level, you can commence the cultivation process.

This process requires gems and gold to increase Charles XII’s statistics. Every statistic can be increased by an additional 500 points through this process.

You can also raise Charles XII’s star level by enhancing him. This process requires gold and medals. Charles XII’s star level can be increased to a maximum of 5 stars, but he must be on a certain level before a star increase can be done.
