Ludwig is a new Historic General in Evony: The King’s Return, and it is advisable that you use him when attacking with ground troops.
Evony: The King’s Return is an explorative mobile game in which gamers can build an empire from scratch. To aid you in your adventure, you can recruit a range of Generals, each of which has a specific objective in the game.
One of the Generals that you can recruit is Ludwig, who is the 33rd Commander of North Ocean Principality.
Why are Generals important?
Although to some, Generals may seem like a simple feature of Evony, they are a vital component of the game. This is because players use them in everything they do. This includes fighting, crafting, constructing, and researching.
The better the General is, the more effective they will be in their roles. Certain Generals are specialists at a specific task.
For instance, Simeon the Great is regarded as one of the best Generals for leading a Ranged player-versus-player attack, and therefore, he should not be used when attacking with ground troops.
It is vital that you know what your General’s specialisations are before using them to attack an enemy or harvest resources.
