Evony’s new general, Maria Carolina, released with the 2025 Mother’s Day events, is good at leading ground troops, whether attacking or not. This general’s attack and HP gains on ground troops are outstanding and can even be said to be the highest theoretical value so far. If you want to learn how to obtain and correctly use this general, please read the guide to the end.
The Story of General
Maria Carolina, the pride of the Austrian Habsburgs and a powerful queen of Naples and Sicily. In an age of revolution and war, she defended her family’s honor and her kingdom’s sovereignty with bold resolve and unmatched intellect.
In 1768, at just 15, Carolina married into the Bourbon dynasty. She didn’t succumb to the lavish court life, but instead seized power from her ineffectual husband with impressive political acumen, becoming the true ruler of the realm. Determined to reform a stagnant kingdom, she championed Enlightenment policies, industrial growth, and naval expansion, transforming her realm into a dominant Mediterranean power.
When the French Revolution swept across Europe, Carolina acted with clarity and courage. She covertly aligned with Austria and Britain, forming an anti-French coalition to halt the tide of revolution at her kingdom’s borders. Under her leadership, Naples became a bastion of conservative resistance, repeatedly standing against the expansion of Napoleonic France.
Carolina’s life was an epic tale of strength and sacrifice, glory and tragedy. Like a beacon in a storm, her legacy guided those who dared to resist. Her indomitable will was the last gleam of Naples’ twilight, shining across the depths of history.
