Charlemagne (Civ4)

Charlemagne (c. April 742 – 28 January 814) was King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans from 800 until his death. He leads the Holy Romans in Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword.
== General Info ==
Thanks to Charlemagne's traits and unique components, he is an incredibly powerful aggressive force in the Medieval Era. When he gets access to the devastating Landsknecht - a Pikeman with double attack versus both mounted units and melee units - he renders Knights, some of the fastest and most powerful units of the Medieval Era, much less useful. Despite his prominence in the Medieval Era, Charlemagne has the potential to be a military powerhouse throughout the entire game, with many units good at defending cities buffed up even more by the extra Great Generals he will generate from the fighting that is likely to occur. However, he does take a bit of mastery to use properly, and if used incorrectly, it can be nigh impossible to win games with him.

== Trivia ==
* Charlemagne's appearance is based on his reliquary, made centuries after his death. It is more based on the ideal look of Jesus Christ than on Charlemagne's real appearance. The king in reliable sources is described having a round head, large lively eyes, slightly larger nose than usual, white but still attractive hair, and a short fat neck.
* The background depicts the interior of the Palace of Aachen.
