Frederick I Guide

Frederick is a commander that you will use a lot in the early game of Rise Of kingdoms but later he will lose his value. He is purely single target damage and for an early game, he can do insane damage. He will lose value because later you will get commanders who are 10 time better and stronger commander 

But we have a big problem with Frederick if you are not a big spender. Is it worth to invest Frederic your universal golden sculptures? Well if you are on a new kingdom then you can invest a few universal legendary sculptures in him but if you are on the old server just leave him and use best Rise of Kingdoms commanders.

But use only sculptures to max his first and second skill. The rest of skills are not worth getting with legendary sculptures. You will eventually get him on max level with golden keys.

Lore

Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa, was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 until his death. Historians consider him among the Holy Roman Empire’s greatest medieval emperors. He combined qualities that made him appear almost superhuman to his contemporaries: his ambition, his skills at organization, his battlefield acumen and his political perspicuity. Among his contribution to Central European society and culture include the re-establishment of the Corpus Juris Civilis, or the Roman rule of law, which counterbalanced the papal power that dominated the German states since the conclusion of the Investiture Controversy. Frederick died in 1190 in Asia Minor while leading an army in the Third Crusade.
