Scipio

Seems to be a pure cavalry general. Here are my guesses for his skills:
-Charge has a chance to deal a fatal blow when commanding Cavalry units
-Street Fighting is like in WC4
-Raid is likely this game’s counterpart to Blitzkrieg
-Counterattack is like Crossfire and Sailor in WC4
He can have 8 in cavalry. If his skills are like that, then he seems to be some kind of defensive cavalry.

City fighting is a lot more important in this game, as the coties can be 2 hexes deep and really well defended.
Maybe not the most useful skills, but I think he has a niche as a the Roman Murat

We were so hyped about him and sadly we realized he wasnt worth the hype. Maybe he could be useful in later parts of game where we need to defend against hordes of unnamed "better than iap tier" generals. Also no one mocked Patton in WC3 for street fighting even though cities used to be fragile. 3/5 for now.

With high degree of probability I will hire Scipio. It seems that he has not the best combination of skills, and, probably, not the best talent... Yet, I think, that all of his abilities can be of use to the player. The key is - to use them properly...

But you’re right, I think I was alone in my hatred of Patton in Wc3. But I roasted him more for his lack of tide of iron than Street Fighting. But the combination of both made him barely stronger than Eisenhower when I used him. |

I don’t think anyone would complain about him on there team. He has a bunch of different skills to other good cavalry generals so he might be a better choice than huo. |

It was through Hannibal that Scipio became a great strategist. That's how rivalries improve you as a person. Still, Scipio is built for sieges against cities rather than open combat. He will benefit more from having armor items rather than attack items(since if he's in a light cavalry, he'll die quickly). I don't like raid, and having siege or March would have been a better skill overall. Similar to Crassus, although Crassus is better IG, but Scipio IRL . |

In each easytech game, there were always generals who were better at fighting against you than for you. For example, Rommel, Zhukov, Model, Scipio, Monty... Makes for interesting mission design |
