Marius - father of military reform, consul 7 time, defeated dangerous invasion of two German tribes. Sulla - dictator for life, crushed Mithridates in Greece, defeated Marius and his allies in the Civil war, subjugated rebellion of Italian allies against Rome. "Slightly" better candidates to occupy a vacant slot  . |

As a huge fan of Hardcore History (I like to listen to it while playing EasyTech conquests) I really hope to play some of the generals you mentioned. |

The game is more around Ceaser time I mean, Marius and Sulla existed between the Punic Wars and Ceasar time, both eras featured in the game. They'd fit in nicely |

They'd fit in nicely They are not in the Academy, so the only chance to see them is like in EW6 in kind of a single challenge mission with a portrait of already presented in game general Updates will most likely also be about the Principat and Dominus period of Roman history. |

Sertorius was forced to flee into Spain and fight there exactly because he was a firm supporter of Marius against Sulla Ceasar's aunt was a wife of Marius and Caesar's first wife was a daughter of the closest associate of Marius, and Pompey (as one of chief lieutenants of Sulla ) asked Sulla personally not to put Caesar's name onto prescription lists... Those times were crowded with big names, actually |

This guy, who wasn’t even a general, is kind of good whereas lucullus, the man who literally defeated one of Mihradates VI’s allies and pretty much causes Mih to lose the Mihradatic Wars, is garbage. How is that fair? Lucullus literally used infantry to outflank his enemy

Him, Sertorius and Lucullus. In my eye are the saddest three general (or politician) I will do the other later. But here I will talk about Cicero. Throughout his life, he was fighting for something and that is the Roman Republic, he hated dictatorship, and he is trying his best to avoid this from happening in rome. But he effort is in vain Inthe end. During the civil war of Caesar. He sided with Pompey, although he know either of them will be dictator when they win the war but he still think that Pompey is easier to convince and there is a slight chance of going back to the way of republic. But again he failed as Pompey lost the war. Then he try again with plotting the assassination of Caesar by inviting more people to go for the assassination like trebonius. He succeeded but it did not get the results that he expects instead it brings the split of Caesarian and republican in the siege of mutina. He did not give up and try again one last time by compromise with Antony but later switch to Octavian because he think he is a better candidate to lead the Roman Republic. Turns out both of his candidates became his enemy by the formation of second triamptive and put him on blacklist. This cause his death and his head was played by the Antony family everyday He use his whole life to fight the republic,he know he might be killed for this but he do it nonetheless. Hence I respect him. If you want Read more about him, go to Wikipedia is good start. |

Honestly, most of the generals during the great roman empire had very sad fates. Other than Scipio or Augustus, very few died of natural causes.
The ones who were assassinated by their own people were:
Arminius, Surena, Caesar, Sertorius, Cicero...
The ones who were forced into committing sucide:
Brutus, Cassius, Hannibal, Anthony, Cleopatra, Mihradates VI...
The ones who had pretty bad fates:
Pompey, Spartacus, Crassus, Vercingetorix,
It seems very few people had a happy ending during this time period. From being betrayed by your own colleagues like Surena and Arminius, to being forced to commit sucide after loosing a decisive battle like cassius, or like spartacus and bato, forced essentially to die in a last stand.
