radomir000 EC is the xx commander you get for free. They are very expensive to upgrade, but also extremely powerful when well-developed. As an early game player, Govorov is a better fit for you but I would still recommend trying a bit harder for Guderian. Just One Bite resiphius Here's my thought on Sikorski vs Govorov: if you can freely pick the medals and the two NEVER move together, then Govorov's pros against artillery + assault Sikorski are only explosives and movement. However, we also need to take practicality into consideration. Sikorski, when equipped with 2 artillery medals, doesn't have a huge advantage against Govorov. Tank ECs have the top priority when it comes to assault medals and need them in large quantity, meaning it will take a very long time before Sikorski gets one, not to mention the air generals might want them as well. Artillery + combo Sikorski has no reason to split up with Govorov. As for artillery EC, I don't think it's as favorable as tank or infantry EC at endgame.

If you see Katukov showing up in the store, you should get him even if you don't have Guderian yet because the next time you see him will be 2 months later. However, if you can afford Guderian and Katukov isn't there yet, there's no need to wait.

Didn't you want to wait for Horton but needed someone for the pacific campaign or do want/need two admirals?
edit: referring to your day 4 post
3 more days before Horton, can't wait for so long Seriously speaking, my first experience of Warzone demonstrated that Naval battle is very promising to improve my total score. I believe that two Admirals should enable me to farm 2 Ribbons per run. Just to compare the score of Naval and Infantry trial Even with Rundstedt instead of Tito I can't hope that Infantry score will improve drastically soon enough. But Horton and Mikava have a great synergy between them, it seems. Why Tito instead of Messe?

Why crerar? Is it because of the plain fighting lvl4 meaning 5* attack with arty/tanks on that terrain? Yes.

Bastico starts off with 2 movement while List has 3, which narrows the gap. He is cheaper, just not by a lot. While Inspiration is becoming more valuable than before, Blitz still has its use, just not as irreplaceable as before. I'd say this is more of a preference thing. That's another con for List since he doesn't have that flexibility. I don't think Rundstedt is worthy of entering the discussion. Explosives is important for infantry generals but Rundstedt doesn't have the slot. We cross that bridge when we come to it, they say I recall it was possible to complete more than a half of the game without having a single Explosion on our generals. Don't forget that every new player has other urgent needs at the start, rather than planning how beat Doom Warzone For a start it would be great to beat off every daily Invasion. And Rundstedt is capable of doing it just fine. Getting an infantry general just for invasion sounds like luxury to me, especially when we can just use Konev for infantry invasions for a long period of time. For frontier and warzone Explosives will be beneficial. Don't forget Higuchi also comes with lvl 3 IL and lvl 2 Raider. Rundstedt doesn't have either of them.

Bastico actually isn't a lot cheaper than List when maxed out. Mikawa is decent but given we have Darlan, his Wolfpack won't be that useful. Higuchi's first skill isn't great but that doesn't really matter since his true advantage is his price. Yet, he is cheaper. In comparison to List he has a higher rank and 4 Armor stars instead of 3. Besides, I value his damage potential more than that of List. In fact, I am not sure that Blitzkrieg is a top skill for a Tank general nowadays. Concerning Higuchi we actually have an Infantry general within his price range who has a significantly better survivability, namely Rundstedt. Higuchi has more upgraded skills, yet Rundstedt is two ranks higher. So, probably, the cost of investments is about equal. Bastico starts off with 2 movement while List has 3, which narrows the gap. He is cheaper, just not by a lot. While Inspiration is becoming more valuable than before, Blitz still has its use, just not as irreplaceable as before. I'd say this is more of a preference thing.

I think beginners should aim straight for Guderian now, given the more generous early game rewards. Yeah, it depends if saga is new to ET games or a veteran who likes to complete the early game without generals. No I'm saying even beginners of ET games in general can now consider going straight to Guderian. You get 1850 (500 initial + 1200 daily login + 100 beginner pass + 50 battle pass) medals by doing pretty much nothing. 1939 conquests give 800 medals in total and tutorials give 300. Not a single level of campaign completed and you have Guderian.

If you are just limiting yourself to "no non-discounted gold tier," that can be roughly translated to "no Guderian, Yamashita, Yamaguchi, Rokossovsky, or Montgomery." Not that bad since you still have Rommel, List, Bastico, and Pavlov for tank, Higuchi and Clark for infantry, and Darlan, Horton, and Nimitz for navy. For artillery and air force (mostly) it's unaffected. Yes, that's basically the idea. I would like to test new names, so, probably will get Mikava instead of Nimitz and experiment with Infantry (I tested Higuchi and can't say his unique skill is impressive). And probably will skip List too, because upgrading his 3 tank stars is anything but "budget" Besides, as you pointed out, there will be new generals and thus new options. Bastico actually isn't a lot cheaper than List when maxed out. Mikawa is decent but given we have Darlan, his Wolfpack won't be that useful. Higuchi's first skill isn't great but that doesn't really matter since his true advantage is his price.

Now that more general added can you guys update this thread? It would help the beginner a lot I think that once you've played the game for several weeks you'll have enough knowledge and experience to properly assess all generals. So it's only necessary to avoid mistakes in the beginning. A cost effective start could look like this:
Buy Tito and Crerar
Next buy Leeb and upgrade 2 of his skills (preferably rumor) Complete the starter pass and get Pavlov for free. With four generals, you can complete all daily tasks and missions
After 7 days, Horton should come for free from the login event Next comes Guderian and discount generals such as Konev, Rommel etc
Once you finished campaign and work through frontier, Higuchi is a budget substitute for Yamashita (everyone's favorite inf general)
I think beginners should aim straight for Guderian now, given the more generous early game rewards.

Unfortunately, quite often these threads don't reflect the current state of affairs. Moreover, quite often they represent personal opinions of authors, sometimes ill-founded or dubious at best. So, it is pointless to update such threads. It is better to create a new one. Better by players who already completed the game and know what they are talking about I recommend Erich von Manstein, journeykeen, jonblend, or Darth Nihilus to make a new one 🤭 This is something that requires extra caution because I see misguiding beginners as one of the worst things to do. I'm a bit reluctant to do it right now since the release of new generals in future updates is almost guaranteed. Who would've thought both competitors for best admiral, one of them being a new general, become obsolete after just one update? That being said, it's pretty unlikely that Guderian, Konev, Rommel, and Arnold will fall out of favor for F2P. I'd recommend for beginners to prioritize the first 3 and be conservative with additional spending until future updates.

Save/load cloud archive to maximize your damage by aiming for critical hits and switching medals. It is definitely not the most exciting thing on earth but it is effective, I have to admit it. Just an example. You put your best medals on one general and attack, if the result of this attack are satisfying you make a save. Then you attack again, if you are not content with results you load your cloud archive and start attacking again until you are pleased with results. Then you are switching medals and repeat the whole process again. I have honor to discover switching medals tactics long ago and back then it was just a fun fact. Now it may be a necessity It is definitely worth trying if you have that powerful Excellence 🏅 european-war-4.boards.net/thread/7727/secret-yearThat’s interesting. I think by S&L we mean radically different things (I only use that term because I saw others using it). By medal switching, it is obvious: attack with one general, switch the medals to another, etc. Note that this does not work on excellence *unless* it never activated for your first general it is on (that round). What is the word for pausing your game mid-attack animation to guarantee leader abilities and, at the highest levels, maxing possible damage via the formula for every attack? This is what is required in conquests, and I imagine Von Stierlitz was the first (no one else seemed to get close to his records until I did; I did so because I found his records to be impossible in finite time, hence I searched for ways to guarantee the critical hit). Both are called s&l with no prefix for differentiation so it really depends on the context.

Wolfpack evolves into Leadership. 5* for him. Does Wolfpack stack with leadership? Yes.
