I am new to the game and have 2 of the free generals from the American campaign. I was wondering what type or which general I should get. I have 950 medals.

I learned the importance of keeping your free generals. Very useful.  You can keep them for so long,. It's funny how we dismiss them too soon. I started off with Wellesley because I wasn't consistentl with cloud save. There went my first lineup. if you don't mind farming, you can buy upgrade and sell your generals . But that's a bit tedious. It's what I did, i had to find what works for me. Infantry aura is what I bought first. I think you should save up for one too. Like karl or Messena. Then I moved on to artillery, . Personally I didn't use a cavalry general until half way through my campaigns. So just save your medals, upgrade your tech along the way , don't rush . |

Massena. If you can save further, Murat.

Massena and Karl are the great infantry team.
Murat and Dambrowski are the great cavalry team.
Mahmud II and Alexander I are the great artillery team.
Do not spend any medals or gold to upgrade your free generals, they become obsolete very soon except Jourdan, who becomes just mediocre.
Focus on getting 2 strong generals in one category first: inf or cav.

Save up for Massena, he's probably the most cost-effective general. From there on, you can keep doing campaigns, or farm the Netherlands conquest. If you wish to buy iaps, I recommend getting blucher and napoleon.

Massena. If you can save further, Murat. I bought Greene first. Will probably sell him once I have enough for Massena. |

The only generals I have are Clinton, Jourdan, Gates, Falsen, and Roon. Roon is great when paired on elite light infantry. I am saving for washington, but if you manage to finish lannes in challenges, you should get him instead of roon. As he is a good beginner gen.

The best beginner gen is massena without doubt I would like to counter that argument, because prior to this I haven't heard of massena and I've been doing just fine, maybe even better. I believe the best beginner gen is either roon or lannes. Even jourdan is great if you give him legion medal and short sword that you earn from conquest. |

I believe the best beginner gen is either roon or lannes. Even jourdan is great if you give him legion medal and short sword that you earn from conquest. The question is not how to be fine at the beginning of the game, but who is better for beginners . Lannes? You have to unlock at least 40% discount to make his price reasonable. Roon? Why to buy a general who most likely will not be a member of your team late in the game? Massena is one of the best generals in EW6 and his price is a bargain. You can buy him after a couple of hours. Is there any reason to delay this purchase? |

I am only saying what I've done in my beginning on EW6 without any outside help. I in no way intend on spreading mis-information. Also I saw no issues with the lannes challenge when I started EW6 so I do believe it should be easy enough for any beginner. I just never heard of massena before this and I will check him out next time I play EW6. |

I just never heard of massena before this and I will check him out next time I play EW6. You know when you said the name Roon, I thought you are a troller  Because since I start playing Euw6, many gens have been recommended, both good or bad. But never heard of Roon, and I have to search him. And honestly when I see him, he's bad. You said you do good with him, that's normal, cause I can 3* all American campaign except for the last one with only free gens, and I stop there because I want to 3* from the 1st finish of every campaign. With the medals save up at that point around 1k, I could buy Roon or even someone better, but I do conquest to buy Murat, and he is too way different with the rest. Massena is below Murat for a gap, but still better a lot than Roon, so there's no way Roon is better than Massena as you say. And you may not heard of massena before this, but nearly every discussion for 1st gen buy has Massena. |

I am not a troller, I got roon to get me through the french and canadian campaigns, he really isn't a bad gen at all. Also not once did I say roon is better than Massena, I said roon may be the best starter gen, but that's in my perspective as he is the only gen I bought. Also to follow up, he was only a starter gen, as I sold him for a much better gen. Also in my defense I do not read 1st gen buys, like I previously stated I do not go for outside help unless I am truly stuck, and I haven't yet been stuck on EW6. Last thing, is you do not need to be so aggressive just because I'm trying to give advice, in my eyes roon is a good starter gen. |

Last thing, is you do not need to be so aggressive just because I'm trying to give advice, in my eyes roon is a good starter gen. First of all, I'm not agressive to you, just kind of peculiar to a strange opinion. Secondly, you didn't say roon is better than Massena, but this is your sentence "prior to this I haven't heard of massena and I've been doing just fine, maybe even better". What is ''better'' mean in this case? About calling a gen good or bad, that's an opinion with fact. If you play well, you maybe 3* the American campaign (and more) without buying anyone. If you play bad, even having Blucher couldn't guarantee you will win a campaign. But stats say everything, and in this case Roon is a Gates with Sailor, and which beginner will use inf to fight on the sea? And Gates is free, Roon is not. I'm not trying to stop you giving advice or something, but mostly beginners will suffer in the long-term with this kind of gen, while Massena is nearly (if not only) the gen that beginner can buy and use until the very end. That's why I have to strongly disagree with you, as many people in the Roon review thread. |
