I bought caesar recently (I couldn’t resist). Edit maybe you can improve his health by recruiting a new unit for him I can not fully grasp this idea of recruiting a new unit for your generals yet. Can you explain it here european-war-4.boards.net/thread/11128/legions |

I bought caesar recently (I couldn’t resist). Is there any way to 1) improve his movement, and 2) heal him after I placed him down, he is quite powerful, but he gets rekt really quickly. Is he good? I mean compared to the other archer generals of course  . |

I mean compared to the other archer generals of course . Oops, i bought all the iaps 😂 man I am addicted to spending Caesar. I would say yes. He has pf, besiege, archer commander, and a rage skill making him good af attacking anything. But octavian and mehridates iv aren’t too far off. Really its archer commander that makes caesar so great. Hannibal Imo, much like blucher was in ew6, hannibal is the best in gcr. He has cavarly commander, a skill much like blitzkrieg, and insane damage overall allowing to attacking 3 or even 4 times consecutively at times. His damage is also no joke either. I had him completely annihilate scipio like it was a joke. Similar generals, Arminius, Anthony (who is not shown enough love imo). Finally we have Spartacus Spartacus is definitely an upgrade from Wellesley in the last game. He seems to be a pretty good general. But he has shield wall instead of ambush unfortunately which takes him down for me. But in my opinion, he is very good regardless. The damage he deals is around the same as hannibals but he takes return fire whereas hannibal most of the time doesn’t. Shield wall prevents from half damage occasionally. Similar Generals: Vercingetroix: slightly better at attacking other non archer units, better meat shield. But he lacks infantry commander which is a great skill in my opinion. Pompey: faster than spartacus, pf (which is worse than jungle now as it is a bit weaker (80% of jungle output). In my opinion, pompey is worse than spartacus simply because infantry already move pretty quickly and he loses his roar and archer attack skill) But if you want an in game spartacus, get Pompey Finally, we have labienus. He is really good in my opinion. He is also a spartacus lite but loses a shield wall skill. If you are careful with him, he’ll be as good if not better than pompey. But he is a legatus instead of a general meaning you can only shove him on tier 4’s (forgiveable). |

Few remember nowadays, but his cognomen was Magnus (the Great). It was very difficult to achieve such an honor in a Roman society. Sulla means "pork" and Lepidus "sweetie", for example. His own tragedy was that his rival was none other than Caesar, and usually talented hardworking people loose their battles against a genius. Second, I like to use a couple of hybrids. And in GCR he is, probably, the best hybrid. Third, we have 11 slots for generals, and to be honest without IAP generals our choice of decent candidates is a very limited one . |

Agreed, he is very good. Oddly enough, Labienus also suffered the same fate him mentioned. He had spectacular military achievements in the gaul while helping caesar, but he unfortunately died in battle during the roman civil war fighting against Caesar. Pompey is a great general in GCR. I personally didn’t like hybrids in the last couple of easy tech games. In fact, i only really enjoyed them in wc3 and ew4 (with a couple exceptions in wc4). But I see your point. Pompey is also quite great on infantry. He has as infantry master to attack twice, pf for output, march for quick movement, and shield wall for damage reduction. He essentially has 4 decent skills and a decent trait. Even though I like vercingetorix slightly more (ambush + shield wall + samurai). The guy is made to be a meatshield, pompey is only slightly behind him. |

Crassus is better hybrid, isn't he? I wouldn't forget about Scipio. Street fighting could be much more useful skill than even plain fighting as it looks from the screenshots. Cities are really big. And skills focused on conquering cities will be valued more than in previous games. |

Crassus is better hybrid, isn't he? Crassus is a kind of hybrid, meaning he is equally poor on most things. He is too delicate to be on cavalry, and has few upgrades to archers. On infantry he can be beat by most any other infantry general, and this only gets worse when he is on cavalry as his talent is 10% bonus to critical attack on infantry. He just isn't really good at anything, beyond killing the forts beneath defenders |

He just isn't really good at anything, beyond killing the forts beneath defenders I don't have the game, so can't of course be sure of anything right now. But all the ET games (conquest mode) are about taking cities, not killing units. You shouldn't kill units. There is no point - that is how You are overwhelmed. But if speaking about playing for fun, no speedrun, yeah, I see Your reasons. Fully agree. |

I think that the best Path is cleo, arminius, vercingetorix, scipio, mithridates VI, agrippa Now you have from Every type two (agrippa is inf/navy and cleo navy/archery) then Antony/huo I don't know yet who's better, octavian and then indeed pompey. You don't realy need navy in the campaigns but they Will be useful in conquest you could switch pompey and agrippa. Edit I miss two gens I would take li and huo/Antony |

The thing is navy hybrids are the best hybrids because a unit can be navy and archery at the same time. And she can do two things navy and archery but if you want full archery li is your best pick for a mid price |

You might as well sacrifice the 2 extra archery stars for a cheaper price in cleopatra’s price. |

But for 80 more medals, you have the best archery general in the game, mehridates iv. Plus surena has the barrier skill is well and urban fighting, which both are 🤢 imo |
