The fact that we are debating about all these things shows that ET does a really good job in term of general diversity . Imo, all gold cavalry generals are viable. That's why I added 'badass look' into my choosing criteria, and Scipio gets a good score on that. So I probably hire him if I have medal to spare (which is not gonna be soon). PS. Since you are talking about 45% crit of that 'mighty' Huo, I would like to point out that the 45% is an additional crit rate from crossbow (+15%), talent (+10%), and skill (+20%). So his actual crit rate should be even higher than 45% when add those bonus to the base crit rate (which I still have no idea the probability).

There is no real bad gold generals in the game. The worst of the bunch are sertorius and surena. I mean lets be honest, even I wouldn’t complain if I was given either of the two in a campaign mission

Scipio probably is underrated, he have 25% critical rate with a crossbow, he with crasus is a good combo, crasus destroy minor buildings around the big citys and scipio capture this builds. He have street fight and charge and the most common is the spam of infantry when attack enemys cities, you can put scipio in a light cavalry in a military camp lvl 2 in the front and with counterattack + Street fight he have a very nice counterattack output_(only retreat when enemy archer gen go to attack scipio)
-Apart you can save golden spear and orations for mithridates(max 55% critical rate without banner) and the laurel crown for you gen with assault/roar/advantage. -Or you can give to your commander the golden spear and save the orations for him (max 35% critical rate without banner) and the laurel crown for Mithridates (max 40% critical rate without banner). But i like more the first option because your gen is more fast than mithridates and he arrive before to the battle (i have a cav commander) and with the moral bonus he is really nice, and when you need, cast orations in mithridates and he becomes a canon ready to destroy all in he way, 20% rate of attack twice and 55% rate of critical, a really monster.
Before i was thinking to buy Huo because he have a really high critical rate, but now i will buy scipio because he is not bad and he looks really badass Scipio is a Underrated generals with nice defensive and offensive capabilities, low critical rate than Huo, 25% against 45% but scipio dont need oration, huo have guerrilla (20% rate) but Scipio have charge and street fight.
He will be my second cavalry gen, my commander will be in the heavy armored unit because he have the most potential, i will buy underrated generals with potential for prove this generals can be useful and good, and can fight against the "top generals". Crasus, Scipio, Labienus, and Bato are the underrated guys.

He have 25% critical rate against the 20% rate of attack twice of Antony, antony is speed, but Cav commander can be a sword of double edge against strong gens with strong units because you receive the double of damage (the same of davout in EW6) and Scipio can crit and deals a good amount of damage without take double damage, for speedrunners, Antony is best, but scipio can compete agains antony, and scipio have better defense and around the same damage.

Maybe golden spear to this big lips boy?
P.S. Come on he doesn't deserve 4 stars , he is unparalleled! It is dangerous the skill cavalry commander when you face strong opponents, but critical damage is pure gold.

Did you guys notice that you take full damage when attacking from cities. But you take half when your are attacked in a city. So don’t go wild with your urban bonus just yet.

Scipio doesn't apparently have any defensive skill , but he receives fewer damages than other defensive units or generals . I think the skill counterattack does the job or maybe street fighting as you said , Frederich Fried Rice Paulus (your name is becoming way more difficult and bizarre to even quote you) .

The combination of counterattack with urban fighting with charge with scipio’s cavarly tactics is great, as you can use him to grab and capture cities. Good luck getting him out of one without a significant force.
