I think it could be the case when we can overdo it  Mobility ftw I personally might be tempted by idea of buying Pacorus 2.0 - Commius |

stoic , Seger , as You know ET games are not only about raw damage, but fast mission completion as well. I have Arminius, don't buy him Raw damage, when used right, can make you complete a mission faster What does it mean "used right"? You played campaign. Obviously there are a lot of missions You need to send same gens from one flank to another and need to do it in time. Also I was never hyped so much about terrain skills as You guys. Don't make me wrong - it's great. However the placement of Your generals and units depends (first!) on where the hell enemy/city is, than You need to take into consideration (second!) Your aura and only (third!) terrain bonus. So 3 prerequirements are to be fulfilled in order to benefit from terrain. Well, that's too much imo to overestimate this skill. And at the same time Mobility is always mobility whatever the situation on the field. |

I agree that terrain bonuses might be not as good as in EW6, but Arminius has some defensive potential as well and a possibility to strike without retaliation. Quite useful, don't you find? Btw, what about Caesar (a question above)? |

Triggers often enough and helpful so much. This skill group is very strong. I think in GC:R skills are more balanced than in previous series. |

That's why Blucher is the greatest in EW6, he has the damage and mobility to do his thing. As for the placement, there's usually one cavalry and archer unit, and around 2 infantry units, which i have all of. Some campaigns have annoying units to deal with, and the raw damage is used to take them down, while your more mobile units go ahead and take the objectives |

Some campaigns have annoying units to deal with, and the raw damage is used to take them down, while your more mobile units go ahead and take the objectives I don't think the strategy from EW6 is same useful in GC:R. Units are vulnerable like in EW5. The assault with limited forces easily leads to the death of the critically important gens. So "used right" is to have more damage? Didn't understand anyway  More damage is good but if You can't strike because You can't reach critically important target in time -> no damage at all. |

In the campaigns, it requires you at time to kill key units. Killing them 1 turn earlier will be useful . Although you can spam units, leave them to deal with one of them, and let your generals rush the other key unit. Also agreed, i mentioned it in another post that GCR will be more grouping of units rather EW6 where one or 2 generals are running around massacring everyone while you let militias capture cities for you. Also, the right way is using what raw damage is best at, and where mobility is best at , and consider how their weakness can be used as strength, or atleast mitigate it |

I didn't upgrade it and my Mithri strikes several times quite often. It is just a marginally more often if upgraded only once. |

Polybius tells us an interesting story Hannibal was a refuge in the Seleucid Kingdom. It was right before the battle of Magnesia. Antiochus, the Seleucid King has decided to impress his famous guest and organised a military parade. There were all famous units of the whole Seleucid Empire: Companion cavalry - the elite royal guard since the days of Alexander, famous elite Phalanx pikemen Argyraspides (Silver shield pikemen), heavily armored cataphracts from Armenia, each of them wearing a massive gold ring etc. In his excitement Antiochus said to Hannibal: "Do you see it? Isn't it enough for these Roman farmers?". Hannibal replied: "Oh, I personally think that it is more than enough... But, on a second thought, these Romans are very, very greedy" After several days Seleucids were crushed at the battle of Magnesia and indeed Antiochus had to pay more |
