Is there a beginner path thread like wc4 and 3? One really old one by me when we didn't really have any idea what we were doing. Anyway the person you wanna start with is Hotzendorf, as you have a severe lack of artillery at the start of the game and he's excellent. Then you prioritize cavalry and artillery. You pretty much only need 2 (but you can use 3) infantry generals, Lee and Haig/Boroevic. And pretty much only Beatty for Navy and you're set. |

Its obvious that there will be achievements. Sure, but not that these are the current "gained from activity" medals I still not know how we can get those medals. |

Is there a beginner path thread like wc4 and 3? Would be my recommendation. Grant (give inf master) -> Stonewall Jackson (give precision strike) -> McCellan -> Ivanov or Hindenburg (give aura) - > Beatty (optional: gove escort) -> Ivanov or Hindenberg - > Robert E Lee... |

Most of us played through the game before the textbook update. Giving Grant any investment is pretty redundant and wasteful imo. And no Hotzendorf? |

This advise is not perfect, McClellan is really overrated after the book update and why would you put inf master to grant? You don’t need a inf gen so badly and if you do don’t forget that 5 books=225 medals so just get MacArthur if you need inf so badly |

Sidney Johnston and Stonewall Jackson needs some to shine. |

Sidney Johnston and Stonewall Jackson needs some to shine. yes but it find it stupid that people still think that he the best, No he isn't and even mackensen will be better then him. So if you are really desperate you could buy him but it isn't a good basic advise |

So if you are really desperate you could buy him but it isn't a good basic advise Mccellan ain’t the best. But be starts off better than everyone else for one and his worst skill is edge. Sidney johnston also has edge, he also has counterattack and riding master. Sidney is really good but needs quite a bit of investment to be as good as Mccellan (15 textbooks = 675 medals). Or you can just trade mccellan’s edge for surprise and make him a murat, which is very easy to do (5 textbooks vs 15). In order to make someone who is worse than radetsky into being as good as mccellan, you will need 3 skills to be changed (30 textbooks I believe). Sidney is really good, but for the price difference between him and Mccellan, you can get hindenberg who is rly op. |

Sidney Johnston and Stonewall Jackson needs some to shine. Yes sidney lacks a terrain bonus for one. Also lacks aura. Stonewall jackson lacks precision. You will either have to sacrifice a vital skill or tons of textbooks in order to get them to replace mccellan. |

But in order to unlock macarthur you have to beat relatively far into the game. 225 medals for a purple general with inf master, counterattack, formation master, and inspire is a pretty good deal. You could beat that far into the game with no problem so its not really that much of an issue (especially considering you have stonewall jackson). Neither is a bad choice. |

That is not 225 medals for a general with that skillset. That is 225 medals to give a horrible general +5% damage. A terrible deal. Why do you even want an infantry general that soon anyway? You almost only get awful infantry units in ACW and Artillery generals is what we need most in the early game. |

You almost only get awful infantry units in ACW and Artillery generals is what we need most in the early game. Actually thinking about this you COULD get one for the german campaign where you get to use firebats, which are pretty good. But I’d only get Lee/Haig/Boroevic and all of them cost 500+ and I’d like Hindenburg before them. I guess one way you could start is getting Hotzendorf instead and quickly do some easy conquests and then get Haig if you really would like an infantry general ASAP. |
