 (P2W alert) Quite good. Better than buying an expensive Infantry general like Straussenburg. Saves me resources to get Cavalry and Artillery generals. From no threat to real threat  |

any good cavalry gens? i got McCellen and jackson and moltke well, p2w is ludendorff who is also THE highest damage dealer in the game. Otherwise johnston and plumer would be the obvious answers |

P2W can also recommend Soviet pack with Frunze. |

I’m fairly sure that if you get the Soviet Pack, you won’t have to buy neither Ivanov nor Beseler at least until late-game. Also Herbert Plumer.

Who's better to get? Hotzendorf or Prince Leopold?
With textbooks, Prince Leopold will probably be better but Hotzendorf looks pretty solid also.

dont get any of those generals, you only need hindenburg, ivanov and beseler, don't invest in any one else just because they are cheaper
for cav, you only need plumer, jackson and molke, buying more cav gen is a waste. you don't need 4 or 5 for challenge conquest because you can only use 10 generals im pretty sure and 3 or 4 will be arty, 1 or 2 will atleast be inf, 3 will be cav and 1 or 2 would be navy

That much arty? Weird. Cav is already decent at sieging due to victory rush and high stats and they’re more versatile and more capable of killing enemies, and enemies are the main obstacle in challenge conquest. Plus we can use air bombings and blasts to siege. I’d recommend 6 cav at least. And also just drop infantry. They can’t do anything unless you have a strategy that absolutely requires it. And then you need to think about whether or not a cavalry later on would help more or not. For conventional play they’re completely worthless. Navy too is a bit questionable unless you’re playing a big naval power that needs to cross a lot of oceans like Britain. Also you probably want Joffre and McClellan for history mode, but that’s way later. The medal economy in 1914 is extremely lenient. So doing that is no problem. |

6 cav? What in the world will they be doing hahaha. Jackson, Moltke, Stepanovic, Joffre, Plumer, McClellan should fill the six for maximum efficiency; more than that (e.g. Johnston, Mackensen etc.) are just a waste. Even so most of the time you will only be using 3-4 (leaving Joffre/Moltke/McClellan out), and some can be permanently off your list once you are done with history mode (e.g. Sheridan, McClellan and Joffre)

6 cav is too much, it takes too many turns to build good cav units to put all ur cav gens on. thats y 3-4 is enough

They pay back the turns spent with Victory rush and way better stats. I mean, your alternatives aren't actually that good. Inf is useless. They can't siege, they can't fight, they're a sack of HP that's used to defend cities, definetly not worth placing generals on, except for some very few instances (Serbia 1914). Artillery is handy for forts but not actually THAT good in a siege. They're bad at dealing with the garrison and can't kill stuff efficiently, which is really important, especially on higher difficulties. Cavalry is the best at that. Plus you get blasts and air bombings. They're pair really well with cavalry but you don't really need that many. 3 or so is enough, 4 or so if you're getting really spread out. Navy as I've said is situational too. Also, Light Cav are totally acceptable units to place generals on in lower difficulties. On higher difficulties you mostly want to save for Armored Cars, since that's pretty much the only acceptable unit available. |
