You lose one skill and around 15 TA that’s a lot. Roughly 20% damage TA is total ability I take it (correct me if i am wrong). Thats roughly coincidental to not even 3% of a damage difference. Intercept is good but is it worth those 10 extra textbooks and 200 medals. It is good but it only works when attacking cavarly, which will only be the case less than 1/4 of the time. You can only deploy 8 gens using a less strong general as second gen wouldn’t be smart, saving medals on your other generals is normal but shouldn’t your main team be your biggest priority? |

I would imagine that he has a solid main team now. Besides, medals are aplenty if you make IAPs in the game, so I dont think its a pressing issue given the abundance of general slots. Even though there can only be a maximum of 10 generals at any given time, it is highly unlikely that you will need more than 7 (traditionally games are fought on 2 major fronts + one navy/support general), so why not play around for the additional slots since they will most likely only be employed for supporting a certain front, cleaning up your territories or advancing into relatively unguarded lands |

Haven't there been mentions of History Mode considerations? Personally getting a useful history mode general that can act as both one of your main generals and for the aforementioned purpose, is ultimately the most efficient way to go about strategising in the game. But since now there is Straussenberg, its slightly easier to decide and plan |

But since now there is Straussenberg, its slightly easier to decide and plan ET has been playing their cards wisely..I mean Bismarck has been there since the very beginning.History mode really make more generals worthy unlike in WC3 where its always those generals to the end.If you know how to play well or have experience every (at least decent) generals can be used at his best advantage |

Bismarck is good. There are better ones, but his high battle ability is hybrid-worthy.

Cheaper. Infantry sucks anyway so wasting the medals on other units is intelligent |

haig imo is smarter than bismarck. He has plain fighting which robert e lee does not have. If I swap street fighting for tactics master, he will be very good while also not demanding a huge investment. E lee will have intercept instead. Imo haig is better than both bismarck and e lee

Imo haig is better than both bismarck and e lee Imagine having British history mode missions... only generals that we may have had is Beatty, de Robeck, Reginald Bacon and Butcher Haig. Herbert Plumer will be a crucial addition to the British team with the new update |

If you'd like one British artillery general, maybe Henry Horne

Imo haig is better than both bismarck and e lee You should at least have 2 good inf gens (Haig, e, lee Straussenburg or boerovic) as third inf gen you could get Macmahon as a cheap option |

After all it is unnecessary to hire "the best out of the remaining" infantry generals if you would like to have a 4th for reserve purposes, macarthur doesnt lose out much to his French counterpart either

So he is arguably better as well. Plus apparently we cannot use iaps in history mode so having a french general for the battle of verdun will be handy (no not you esperey). |
