infantry sucks so it's not a good idea to invest in them anyway, i'm going to just have lee, not going to get another inf general except for history mode. can Straussenberg be used for history? Infantry doesn't suck. Lol. I like using them to attack before using cav or artillery to finish the job and move to the next weak unit. I realize I'll probably have buy at least 3more generals for history mode. Since i have plenty of Gold and medals i figure I'll just invest into Grant for the last chapter in campaign. the generals are not trash but the units are. buy inf generals for history mode but don't use them for conquests, they are not good. |

I have to differ, the machinegunner infantry Is both cheap and good on taking on horses and counter infantry. I spam those along with light Artillery for offensives. |

Infantry just needs to not have garbage stats and gear. That’s their real problem. And also probably have cavalry only be able to activate Victory rush twice or something. I’m really not fond of making victory rush luck based anyway. GCR has good infantry. OR you can go the WC3/WC4 way of making them unusable in combat but insanely spammable due to air drops. That’s another way you can do it, though infantry generals will be really bad then.

Inf can only shine in taking empty cities
or guerilla tactics when the enemy's econ is awful.Just dont let inf gemerals to occupy the city surrounded by calv and art.Or let them kamikaze strong artillery generals

Anyway, my favorite unit is the Artillery and they are my favorite unit due to their range and are great against countering calvery which is now the new spam. |

infantry especially milita are very useful for defending cities. but inf are not good at dealing damage. without milita, conquests will be hard

Perhaps our strategy differ way too much.I don't have to worry about them since the enemy will be busy defending their own cities nearby unlike the struggles playing as Serbia.Firebats r only good at killing artilleries and other medium armored troops.Yes they're cool but not of much use aside from killing artilleries.Put inf general on HMGs or Grenadier are much effective.With terrain skills and max mobility you move like flash

Plus bad durability, plus no second attacks, plus massive population cost. |

The only problem is that they cost more and aren't great at dealing with enemy forts. |

like i said, infantry is only good for taking and defending cities, that's why having more than 1 inf general for conquest is pointless

They easily crush Belgium and put the pressure on the French. Best Artillery unit: Krupp Cannon |
