Cavalry expert only gives you +15% when maxed.... maybe I should consider +20 of damage from cavalry commander . 15% is a nice bonus. Don’t dismiss Cavalry Expert, it’s a good skill. strangely ET does not have any of the 3 expert/master skills in their game manual. Gunsight master, Cavalry expert nor artillery expert. Very strange, I was hoping to figure out what the bonus really is |

Cavalry or artillery expert is better fitted with inspiration . We can "ignore" morale boost on artillery due to the superior bonus for cannons(+20/25%) compared to +15/20% on cavalry. I don't have books to spare on Moltke however , neither I will ever shove him in units with more than 75/80 of attack (with a consequent damage boost of : 11,25/12 ; 15/16 ) The real question is how to properly calculate the percentage . Does cavalry expert apply on surprise(8/20% from 0 to 5 hexes) ? Or like it says in its description :"increase stable output" , does it apply BEFORE surprise ? I really hope easytech publishes or has already published a complete damage formula scheme .. |

Investing 15 books on Moltke he can be a Ludendorff lite .
I think he is the closer one to that .
The best "raw damage" setup is :
1 Precision
2 Cav commander
3 Plain/Forest bonus
4 Surprise
5 You can decide between consistent and general output from Cav expert or Inspiration or Edge(which is just like Storm fortifications for artillery).

I believe you get him after the 1871 Prussian campaign or is it the tutorial, I can't remember.

At the end Jackson is a kinda nerfed Davout . Moltke and McCleanAss can be 2 Ludendorff lite for 20 books . Plumer on the other hand needs 3 skill swaps and 770 , leading the common f2p players to bankruptcy .

To replace them both, it’s a 15 textbook cost, which is tolerable. |

Plumer on the other hand needs 3 skill swaps and 770 , leading the common f2p players to bankruptcy . Do remember though that aura skills don't stack, so having that on too many generals isn't optimal. McClennan sure can be Ludendorff lite for 15 books, but thats just Strike,Plain,Aura and Suprise/Tactics Master, which is still not the best setup for damage. And if you want to make McClellan to be a support Cav, Jungle is better because of mobility. I wouldn't say Jackson is a nerfed Davout, I would rather say that he is a buffed Davout. Remember, Jackson has Jungle fighting, which is the best terrain skill for Cavalry. Plumer isn't exactly the best in his original form, but he could be on par with Jackson after alert and riding master is swapped out. (though some might value alert) In Conclusion, Jackson is a bro |

Unluckily for Johnston, Plumer is now a thing and makes Johnston no longer relevant, especially of his uselessness in history mode Jackson is free. You can’t really deny a general that is free unless he gets overshadowed by a general that is also free or ridiculously cheap. And Plumer is far from being the latter. Also, they are pretty much the same performance-wise. you misunderstood Sidney Johnston as Stonewall Jackson, Jackson is still the best non IAP Cav. |

Plumer on the other hand needs 3 skill swaps and 770 , leading the common f2p players to bankruptcy . Yes, but you can skill swap in ew6 1914. If you could skill swap in ew6, Davout could be quickly made into a fantastic cavarly general (station for surprise and riding master for aura). Jackson is free where Sidney can be a second buffed Davout. Plummer is absolutely amazing once you give him strike and surprise. He’ll afterwards be Murat with edge. Mccellan is decent. But you still need to swap plain for jungle and even then he’ll be plummer w/o surprise. Which is bad. The bright side is, mccellan is a beast in history mode. Moltke is also really good as he is cheap. But as medals are plentiful, you want to eventually stop using Moltke and Mccellan, and get the elite generals like Sidney and Plummer. |
