I agree on most thinks with you but 1: e.lee should be purple because he really is a bit beter 2: Moltke: I know you and bing/Moltke love him but he really isn’t that great and yes you can make him decent but medals aren’t really a problem in this game. 3: Ivanov is not treated fair, he’s better then Beseler and he also needs only one skill changed to be perfect: inspiration. The perfect arty built in my opinion is: storm fortifications, tactics master, salvo, mountain fighting and artillery expert. Why? Because the mobility makes Beseler and Ivanov great Hey lumen, I personally did not put e lee as purple as I seem him as being marginally better than borevic and haig. His maximum rank of emperor most of us can ignore due to how expensive it is to get there. His battle ability is not much higher than either of the two. He also needs 2 skills changed. That and he is no straussenberg. I agree that he is very good though. If medals are not an issue, than moltke should be blue I agree. I’ll fix that by exactly adding this comment to his review. But if you want to cheap out, moltke starts off pretty powerfully if counterattack is swapped for plain fighting. But I do agree that sidney johnson and joffre maybe worth getting over moltke for end game. I personally enjoyed plain fighting more on my artillery, but if mountain fighting is your preference than you can as you say make ivanov a top tier general very easily. But you also have to pay attention to Beseler who essentially starts off being capable of doing both. I’ll be sure to note that though in his review. I don't think that storm fortifications is a must skill, cracking cities is not an issue in this game. Put arty expert on Beseler instead of storm fortifications and he will be demigod with max mobility and highest dmg possible on arty. |

He can be good but he starts off not that great imo. Counterattack, Landfort, Artillery master (which is good but there are far better artillery skills). Handy for History mode. Speaking of which. I really think that should be a factor when judging a general. I also want to hear what you gotta say about the japs. I agree wholeheartedly. |

Hmm what exactly does artillery expert do again? Did it get an update? From what I discerned in previous threads its description was ambiguous and enigmatic, where combat efficiency could denote a multitude of meanings.

I think it means + % damage that is simply overpowered. It makes skills like salvo seem like a joke. |

and if you place both side by side it brings about huge boosts to any general. A new must-have now that we fully grasp its meaning  |

Storm fortification is a joke when compared to the two and a terrain bonus. Its the best on artillery. Infantry and navy is capped at 10%, and cavarly 15% I believe. |

Well if you mash all those skills together you will have an unstoppable general Would you rather place mf or pf on an artillery general though? Mountains seem kind of scarce |

But plain is the easiest to use so it is also a fantastic bonus.

I currently have most of my artillery generals on plain, so when the Android update comes I dont think its going to affect my skill choices much. Jungles for artillery can indeed come in handy when you want to engage cities as jungles sure are abundant, and can be great cover when attacking enemy heavy artillery

Nevermind, Sidney Johnson still manages to sneak his way into the pink tier. Even though he has 2 unideal skills, the only two generals who can hold a candle to a maxed Sindey is Jackson and Plummer. And ludendorf is you bought him.

And ludendorf is you bought him. McClellan is once again shoved into the shadows... I think its only accurate too considering how he was initially strangely overpowered |

Hotzendorf was barely affected. McCellan on the other hand had a huge fall from grace. Even though if you replace edge with surprise, he will be a murat for a very cheap price. You can still purchase him if you want to be a hack. |
