Salve gregales!
just immigrating from good old EW4 there’re a lot of basic things to understand. I apologize in advance for the mass of noob questions. For most theres probably a thread, but I didn’t find it. I’m fine when each of you can answer one or just gives a link to an answering thread.
1. Daily tasks: I’ve read about it, but where do I find them? [solved]
2. Senat: is it best to upgrade all, or better focus on one facility first? Or save the gold for anything else?
3. Missions offered by Senat: what missions? [solved]
4. General’s level: Has the rise of level any effect beside gaining capability points? What’s the max level? [solved]
5. Rank: each has a waiting time after recruiting a certain number of legions. What does that waiting time mean? [solved]
6. Investing medals: I guess it’s better to save the medals(?) for more generals before investing in rank-up and skills, right? [solved]
7. Expedition: When playing the first stage the gen’s level bar rises and get 200 stars rewarded. What are these stars? What is the final reward when you finish the expedition?
8. Regeneration: facilities show a “city recover”. I know damaged existing unit can be refilled in a military camp. But do legions also heal by sitting in a city? [solved]
9. Strategie: is the waiting time after use the same for all strategies? How many rounds is it? [solved]
10. Technologie: so much options, I have no clue. Does research only apply for one campaign or conquest? [solved]
11. Research points: How do I gain research points, or is it fixed for each campaign? [solved]
12. Unit training in Senat: What does “retrain” mean, refund or gold is lost?
Thanks for helping! Nec scire fas est omnia. (Horaz)

Also a bit noobish at this game but I can help with a few.
1) Daily Tasks can be completed in the Senate and refresh a few times a day.
3) The missions don't cost gold. If you meet the requirements, they give gold and medals.
4) General level gives you capability points which allow you to increase their ability in infantry, cavalry, archer, or ships. The max level of the generals is varied but your no-skilled general is maxed at lvl 45.

Where is the button? Edit: Gotcha! It’s in the menu right side, below the tactics training. Please excuse my blindness. |

(Horaz) 5:A general with high rank can get to a bigger stack faster, and rank also unlocks the 4 and 5 stack of legions 6: Yes, imo skills are expensive. Go to senate and watch ads every day and with patience you may suddenly realize that you have enough medals to buy a top tier general. Or spend money. 7: The stars after beating a location can help you buy stuff like ships and troops (at certain locations). I haven't been able to beat the first one even though I am kind of decently far into the game because I always screw up the managing of the stars. 8: I believe they do, there is a barbarian thing that increases it but in general you won't get much hp back from healing, just from adding another stack to the legion/ 9: I usually use arson destroy and training (1 turn) forced march (2 turns) and olympic is 3 turns. 10: I believe it applies to everything, the mobility does. 11: At market things you can build a library which gives research. Upgrading cities naturally gives research. |

5. You can move them around and use them to attack. It just means that you need to wait 2 more rounds until a new legion can reinforce 10. If you're talking about upgrading units in the Senate menu, they stick around until you reset the upgrades. You need to upgrade a specific building to unlock further research for that unit. You can use this guide to solve a few more questions such as what to upgrade and more european-war-4.boards.net/thread/11323/general-guide-free-play-players |

The ads changed everything. 9: olympic isn't really useful unless you have a massive military. It has a niche that it can be useful in though 10: Oof I though you meant training. The research is on a single to single campaign/conquest basis. 11: Culture points get you technology which if researched give you research points. |

You can construct buildings which give you plus 50% culture per city, this is actually very handy as destroy, inspire, march, and forced march are very useful tactics.
Skills are very expensive, but some are also very good for cheap, i recommend upgrading skills that are under 35 medals and are very strong. For example, jungle fighting siege and intercept are all very powerful skills, and in fact the best skills in the game for cheap. Shield wall is another good example.
If you want more information on generals, I have recently created a guide which covers which generals are must buys and which ones are terrible (ex. surena who constantly gets roasted on this thread).
If you need to know which skills and talents are good or bad, I have also created a thread for this if you keep digging on this forum. It has some minor flaws (such as advantage, sailor, assault, and roar being better than they are creddited for. In reality, they are must have skills, being top 4 or top 5 skills at worst for their respective class).
There is also a thread here where people share how they created the free commander that they recieved. Personally I tried all builds except for the cavarly build. Imo either the cavarly or archery build is the way to go as infantry has the gallicus uniform which can be given to a strong general like pompey. I would try the cavarly build as it seems op.
Good luck!

Oh and also, in this game much, the cheap generals are very good as medals are very hard to come by through ads and daily missions alone. They can also be very strong (ex Pacorus) and have a 95% refund rate (0% on the scrolls invested though).
But you should only grab 2 or 3 before going for the elite generals. The best of the free generals are pacorus (very best), pedius, varus, dellius, and dolabella.

Of cours I’ve read your general and skill reviews (should be pinned) and some other stuff, before doing one step. I got everybody’s darling Pacorus right from the start and did the Roman part of Punic war yesterday. Now I need an Archer, which will be your choice Pedius, since Drusus is still 270 medals away. |

Good luck! For the start I made my commander an infantry. In Punic war there’s always a strong default cavalry gen with me, Scipio or Hannibal and not always an available archer army. This might change in the Spartacus campaign. As long as I used no scrolls on him I can reset his capability points and switch to archer or Cav. Must read more to decide. Btw., my inventory is full of I. scrolls for every unit. Is this a free starter pack? I also have three II. scrolls in there, maybe from captured yellow circled cities in the Punic war. helmsman II, Escort II and Raid II., which would fit on Pacorus. Should I upgrade him or save it for my commander, in case I make him a Cavalry too? |

Should I upgrade him or save it for my commander, in case I make him a Cavalry too? Thats perfectly fine to be indecisive. What I would do is still put jungle fighting and siege on your commander as those are very powerful and cheap skills. Which you upgrade easily to lvl 4 just with daily mission farming. Yes, in gcr you are given a scroll for every unit type at the start so you can start customizing your commander as soon as you get him. You can also turn him into a hybrid that is good on all 4 units by giving him universal skills (the best are siege, jungle, march, and counterattack) as well as equally distributed abilities in each field. Its fine to make pacorus lvl 2 guerilla and dump all of the raid scrolls on him (that is a pretty bad skill anyway). Escort is another bad skill. You can remove any skill you put on your free commander (but losing all of the scrolls invested). I |

Pedius is very strong for cheap. He has a powerful talent which will rumor enemies after you flank them and chip away at their legions. I think he is a must buy personally. You get a 95% discount anyway so why not. Give him an output item and he will get the job done till drusus. |

I got Pacorus and then went for Mithradates --> Pompey --> Antony Early on I feel like Archers are useful. Just my opinion though. |
