Hi all - or anone that still uses this forum! I know that this question has probably been done to death, but i need help with what to spend my medals on.
I have ~3200 banked - almost enough to buy Blucher. I was saving up to get him but the more i read on this forum the less certain I am about whether i want him or someone else, or whether i should be upgrading my current generals.
My current lineup:
Saladin L50 - L2 assault master; L3 Logistics; L2 Attack Expert
Genghis L50 - L1 Assault master; L3 braveness; L1 Marshal
Washington L49 - L1 Sniper Master; L1 Logistics; L1 Defence Master
Attila L49 - L1 CavCom; L3 Braveness; L1 Attack Master
Nobunaga L49 - L2 Sniper; L2 Leadership; L2 Spy
Cleopatra L48 - L3 Explosive Expert; L1 Rumor; L1 Inspiration
My other two for missions requiring 8 generals are Alexander (L40) and Hannibal (L30), but i try and avoid using them and don't really plan on upgrading them.
I am in the process of getting Bismarck from hamburg but that may take a bit of time.
So i can pretty much get anyone but don't know whether to get Blucher or Nelson, or someone else.
Any ideas or thoughts?
,Thanks.

First things first, what kind of endgame lineup are you aiming for?
By the looks of your current lineup, it looks like your aiming for a cav oriented lineup.
It's been a while, but I recommend that you should progressively max out Attila's Cav Com skill as it is necessary for your cav team.
Depending on who you would usually send to lead the charge or launch solo attacks, you should focus on the survivability skill of that gen. This means Logistics for Washington and/or Saladin OR Brave for Attila and/or Genghis.
I'm a bit out of touch, but if you usually march your cav gens together and want them to gain resistance to all attacks, then Blücher is your choice.
If you want to defend your gens against archers specifically, you may consider Catherine who gains an anti-archer unit skill at 6*.
For Cleopatra, unless you really want to keep her, I recommend Li Shimin or Bismarck as a replacement arty gen.
At 6*, he regains his unit ability to deal AOE dmg and set tiles on fire. He also has Logistics and naturally hits hard.
Bismarck is great at 5*, given his unit skill which prevents counterattack and his Rumour.

Thanks for that. Tbh I'm not sure what kind of line up I want. I had been leaning towards a cavalry one, but I reckon that is probably a lot to do with me playing EW4 a lot, where cavalry was king. Reading this forum there seem to be a lot of people saying archers are best, which has made me uncertain over what to do next.
I also see a lot of people saying that Blucher can replace Saladin, but that seems bonkers to me at the moment because Saladin does more damage than my other cavalry guys. If anything, i'd say that Genghis would be the one to miss out. Saladin is also the one i send in the lead the charge, sometimes with Washington as well, while my other generals go as a team.
I'm definitely going to get Bismarck (eventually) to replace Cleopatra. Would you recommend Li-Shimin as well, to have two artillery generals?
If i were to get another archer, would Nelson be the one?
I suspect that eventually i'll end up getting both Blucher and another archer (Nelson?). I guess then the question is whether i keep all my cavalry generals (Genghis, Saladin, Attila, Blucher) in my main lineup or whether I drop one of those and have 2 artillery ones.
So:
Genghis
Saladin
Attila
Blucher
Washington
Nobunaga
Archer(Nelson?)
Bismarck
or
Genghis
/Saladin
Attila
Blucher
Washington
Nobunaga
Archer(Nelson?)
Bismarck
Li-Shimin
??
Also, just bought Catherine as i had plenty of gold. Is she really an end-game general though?

Sorry for the late reply, juliuscaesar. While archer lineups are indeed popular, cav lineups have receive a lot of positive feedback as well. Typically, you'll be able to have a nice hybrid team such that you'll be able to incorporate the best of both worlds anyway so don't worry too much about your choice of an endgame lineup. If you want a 2nd arty gen, I personally vouch for Li Shimin. He has AOE dmg for normal attacks at 6* with Logistics for survivability. With him smashing through forts and castles alike, he is a great pick. Nelson is a recommended pick. I believe stoic can comment more on his utility. At 6*, she is the best (and possibly, the only) anti-archer gen who has an anti-archer atk bonus. If you really need anti-archer offensive power to protect your cav gens, she is a wise choice to have. |

Any ideas or thoughts? ,Thanks. Definitely get moctezuma. He is very very good. For starters once maxed he can heal 450 hp in 3 turns, hitting a radius of 3 around him. So he is very handy for conquest and campaigns. Secondly, he has leadership which will reduce enemy attack by 50%. He is an absolute beast and is very cheap to boot., The other general i would recommend is caesar. Caesar has great damage, good survivability, and like moctezuma, can also heal 450 hp over a 3 hex radius in 3 turns. But he unlike moctezuma is very very expensive. I’d say he is the other great choice. Blucher will be a better saladin when maxed, with greater damage, rumor, and a defensive buff. He is much better. Nelson is not a must have, but will be pretty good. If you put him with moctezuma, conquest will be a breeze. He is not fantastic though till industrial. So i’d say do not rush in getting him. |

I’d say getting moctezuma and maxing him would be a next great step. With how few healing items there are, he will make conquest about 1/3 as hard.

To complete Volgograd Nelson is a must...
I completed it once without Nelson, but it was insanely difficult and I knew exactly what I was doing. I don't believe Catherine has an endgame potential. Mocty or Jhansi are far more viable...

Also, just bought Catherine as i had plenty of gold. Is she really an end-game general though? I know this is a bit late, but fwiw: Unless you have your heart set on CavCom I'd recommend the following: Genghis Saladin Attila Washington Nobunaga Nelson Li Hong Zang Bismarck/Li Shimin Archer lineup is easier than cavalry and Nelson & Li's commander skills will give a real boost to GW & Nobby, but if you were to swap Blucher for LHZ then it would still be strong enough to complete the game but take a bit longer imo. . Two artillery gens is useful for the odd mission but most of the time one is sufficient. |
