Title is self explanatory. In the last run I had before the update, I got stuck because I was being kinda random. Now, I actually have a battle plan (maybe). I am getting a CavCom fleet of generals.
I decided on this just as I was going into the last campaign of the Classical Age on this run. I already have gotten Atilla (thank the welcome back medals for that) and Asoka. I already had Genghis Khan as an IAP, so yay for that.
I also won't really be buying much equipment for my generals to save up resources for other things, (like more generals).

I don't see the point in restarting if you already have Atilla, Asoka & GK? The only real reason to restart is if you've wasted all your medals and got stuck, and would rather take the time to play and get back to the same point instead of using the free medals from the daily missions to recover. Have you upgraded to get Legend mode yet? That may help you decide if it's worth restarting or sticking with it. |

I don’t think one would use these guys (especially Asoka) unless you’re planning to use CavCom. |

If it were me, I wouldn't. Spend enough time farming Daily Missions and you can always rebuild your dream team.
That is, if you are patient enough to farm over a long while.
If you feel that you messed up very badly and you can blitz through the start back to where you are now, then go ahead.

I am pretty sure that EW5 is the most balanced out of all ET games. We had a thread about generals actively used by players who could beat the game, namely clear all Empire battles. The number was amazing. I can't say precisely but almost a third of all generals has an endgame potential - it is unheard-of in other games. But since we can use only 8 generals in campaigns and missions we always have (in chess terminology) a "space left behind". By choosing one path we close many other tempting doors, and gaining in one area we are ALWAYS loosing something instead. I completed the game once with Attila, Black Prince, Asoka and Blucher, but it really wasn't a piece of cake... And probably I can say that my Infantry and Archer teams were easier and less stressful to manage. Many endgame opponents have overpowering bonuses against cavalry, we should keep that in mind while building up our team...

stoic, did you also finish the game with infantry team? Yes, it was my first run when only andrei, Singlemalt and I decided to beat Volgograd or to die trying  european-war-4.boards.net/thread/6183/finaly-beat-volgograd?page=1Caesar, Barbarossa and Peter the Great were in my first team most of the time, and I used Alex as well as my artillery general in disguise together with LiShimin in several missions... I didn't have a single cavalry general back then... |

And here is that thread link although I'd say it's nearer half that have been used to endgame already. |

Funny thing about EW5 is that with its high medal income from Daily Missions at the endgame, you can actually rebuild your entire lineup if ypu are patient enough.
That's what I did on my 1.5th run which, sadly, got wiped out. Still haven't cleared the Campaigns, even then, because I was more preoccupied with the other ET games.
That's why I don't recommend restarts here or in most ET games if you get stuck. A bit of grinding tends to solve the issue.

You mean EW5 probably, because in EW6 grinding was a pain at the beginning as well as at the end  |

EW6: 1914 isn't too bad in terms of farming Daily Missions, actually. EW6: 1804 and EW4 are indeed quite on par in terms of the grind, but EW6: 1804 has the bonus income of Daily Missions. |

Well, I still have EW6 1806 installed just in case and I am doing daily missions from time to time, but rewards are not that great in comparison to Netherlands' runs |
