Does his double-attack work with this artifact? I mean secondary targets... I don't think so ... ( he is upgraded to 5 stars, but didn't notice anything before ) . Oh, it will be a pleasant surprise then  At 6 stars he will receive an amazing ability - mass fire. That means around 50 percent additional damage to all targets... |

Yes, Nobunaga with this item deals insane damage on his own . Now I'm saving medals for Nelson, but with the 40% buff from Jhansi he can deal up to >2000 to the most powerfull enemy(high hp and defense) ( the item is upgraded only to lv 4 ). It could also be an option for an Artillery gen ... Does his double-attack work with this artifact? I mean secondary targets... Just tested it out. No it does not work with the secondary attacks. |

His bonus damage only work on main target and only 50% of his atk,not 200%. And I give Nobunaga the Mistletaninn which give some regen HP and special skill works on 7 targets with lower percentage damage increase. |

It is the first time, btw, I installed GP version. I am not entirely sure how GP competition system works, but let's see whether we can bit other players...  I noticed this too when I re-installed, it appears that 3,339,500 is the maximum as I still have my original game on another device and am ranked 999th with the same score. Perhaps it will be possible to beat with the new updates, or perhaps not. Heh. Never checked ranks for EW5. I'm 14th. Does it mean I was 14th to complete the game on Android?  |

To be pedantic (I have a reputation to uphold in that respect) I'd say it probably means you were 14th to complete it while logged into Google Play. Having said that though anybody else who wants to claim 14th for themselves will have a hard time proving it  |

I figured it was more polite to discuss my team here in my own thread rather than to continue to derail the other one linkI'm pinching your idea of the field hospital stoic but I'm going to try and incorporate Joan into it, and as it's infantry based Caesar has to be in it too, so possibly something like this: Inf: Caesar, Barbarossa, Alex, Joan/Peter/Xerxes Cav: Saladdin Arch: Mocte/Nobby Art: Koxinga/Bismarck I seriously doubt I'll be able to carry both Joan & Xerxes all the way, but perhaps one of them... Anyway these are my thoughts at the start but infantry units are the ones I have the least experience with, and decisions will have to be taken along the way based on tactical necessities, so I thought it would be interesting (for me at least!) to see how the actual final lineup compares to these initial ideas. I really doubt about Koxinga... His price is high enough, but he isn't as good as LiShimin. You proved me wrong with Saladin though Your doubts were well founded. I took him for a test drive in Volgograd and.... well, to call him poor would be generous. |

I've given up on Joan, she brings nothing apart from cure master and that's just not enough. Current intention: Caesar, Barbarossa, Richard, Xerxes, Peter Nelson, Nobunaga Li Shimin Infantry are too vulnerable to cavalry so I need to be able to deal with them, and the lack of range and mobility is also a challenge, hence Nelson & Nobby. |

Caesar is very expensive, but he's also boss, and I've never used a healer in my final team. I've also bought him already and feel obliged to stick with him Whether he's worth the expense though is of course debatable. Personally I'd always thought not, but I'll give my final opinion after I've finished this run. As for Petain, I was considering him but stoic and I have a thing where we try and add new names to the final lineups that are used to complete the game, and he had the idea of Petain long before I did (see here) so in the interests of maintaining the British reputation for fair play I felt obliged to find another way If I were going for the strongest InfCom team I'd probably base it on Barbarossa, Petain, Richard & Peter, but where's the fun in that? |

Feel free to use Petain as you wish it I still don't know what to do with my artifacts and this dilemma alone can influence my eventual decisions. And since Petain is a better version of Xerxes you can replace one with another with better results. I personally like to take a different route now than I was intended before. I would like to build up a team around artifacts. I think they might be quite powerful (how 400% could not be), but yet, at the same time, not everyone might be equipped with them. And most of the generals I planned to hire won't profit greatly from them. That makes it really interesting, I would rather say exciting And honesty speaking Petain can't help me to solve this puzzle... |

I actually tempted to upgrade Hannibal. This great name wasn't on our list of endgame generals. But Grugnir could change it. If damage from his passive ability and artifact stack he might be the best Infantry destroyer in the game, second only to Khan. His "defence expert" skill increases his overall defence up to purple standards. He has Bravenes to use Grugnir without being counterattacked and, since he has Mobility, he can refill his rage bar faster than many others. But, as I said, it is only a theory now...
He might be even better than Suleiman with Grugnir, because Suleiman doesn't have any bonus against particular unit types... But Hannibal has Stomp - insane damage increase against infantry...

Yeah the artefacts do present us with a new dilemma as you don't want to have to choose between them and a general's active skill, and if you happen to have 4 complete legendary sets then that further muddies the waters. I think once we figure them out then ultimately it should open the door to including previously overlooked generals, but only time will tell. If you're not going to use him then I might go for Petain if I can't make it work with Xerxes, but that decision is still a long way off at the moment |

Moreover my thoughts are based on presumption that artifacts work exactly like that: damage from artifact plus damage from ability. But as we have seen in case of LiShimin it was a wrong presumption. We have to investigate this matter a bit further... |

But there is an excellent YouTube channel "Kings and generals", and they released an episode about his exploits |

So, after all I decided to use two generals with a narrow specialisation: Hannibal and Catherine. Both are great historic figures, so I hope they pass this exam as well  Iron Duke, it is almost sure, that I won't use Petain now, so it's up to you whether to use him or not  |
