Got Pacorus and am thinking of Agrippa. He is (perhaps) the best navy, making conquests easier, and is also an awesome infantry, in addition, he starts as a general. What do you'll think?

Pompey or Crassus instead. You don't need a gen with navy skills, except in certain Expedition battles and the few naval battles in Campign. The raw dmg from the *s alone is usually enough. |

Pompey is really an excellent first "major" general, but Crassus is really good at what we are doing most of the time - namely taking cities. And both have 2 skills we are able to strengthen with only one flag.
They are pretty close, imo.

He is also a great "marines" infantry, too, and will save me money on Cleo. |

Any other Opinions? I want to really get a good Hybrid above the rank of Legatus, because the next time I will this many medals is far in the future. Also, should I sell Pacorus?

Why on earth do you want to sell Pacorus now  ? You may sell him after you purchase 4 or 5 generals and his services are no longer required... |

Is it the most urgent goal to buy a hybrid? I don't think so. You need really good generals notwithstanding they are hybrids or not. Pompey is a very capable general, able to lead any unit. But you will deploy him as an Infantry General most of the time. Why? Because he can help you most that way. |

What think you of a path like this: Pacorus, Pompey, Mith IV, Agrippa, Sell Pacorus for Arminius, Crassus, Surena, Marc Antony? Agrippa is a fairly mediocre Infantry General and 95 percent of all battles are land battles. See battles are not only rare bat not especially challenging as well. So if you want to loose 2 skills important on land and to gain 2 skills important in the see, you have to take this into account. Surena isn't a great option either, in my opinion. First, both he and Mithridates should outnumber enemies to deal additional damage. But on practice your troops will be outnumbered most of the time. It is still possible to keep Mithridates at full strength sometimes, but to keep 2 Archer generals at full strength is extremely difficult because of limited resources. Second, street fighting is a decent skill, but hardly anything more than that. And, third, Marksman is an absolutely useless skill. So, Surena is inferior to both Octavian and Drusus. Otherwise the plan is quite good  |

Otherwise the plan is quite good 1. I will get rid of Agrippa. I thought he would be good for Campaign and Expedition. 2. I think that I will either keep Surena, or use Octavian. I have already layed out my Arguement for Surena in the Surena Discussion, and although he is inferior to Octavian, he is (I would say) better at his job, namely as a mopper of stray units, or sentry duty. |

Actually cavalry is the best mopper because of a chance to attack again after destroying a unit. Surena can't hit hard like Drusus nor is he able to attack again like Octavian. I am trying to think of how useful Surena could be, but really don't see it. But it is, of course, up to you to decide. In the end we are gaining experience as players by trying different options and by making our own decisions. |

In the end we are gaining experience as players by trying different options and by making our own decisions. By then, I will have gained enough experience to make an educated decision. By now, Surena likes me more than Deleted. Also, what is an easy Conquest? |

Also, something I do with all of my customizable gens is, because I am F2P, make them into IAPs. Which one do you suggest my commander be?
