This guide is intended toward new players who want to know how to get medals quickly and easily.
Want to get good generals but don't have the medals to? Then this guide is for you! I have here 3 ways to do it. 1. Conquests
I personally like 1861/1865 conquests, since they're super easy. This guide can help you: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/12019/conquest-difficulty-rankingPeru and Mexico can be autoed, and Cuba is super simple. For 1865, you'll find that France and Great Britain are incredibly easy, and Bulgaria can also be autoed. These all will reward you with lots of medals and also items and some gold too. If you know how to do them, you can also try Conquest Challenges, which awards you with more medals, but at the same time it is more difficult. 2. Campaigns
Campaigns are short, easy, but only reward you with 10 medals. However, each Campaign chapter has 15 levels, and 15x10=150. (There are also Challenge Campaigns too!) You can read a guide here european-war-4.boards.net/thread/12902/updated-ew6-1914-library if you need help! 3. Completing Achievements
Completing achievements is another great way to earn medals. They are simple, easy, and mostly require you to do something with your generals (like upgrading their ranks). Furthermore, they can also award you with items/medkits/textbooks, which will be useful as you progress and learn what they do. What General should I get?
Stuck on deciding a general to buy with your new medals? Read this: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/12018/ultimate-generals-skills-guide-whichDouglas Haig is a cheap general who also has Assault, Plains and urban bonuses, and can raise his morale. Stonewall Jackson can reach Emperor and on top of that hes OP and free! (You earn him in chapter 1) Hotzendorf is very cheap, dishes out massive amounts of damage, and has top skills. (Must-have)

Hsueh Yueh Guide about generals is outdated. As "bing" said," you should try to go for best generals directly without buying other generals, only buy intermediatery generals if it is impossible to go ahead". In Ew6 1914, it is really easy to get Ivanov and Straussenberg, so don't buy Hotzendorf unless it is impossible to proceed which isn't really the case for most players. Otherwise a great guide.

Conquest challenges are more challenging versions of Conquests like Campaign challenges are of Campaigns Like more aggresive AI, stronger and more generals? It is pretty much like wc3 conquests with small map. You will be on your own. AI will be stronger and Your allies will be weak.

Charles Huntziger, Hotzendorf nonetheless is still an extremely solid general, for the price of around 550 medals? That means he can be very easy to get early round. When I first started I used him to help me pass Franco-Prussian war and get Moltke. Ivanov and Straussenberg are great mid-game generals, but early game should be focused on cheap ones.

I completely disagree with 4th statement.

He is not endgame general imo. 2. You could also get Ivanov by that stage. 3. OK, but I used Ivanov so...

Charles HuntzigerGetting Ivanov is wasting an extra 200 medals. Hotzendorf is basically the same, hes already pretty good, just with one less skill slot. Skill slots don't matter early-game. By mid-game to late-game you'll already have enough medals to buy Ivanov AND other gens.

Charles Huntziger , Hotzendorf nonetheless is still an extremely solid general, for the price of around 550 medals? That means he can be very easy to get early round. When I first started I used him to help me pass Franco-Prussian war and get Moltke. Ivanov and Straussenberg are great mid-game generals, but early game should be focused on cheap ones. In terms of average output, Hotzendorf is not that different from Beseler and Ivanov. You won't even notice the difference. But, in the long run and in clutch situations. Hotzendorf is outclassed in mobility and maximum damage potential, especially in mountain jungle tiles, when beseler and Ivanov have replaced their plains and inspiration with jungle fighting. I have Ivanov who slightly leans toward defense and stable damage to personnel and Beseler who is 1 skill ahead in offense and city cracking, though both are good enough to do the job of the other, and I think of them as like Imperial Fists and Iron warriors and Hindenburg with Arty Commander is Iron hands. Sure, Hotzendorf on Field artillery screened by militia is very strong but I'd take beseler or ivanov on Howitzers everytime. Steady advance is good, but it begets slowness and will soon get you bogged down in attrition. "When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue. Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays. There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." -Art of War chapter 2, On waging war

Charles Huntziger, I thought Hotzendorf was a king too. Just checked and can only reach prince. Sadly, that 10% damage difference on a Krupp cannon is a whopping 12 damage which is more than half a skill already, not to mention he is already behind 1 skill. Ivanov has 50% attack and artillery expert, his average output beats Beseler. If you replace inspiration with jungle, he'll be a monster that can eat anything in jungle mountain tiles. Beseler is slightly lower than Ivanov at 48% attack, but if you replace plains with jungle, you can still maintain storm fortifications, which will slightly make him better than Ivanov vs city defense. Hotzendorf has only 40% attack with quadrant. Outclassed in nobility, mobility and ability. Even on field artillery, he barely competes with their single terrain howitzers. Hotzendorf is still better than default Hindenburg tho. Hindenburg is a really huge trap, you need at least 30 medals to make him a real good Arty general with tactics, jungle and mountain. I think beseler is probably the best carrier of arty commander, just replace mountain fighting with it. Now that I thought of it, Beseler has potential to be a much better Hotzendorf with a screen of +20 damage mortars rather than militia.

Yes, agree on everything except for Haig and Hotzendorf. There are just better gens out there. Also, grinding cuban war of independence is quite profitable as you can get multiple artilley expert medals, and its very easy to do.
