Yes, I have been playing GCR for some times now. It’s should be time I start being active on this part of the forum. I currently have 213 medals, am still trying to beat battle of Mutina (should be doable) and haven’t started the hardest missions of Eastern,, empire. I only have done 1 conquest (Rome in the Punics war), finished the gaul expeditions and am stuck on the decisive battles of Gaul. My team currently consists of: Archery focused commander, Pacorus, Drusus, Pompey, Antony ( Gerd von Rundstedt I won’t sell him) and labienus. What style I do next (vote in pole and reply and under pls)
Poll added by Nobunaga Oda.

Honestly, I would say to sell Labienus for any Gold infantry. Labienus dies super easily. After that, I would sell Pacorus for Belisarius.

Labienus can be replaced by fort cracker Crassus or the defensive Vercingetorix. Either keep Pacorus and get Belisarius or sell Pacorus to get Belisarius. Keeping Pacorus means having one more gen to spare in Decisive Battle and sending gens on Daily Missions. I recommend keeping him. If your Commander is not up to task yet, either upgrade him or invest in Mithridates. Upgrading Commander will benefit you during the Sicilly campaign series as you can count on his raw naval *s. I didn't need Agrippa or Cleopatra for a basic clear of Sicilly and their hybrid skill sets mean that they're not the best on land, but can still perform. |

I didn't need Agrippa or Cleopatra for a basic clear of Sicilly and their hybrid skill sets mean that they're not the best on land, but can still perform. I already tried Vercingetorix and didn’t find him that great. I do agree that Labienus is easy to kill, but I really like it’s ability to do more damage to archers. That the main reason I bought him. For the city cracking, my commander got seige lvl 3, which does the job well. I’m not sure to want Crassus, I think he lacks a little to much in the damage department. My commander is literally still a “commander”. Maybe lvl him up would be a good idea. Just like messe in WC4, I’m too attached to Pacorus to sell him. I think I’ll go with Belisarus, but you can still try to convince me of else. Also, thank you for putting the poll, idk why but the option to put it wasn’t there. |

I think that Belisarius, Mithridates and Crassus are all good choices and the order in which to get them doesn't make a huge difference.
Belisarius because he can make use of the high morale critical hits combination provided by tripod or laurel crown and your cavalry department seems to be the weakest link.
Mithridates because your commander lacks in ranks to grant him a decent passive damage multiplier and even with a gold ring he can use "hit often and hit critical" mechanics
Crassus if you plan to do a lot of conquests (he does fine on swordsman) and because the defensive infantry role is already partially covered by Pompey (shield wall rocks). And city cracking skill are always useful, even in decisive battles when there are forts.
If you plan on farming decisive battles I'd also advise against putting too much medals into your commander now. The reason is that with 4-5 battles in a row and AI controlling you units you'll probably loose some of your generals along the way. Of course it's possible to restart and reposition so this doesn't happen but it's very time consuming making it easier if you work on your reserve players. |

I would actually recommend Labienus for Burebista. Archer control is what you said you needed, you are weakest on infantry, and he is all round a great gen even when not dealing with Archers.

I had never taught of Burebista. Thx for pointing him out for me. But I still think I’ll keep Labienus for the moment, and if I ever feel unsatisfied with him I’ll just sell him and buy Burebista |

Gerd von Rundstedt , Nobunaga Oda , jonblend , UPDATE ON THE SITUATION!!! I got 580 medals, and I only have the decisive battle of Philippi left before the Sicilian rebellion.

Belisarius followed by a Commander upgrade. Even without Agrippa or Cleopatra, a basic clear is possible.
Your Commander needs to get stronger before End of the Republic. The Battle of Modon mission is a DPS-blitzkrieg type of mission and your gens need to be strong to overcome it.

I only missed the perfect of one mission by 3 turn |

I don’t even know how I managed to beat it 2*. It was the most scuffed victory I ever got |
