I curre tly have Huo, Vercingetorix and Pedius. My commander is archer-specialiced. Now I am thinking of getting a second cavalry general, but I'm not sure who to get.
If I'm getting a second cavarly general, should I get Arminius, Belisarius, Antony, Tiberius or Commius. Or should I get a cavalry general at all right now?
Also, how to move on from there? I was thinking about getting Arminius > Pompey > Mithridates > Belisarius > Chen/Bato > Commius/Antony/Tuberius > Cleopatra > something.

I was thinking about getting Arminius > Pompey > Mithridates > Belisarius > Chen/Bato > Commius/Antony/Tuberius > Cleopatra > something. I'll say that you should either change your commander to a cav focused one or an infantry focused one, tho I'll recommend cavalry more. Reason being that cavalry is the most important units offense wise, and even tho infantry has more uses, cavalry is what you'll be using to capture cities and killing enemy units. As an archer, he most likely won't be deployed much, and even then he won't be doing as much compared to cavalry or infantry counterparts. Archers just are not the best, so you can get away with having pedius and trebonius as your only archers early on, then switch to Mithridates and Drusus later on. As for generals to get, I did mention some suggestions in my medal usage guide, but basically get Pompey, Belisarius, Labienus, Mithridates VI, Drusus, and maybe Antony. You can get bronze and silver generals first as slot holders, tho some bronzies like Pacorus and Flaminius definitely hold their own in late game. Early on, focus on getting more infantry and cavalry generals, 3 infantry-3 cavalry - 1 archer. Then keep getting more cavalry, and another archer. |

I agree that cavalry will be more useful, but there are more good cavalry generals than infantry generals, so wouldn't infantry be the best choive for commander? |

Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, I'd say there are more good infantry generals than cavalry, although I didn't count, so don't quote me on that. My problem with the majority of cavalry gens, atleast the gold ones, is that they lack the Golden combination, which is cavalry commander+ guerilla. Mainly, you want to increase the chance of cavalry attacking again as much as possible to give a lot more consistent result. That's why I'd argue that some silver cavalry generals are better than the gold ones simply for the fact that they have cavalry commander. Assault with cavalry commander is fine as well. Cavalry is basically a "win more" type of unit, where you want that unit to be as strong as possible so you can just bulldoze through your enemy. The best cavalry either only has cavalry commander, guerilla, or assault, or only assault and guerrilla. That is, until Belisarius. Meanwhile, infantry generals can just equip the banner of Jupiter and they already have shield wall, which is great in tandem with infantry commander. Until we get a banner that gives cavalry commander, or maybe a banner that increases the chance of cavalry to attack again after defeating a unit, then I'd say go for a cavalry commander, but infantry isn't bad as well. Pompey, Flaminius and Vercingetorix is enough to carry you until late campaigns for infantry, so why not go harder for cavalry.

Early on, focus on getting more infantry and cavalry generals, 3 infantry-3 cavalry - 1 archer. Then keep getting more cavalry, and another archer. How about items bought by medals? I read your medal usage guide, but I'm still wondering when and what items to buy with medals. I got Pompey now and I'm going to get Mithridates VI and Belisarius next, but after that should I get Drusus and Flaminius or buy items like the Consul's Scepter, Golden Spear, Laurel Crown, Art if War, Asian Uniform. I'm not quite sure are they worth the medals, for example the military map gives +3 mobility, while a cartage gives only 1 less, so is it really worth it? Another example is the Lauron Crown, which is great, but the senator ring is almost as good imo. The Golden Spear gives +15 % critic hit (crossbiw does too) and +24 damage, that is also great, but is it worth over 400 medals? |

Yes, the senator ring is a "decent" replacement, but it is not close to be as good. Laurel Crown gives you high moral ALL THE TIME. Don’t mistake me, gold rings are good as a replacement, but the problem is that you still can fall in chaos or suffer from moral debuff, and the second you get bad rng, they become useless, I, for myself, believe that the golden spear is not worth over 400 medals. An additional 24 damage is for me not worth 400 medals when compared to the crossbow, who gives the same additional crit trigger. |

What do you think about the Holy Grail, Golden Feather, Art of War and the uniforms? |

What do you think about the Holy Grail, Golden Feather, Art of War and the uniforms? The uniform, I feel that they are useless, they cost WAY too much and the buff doesn’t work as well as in other games. Holy Grail... meh. Golden feathers I feel would be great on Vercingetorix, they may be the only other item that I’ll buy (I already have laurel crown). Art of War could be cool. Only reason I would buy it over the garlics war/military map is because it takes a different type of sloth... but it still is 380 medals. |

The Golden Spear gives +15 % critic hit (crossbiw does too) and +24 damage, that is also great, but is it worth over 400 medals? Golden Spear, Laurel Crown and the military map are the ones that have the most impact(i actually forgot military map was an item you can buy for medals for some reason). Even with the new items out,they're definitely still the best. The uniforms aren't that important, although it's worth getting the uniform for cavalry if you lack Hannibal. If you have him, not necessary. In the early stages of GCR, medal was quite hard to come by, and it was more important to get generals and make them strong ASAP to beat the campaigns(which were quite difficult for some reason), so buying cheap generals like Pacorus and getting the golden spear for him, and the laurel crown for your other general is gonna help a lot. GCR is much more f2p friendly now with the updates, as you can farm like 100+ medals early game not counting campaigns and conquests and 250+ medals depending on your luck late game. So buying those items is much easier, along with getting the better silver and gold generals. |

Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, for items in general, just get the ones that give movement and damage. Ignore the uniforms(tho the one for cavalry will be useful for decisive battles), and you'll be fine.

Looks like you need cavalry. I find cavalry to be very good I put my starter general as a cavalry guy he's doin pretty well with a cross bow on him.

I suggest get Mithy. Belisarius might be a great add on but imo Mithy is better. He can deals massive damage just like Huo altho Beli also can but at start he won't have damage as high as Mithy

Ignore the uniforms(tho the one for cavalry will be useful for decisive battles), and you'll be fine. But aren't the uniforms absutely op? They add 15% damage to the unti itself and 15% to surrounding cavalry/infantry/archer/navy legions. So if I put the cavalry one on Pompey and the archer and infantry ones on Commander and Belisarius once I vet him, virtually everyone hets atleast +15% damage if they move together. Or does it work some other way? |

For 2nd Cav gen,I think you should get Belisarius.He is a really balanced cavalry and can crack cities as well.For 3rd I would suggest Antony because he is very agile and can attack frequently.Don’t go for Tiberius,he’s bad.

Unlike Ew6, I think aura skills aren’t that really great in this game.plus,Uniforms costs too much I’d rather get other items and upgrade the skills and ranks of generals. |
