Eve of War is probably the most hellish level to perfwct clear in the whole game, until you trigger the right things.

I am at the Sicilian Rebellion. Last I saw Sextuxs Pompey was at the last level of the Caesar Civil War and now we finally face him again. I think I will get Arminius. He feels like a safe option.   |

The list of "endgame material" in this game is as follows: Infantry: Pompey, Vercingetorix, Crassus, Bato, Labienus Cavalry: Belisarius, Antony, Arminius, Huo, Commius Archer: Mithridates, Octavian, Drusus Navy: Cleopatra, Agrippa Other generals are not as good. Didn't include Aetius because he unlocks in late game. For your second cavalry, everyone else other than Belisarius has their pros and cons. So there isn't a definitive safe pick here. Same for infantry and archers. It's somewhat irritating but that is part of the charm of GCR. |

There has been a continuous story and this campaign feels like the climax. This campaign has huge implications, the victory of Octavian will lead to the end of the Roman Republic and start of the Roman Empire, and well the name is dramatic. Mark Antony has had a interesting role in the game, we first saw him as another general during Caesar's campaigns. Once the story follows Octavian, Antony became a major figure and lead his own army. For a time he became a central enemy and then we were allies with him for a time. Now we face him in a final showdown for the fate of Rome. He is arguably one of the most significant characters in this game.   |

Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, Right I should get around to switching my commander to cavalry soon. To to sustain any general losses in DB I will probably get one more general for each unit type.

My forces did a smooth advance to Alexandria and finished off Antony last. I wonder how the difficulty scales up from here, now I am in the last quarter of the campaign. The campaign I am really looking forward to is Strike From the Han Dynasty. I finally want to face the Han Dynasty.    |

The Han Dynasty vs the Roman Empire has always been one of the most discusses what if scenarios so it only seems fitting EasyTech added this scenario in the game. This scenario seems somewhat grounded as rather then a direct conflict the background is the romans intervening in a han invasion of Parthia. I have a good idea of what generals to get next. Octavian is the only other endgame archer. I am not keen on getting Crassus for his city attacking ability. So my next infantry general will be Labienus or Bato.   |

best75, I would suggest Labienus over Bato. NGL, Bato is literally a worse Vergincetorix but with movement. However, Labienus has more versatility. Intercept makes him hit hard on archers and infantry commander is a great skill, while plain fighting adds damage to the mix. Bonus, If you give him the banner of Jupiter, it’ll make him even stronger. He is the one I use on woad raiders, who are available when you play the Han campaigns. For Octavian, I donc think you need another archer other than cleopatra, even more so if you keep your commander archer focused (which I did not and do not suggest, cavalry is the BEST).

That means Bato is the same as Pompeius, a worse, but faster Vercingetorix  |
