basil is the strongest gold cav general, you should not regret buying him, he will help you now. any thoughts about “headhunting” active skill? As torvestareborn said, “outburst” is the real nuke (even Totila can kick *Auto corrected* with that skill). Headhunting is only second to “outburst” , notwithstanding the max damage( but only starting by the first enemy unit, when attcking). |

basil is the strongest gold cav general, you should not regret buying him, he will help you now. Yes, but Hardrada on Vikings is just lit as fire. My Basil is not as strong as Alfred, strangely. I put on the bizantine emperor , Richard’s crown (which I’m slowing farming) and maybe the blue lance. The thing I don’t like of this game is the level of skills which I can’t upgrade as pleased. |

Somewhat disagree. Harald is too specialized to be called the best. His skill set limits him to only 4 kinds of units, with none of then being counter infantry.

His skill set limits him to only 4 kinds of units, with none of then being counter infantry. he is the best because the only levels that matter are the legend missions which are the most difficult and in those missions you can spawn generals with premade units (so you can put whatever units you want, for harald it would be varangian because they are the best melee units.) If you are going to disagree, then name the alternative and give reasons. I've compared with the other top generals and i judged them all fairly. The charge skill that harald has makes him deal crazy damage that kills enemy in 1 hit. The only options for melee infantry is harald and otto for f2p, beowolf is the iap version of harald. You need both melee infantry and counter infantry generals. You can't have 1 general for both melee and counter. The best counter infantry general is robert the bruce or cesar (IAP) followed by william wallace who are not attainable now. |

I do agree that Harald is the best non-IAP melee infantry but El Cid might also have the potential(but why not put him on archer?). For a non-specialized infantry, maybe Belisarius (since his equipement seems to be IAP)? I'm not sure how hard will the campaigns be in the future, if they are still easier in than legends then we should stick to getting specialized generals. |

For a non-specialized infantry, maybe Belisarius (since his equipement seems to be IAP)? I'm not sure how hard will the campaigns be in the future, if they are still easier in than legends then we should stick to getting specialized generals. el cid is an infantry/range hybrid but his specific unit is range (conquistador infantry) so he can't be compared with harald. El cid is more useful in campaign missions because he is more versatile rather than specialised but campaign is easier than legend or other special missions. Also el cid's active skill which is charge doesn't work with his specific units or any melee units, only cav or viking axe units which have built in charge %, and he doesn't have any skills for cav or axe units. Overall el cid is disappointing. The only other option like i said is otto, he has skills for melee sword units (can be used in campaign) and his specific units are teutonic swordsmen which are pretty strong. your only options are harald and otto but harald with vangarian guard hits much harder than any other melee infantry general (even otto) mainly because of charge. Vangarian units have 35% chance to trigger charge whereas most other infantry units don't have this at all or very low, and harald has the charge skill which guarantees it for 1 round. At the end of the day, harald is the only viable option because the varangian axe units are just much stronger than other melee. You can buy otto if you want as he can be used more in campaigns (sword melee rather than axe) but you have belisarius already. No other general apart from beowolf replaces harald but he is iap. |

You could put a counter infantry or melee infantry in front of 2 range units yes but that doesnt replace harald. Harald is far superior and el cid will never be able to do the same damage.
If you are talking about range generals, you must have genghis khan +/or saladin, justinian (although not the best range general and isn't specialised - 39 in all range, cav and infantry) is op as consul which is important for doing auto conquests so you can farm millions of gold. you will need lots of gold to buy items from the shop (which you can reset using download and upload trick). You need to always buy strong units like varangian guards or noble cav at this stage, buy medical tent or support charriot, gear and recruitment scrolls, wardrums, mithril bars etc.
El cid or edward the black prince could be the third range general, it's just sad that you will never be able to use el cid's charge skill.

Personally, Beowulf would be the best with his Unique Equipment
I have his Equipment fully upgraded with the War Axe, let him command the Nordic Heavy Axeman and he can get up to an insane 2K+ dmg with his skill on.
