![]()  This Simeon on 2 noble cavalry is stronger in attack compared to Alfred (in defense is another thing, but all the mythrill invested leaves me just like after a pyrrhic victory...). And remember that he can even charge in the mud! (aka swamps). We are in the 1.4 version of the game, though. EDIT: This intro is clearly outdated (except for the magnific benefits of "outburst" as an active skill). Sadly he has become too expensive for the benefits offered and the king is no longer more strong than many, if not one of the least chargin' cavalry gens. However I still use Simeon on Territory with lvl 15 Noble Cavalry and he performs on par, if not better, than a Friederick without his unique item. Let's hope for a future buff. This thread still aims to compare every cav gen's strenght, notwithstanding unpopular opinions. For more tests, scroll above till the end of the pages where more recent results are given. |

That's the point of "Charge cavalry expert skill". Simeon's job is to hit and to annihilate an enemy, to retreat, to hire other charge cavalry units and to hit again. My guess is that even Richard can't stay under fire for long. Cavalry, in general, is deadly in attack but vulnerable in defence. I've equipped my Simeon with Richard's unique item, because additional damage won't hurt.  |

I've equipped my Simeon with Richard's unique item, because additional damage won't hurt. I’ve had enough of unique items. It’s better for now(and for me), since Richard’s crown is on my boy Basil, to get that juicy “Book of Tactics” with +15% damage. Even Chaser can be good to make a stronger counter infantry on Simeon (otherwise his skill could be wasted). I have limited resources |

I also got bought this general yesterday (maybe because I don't have enough medals to get everyone I want and someone was advertising for him in this forum) and up to this moment missed that I should put the blue horse on him -_-

Just look at the images I've uploaded. Simeon is as strong as Harald Hardrada, but on cavalry. stoic was right on Simeon. The Bulgar king (or emperor) has taken almost double the damage compared to Alfred (“Barrier of swords” is a good defensive item) while dealing more damage. |

As stoic mentioned earlier Charles Martel is comparable to Simeon. Has a bit lower title, but his active skill will be more useful, as Simeon's Outburst will be useless after Heavy armored cavalry is upgraded to max. There are several good f2p cavalry generals and best f2p archer gens are not that obvious. Looks like Aetius and Lancelot are the best candidates  |

It's because of his speed. With right units in his legion he can attack up to 4 times per turn. Mamelukes, Mongolian horse archers, Ravenna crossbowmen, woad skirmishers - all these units synergize well with his active skill and passive ability to synchronise the speed of a legion. |
