I am (kinda) stuck at Battle of Manzikert normal
I need second cav general cuz i am sick of Sunicas/John the Armenian as second cav.
Generals:
Alfred
El Cid
Justinian
Cnut
Harald
Adil
Sunicas
Theodoric I
Antonina
Theodora
And the freebies
Should I get Roland or Simeon of Bulgaria instead?

I have Basil. If you have plenty of medals, and want a strong Cav Gen that does not need too much investment, it’s ok to get him. But I think for that role, Totila or even William iron Arm is enough.
If you need a really good Cav Gen for the long run, it should be Simeon for Charge Cav, Roland for Melee Cav.

Don’t get me wrong, but when needed (and after a quick item change) El Chid is a stronger cavalry general than Simeon. I know this because I tested it

I know this because I tested it Its a waste to use him as an calvary general because of his unique unit and weapon. His active of skill can easily be taken advantage by deploying Varangian Guard. |

You won’t need more than 2 ranged generals in campaign, and looking at his skills it’s a waste not using him on other units and in different ways  . What El CID lacks is that 10 speed that makes him attack 3 times I also tested him on triple Varangians in “Swageon of Bulgaria” if you want to check and he’s pretty good ^^ |

They are very exposed to counter attacks and can't siege cities well. Meanwhile, when you use him with one Varangian and two ranged units you can easily deal between 800-1200 damage on regular attacks and you have high counter attack. |

Yes, mixing units is the key of success. If you want some extra defence against ranged attacks, you could swap that Varangian with a heavy-axe Viking (look at “top shield”). |

Basil II becomes infantry general now. I just notice it today. If it's not the 1.5.3 update, it must be 1.4.4 update (I just didn't aware anyone mentioned it), but he has a special weapon unlock for free after you beat hard IX.3 battles.
He also has Varangian as his special unit, together with melee infantry expert and master of assault. He is definitely top infantry general now.

Yes, it's the new update (1.5) that turned him into an infantry general. To add to his dominance, he also has PF. Yeah, he's definitely top infantry general. Maybe it will be the great 'Hardrada Regret' this time |

Maybe it will be the great 'Hardrada Regret' this time Hadrada went from Best Nuke Infantry to sub Basil, then again Basil II is one of the most famous commanders/leaders for the Varangians so it fits... But so is Hadrada, he is the Varangian King afterall |

Unless you used him as a deployed gen, his Active and Master of Assault is trash, Snow Fighting is trash at all times, stats are mediocre, Navigation is admittedly good, and I forgot his other skill. In addition, all of his skill levels were low. |

However, if Harald is not someone you deploy (who would be Alfred, El Cid, or Cnut in most instances), it's value is limited to Hero Legends and Treasure Missions, as no basic infantry units have a charge chance. |

I am more focused on conquests as its replayability is high. Campaigns are more onetime completion thing. |

You’ve just exposed Harald’s big value |
