No way they will buff Khalid. Period  I hope they will buff Timur though (maybe even make him another IAP). The guy was a greater war master than Khalid and Richard together Uh, Khalid is pretty consistently in the top five military commanders of all time. Timur was an excellent conqueror who knew exactly how to go about taking more land in battle, but his military campaigns did not have the same stroke of genius that Khalid or Caesar did. Timur defeated crème de la crème of the medieval military world. Not defeated - smashed. He twice destroyed armies of the Golden Horde and almost finished Ottoman project. Who was defeated by Khalid? Regional militia units limitani and weakened Sassanids. Both ERE and Sassanids were exhausted by wars and internal conflicts. And who was defeated by Timur? Rising Ottomans (who were undefeated for decades and just recently smashed Western elite at Nicopolis) and the biggest military state of the age - Golden Horde (with almost unlimited manpower). The quality of your opponents is the measure of your military genius. Strategic consequences of wars and battles are not this measure. Otherwise Hannibal and Napoleon are just unqualified losers. |

Speaking about buffs Edward the III is a silver tier general. Really? The guy destroyed Scottish independence at Halidon Hill and French pride at Crecy. He was the first tactician who used English and Welsh long bowmen properly, building up a whole strategy around them. English casualties in both battles were 100-200 men!!! Do you know many battles like that   Yet no-one will buy him in EW7, because in all likelihood he will be a trash. So, ET games are definitely not a proper place to seek a historical justice. Just enjoy the process, guys  On failing us at history, geography, and English, easytech never fails us. |

I think they will add more generals. We do need a couple of Ottoman sultans for Ottoman campaigns, don't we? I won't be surprised if they use Seljuk rulers instead  Slimane, Kahia, and Karamanli like this. |

The quality of your opponents is the measure of your military genius. Considering that Timur was taken off shelf, there is a possibility (and an active rumor) that he will be back buffed. But who knows? Maybe he got censored. I've seen pictures of Knights Templar getting censored. |

I don't wanna be the classic Mediterranean guy who is proud of Caesar and no one else, but the real chad still remains Lucius Domitius Aurelianus aka Dominus et Deus .

I think they will add more generals. We do need a couple of Ottoman sultans for Ottoman campaigns, don't we? indeed, imagine rise of the Ottomans without any Ottoman gold gens. we could only find Suleiman Baltaoglu, which his armada was defeated by Byzantines during the siege of Constantinople and doesnt reflect "Ottoman rise" |

Good thing is that Khaild is getting buffed with new skills and unique weapon, potentially becoming like Roland.
