Now the free general slots are 24, instead of just 8. They added a "badge of glory" system (what in other games may be called battle pass, way of honor, proof of honor, and so on), that gives various resources (a tiny amount for free, something more by paying). There is a new item, the battle report, that can be spent on generals to increase their xp for ranks (to be precise, there are two battle reports, one gives +75xp and the other giver +200xp). Lucky new players, they will no longer have to struggle to finish the crimean war missions with 8 generals...  |

A good reason to log into this game once more. And it seems that send-generals-missions give a lot more medals (could also be from an earlier update) What puzzles me is that I'm on level 43/50 in badge of glory with a fully completed game. Does this mean conquest farming or can we take it as a hint for additional content in the future (which requires 24 generals)? 
blueberry, which generals would you recommend to have besides the standard 8 aura gens? |

blueberry, which generals would you recommend to have besides the standard 8 aura gens? Suvorov and John. John is the best non-aura artillery general and Suvorov is great when the other types of generals are banned in Crimean War. |

blueberry, which generals would you recommend to have besides the standard 8 aura gens? The missing points for the badge of honor might be due to having only 8 generals with high rank and title. Also upgrading princesses' bonuses gives points. For the generals, it depends on how many medals you can spend. The best non-aura generals are Davout, Kutuzov and maybe Bismarck, but you might want to get the discounted generals (John and Lannes, in particular) or the best princesses (Victoria and Lan are very good; Sakurako is good but with mainly defensive skills; Sophia is not bad, but you would miss out on her bonus). Also having Suvorov with his high battle ability, as Erich von Manstein said, is useful. Anyway, I'm not going to replay the game. Erich von Manstein sparked my curiosity when he mentioned more free general slots in another thread, so I wanted to take a look. |

Haha I just came to conclude that you are active in this and all the games given your knowledge  Mine's a bit rusty but browsing through the academy filled me with nostalgia and curiosity.
And I am planning to create a list for the 16 best picks in terms of their skills, max battle ability (is there something similar to best75 's list
About Princesses, I'm a bit reluctant to turn them into generals but low medal cost is a good argument. On the other hand, the Crimean war could be overcome with excessive use of medpacks so this might always be an option.
1500 medals is what I have now and I am not going back to Netherlands medal farming, so daily (2 times per day, right?) will be the income. For this, getting the cheapest generals first would enable starting all the missions in one visit.
But it could also be that making plan is more fun than actually grinding the necessary medals and I end up shelving the game again after a few weeks |

Haha I just came to conclude that you are active in this and all the games given your knowledge Mine's a bit rusty but browsing through the academy filled me with nostalgia and curiosity. I have played almost all et games from GoG and Pacific War onwards, except WC4 and 3KC (never played). And I had to stop playing GCR and GoG3 halfway through the campaigns because of lack of time (then when I started EW5 in april 2021 it left me no time to play anything else ). Now I'm just playing EW5 and EW7. And I am planning to create a list for the 16 best picks in terms of their skills, max battle ability (is there something similar to best75 's list I thought there was a thread with all generals' max battle ability, but I can't find it. Maybe I'm confusing it with similar threads for EW6 1914. Anyway, I did it years ago and luckily I still have a note with the data (name, max title, max battle ability, inf/cav/art/navy ab.,): ▪︎ Infantry Wellesley Emperor 105 54 Bismarck King 98 48 Karl Emperor 84 58 Washington Emperor 96 48 Suvorov King 110 18 Suchet Prince 78 40 Bolivar Emperor 94 38 Massena Prince 60 60 Garibaldi Prince 68 48 Ariel Emperor 62 33 Katrine Emperor 64 36 Louise Emperor 80 15 Lannes King 62 54 Moreau Prince 62 48 Barclay Prince 70 36 Grant King 86 26 Bernadotte Emperor 78 44 Robert Duke 78 18 Gneisenau Marquess 57 40 Vorontsov Marquess 61 26 Theodoros Prince 54 40 Milos King 60 42 Rudolf Marquess 33 54 Roon Duke 42 50 Soult Prince 48 44 Eugene Emperor 64 46 Wilhelm III Emperor 68 30 Berthier King 76 28 Jackson Duke 36 38 Gates Prince 38 36 Picton Count 31 38 Ali King 50 34 Serurier Duke 36 32 Prevost Prince 42 10 Clinton Count 37 6 ▪︎ Cavalry Blücher Emperor 98 64 Murat King 60 60 Davout King 86 46 Radetzky Prince 82 30 Lan Emperor 90 18 Isabela Emperor 65 37 Desaix Prince 68 40 Dabrowski Duke 42 56 Bagration King 56 52 Philipp Prince 42 60 Paget Prince 56 50 Lasalle Duke 34 60 Poniatowski Marquess 37 48 Ney King 62 48 Sucre Duke 52 50 Greene Duke 36 54 Wittgenstein Prince 70 20 Grouchy Marquess 59 22 Cotton Prince 48 26 Santa Anna Duke 42 40 Bennigsen Marquess 33 38 Brown Marquess 39 40 Dramali King 46 42 Raevsky Prince 50 24 Bazaine Marquess 33 30 Sulkowski Count 23 42 Durova Count 27 30 Ferdinand Prince 40 32 Tormasov Count 31 18 Savary Marquess 27 26 Merveldt Prince 38 32 Golitsyn Count 25 12 ▪︎ Artillery Napoleon Emperor 106 60 Kutuzov King 74 48 Moltke King 90 30 Scott Prince 62 50 Fatimah Emperor 84 22 Sophia Emperor 65 39 Maria Emperer 70 35 John King 66 46 Mahmud II Emperor 66 56 Macmahon Prince 50 50 San Martin Emperor 86 36 Dearborn King 60 44 Scharnhorst Prince 56 46 Alexander I Emperor 86 6 Napoleon III Emperor 66 36 Mortier Prince 42 42 Beresford Duke 60 26 Howe Count 39 38 Yermolov Marquess 29 42 Benedek Marquess 29 40 Jourdan Prince 56 30 Ludwig Prince 42 28 ▪︎ Navy Nelson Emperor 74 72 Sakurako Emperor 74 28 Victoria Emperor 58 40 Hood King 66 50 Jones King 54 58 Treville Prince 44 56 Jervis Prince 52 54 Senyavin Duke 36 56 Seyyed Marquess 41 38 Tegetthoff Marquess 41 40 S.

But it could also be that making plan is more fun than actually grinding the necessary medals and I end up shelving the game again after a few weeks  If you have good naval tech, Trafalgar is now a better farming method than Netherlands. For princesses, just don't draft Sophia, Louise, and Ariel. Sophia got a lot of hype as a general, but I seriously don't recommend drafting her because she is too good in the palace. Battle of Balaclava, which bans cavalry, is regarded as the hardest Crimean level so you don't have to rush yourself for a cavalry general. After John and Suvorov, you probably won't need another infantry general. The next in line for other units are Lan (for Tactic Master lovers, Davout/Paget), Scharnhorst (if you don't mind spending a lot more, Kutuzov), and Hood/Sakurako. If you need a second Suvorov, go with Fatimah. |

blueberry, I found some inconsistencies when comparing the three sets (yours, mine, best75's) but I don't remember exactly how it's calculated  for example Suvorov: max BA 110 or 100? And I lack the medals for testing ... But this could change quickly thanks to Erich von Manstein 's suggestion of Trafalgar! it is so much faster! 25 medals on auto in 5-8 turns with my current generals of only one admiral. As for Suvorov, if his max BA is indeed 100 then I find him hardly better than Washington who can reach 96 and a lot more infantry ability. Skills are similar if I'm not missing anything huge(?). Maybe it's the spent medals but right now it's hard to anticipate their skill upgrade costs. I'll try Lan as a princess general and see if I miss her in the palace. Crimean war and in particular Balaclava I completed in the past with 6 generals and 30-40 medpacks, it felt more like paying for the last star:) Probably a lot easier with 12 generals but still no walk in the park.

The generals gain some BA points every time they gain a new rank (duke, prince, king...), and it's the same progression for everyone, regardless of color (in EW6 1914 gens with different colors gain BA differently). But I certainly am not going to check if some update changed the starting BA of some general. I'll let tou have fun with it... BA gives only 1% every 4 points, so it's not so important if a general has 10-15 more BA than another one, imo. |

You don't buy Suvorov as infantry. You get Suvorov to put him on non-infantry. Washington has an edge on infantry, but Suvorov has 2 terrain skills. Therefore I still recommend Suvorov. With the 3 aura generals, your infantry is already pretty good. |

After reading that EW6 is unlicensed in another thread and knowing that I can grind medals anytime I want/need them I stopped after getting John, Lan and Treville and adding the free generals. Waiting is always a good option
