Will the sale of generals and the monopolization of items in the game make the game popular? Please answer

Why there is no possibility to answer that everything is fine?  The game is popular anyway. Making all the content mostly free of charge will create the situation of bankrapcy for the developer |

Those are for the big boys (Credit Magic) anyway, developers been doing that with other games they make. We are still lucky as F2P there are good Generals that can be obtained without spending any penny. |

Like andrei said, the current situation is fine. If I sold very expensive lemonade, I would only be known as the weirdo who sells that really expensive lemonade. This has happened before, for some say that GOG2 is pay to win. That game is dead. I can very much compete with IAPs. Matilda, Otto, Olga, Arthur, Caesar, and William are outclassed in some way. I have finished the normal campaigns currently available. I can finish conquests with Justinian. Who says I can't compete? Unless it's Richard. If the devs only sold medals, that would be really unprofitable. Unless this is WC4 or 3, medals are readily available. The devs even give us free medals in EW7 on updates, and even once as a sign of gratitude. If there were no IAPs, and only medals, well, if I wanted to buy medals, it would be very cheap and I could blitz through the game. It can also be very expensive because that would be their only source of revenue. ET could make everything free, amd then everybody has level 15 templars and every campaign would be Normandy difficulty to compensate for the Richards roaming around. Put yourself in their shoes: If I spent real money on generals, I would want them to be good. EW7, IMO, does a great job. F2Ps have great generals, and P2Ws have better ones, and mediocre ones. |

EW7 is a free game. ET games usually cost about 1 USD when they're released. I think this is also a big step to make the game become more popular as it's a gift for f2p players who don't want to spend money on the game (by many reasons).

If they sell medals only they either need to sell the game itself for money. Which immediately makes the community very small which equal to the situation when the game will be unpopular. Or They need to make the game significantly harder to stimulate medals purchase. Because otherwise they have no other sources of revenue. And they anyway need to cover development expenditures and to earn money. And in case game needs constant donation to progress is the worst case scenario imo. |

Others have already said much on this but I will add my words.
From my experience, it seems the sale of generals is far more likely/profitable than medals.
I have purchased IAP in some easytech games and I have never purchased any medals. All my purchases are generals or other one off purchases like EW7 Proof of Honor.

Creating a big difference between players is the essence of f2p. This is more of an MMORPG, but ew7's ET is making significant strides in that direction.

Or they could just add better F2p gens with unique weapons for free. They currently don't have enough. The Iap are here to stay though. |

The Iap are here to stay though. And what will be the point to buy IAP if You can have same reskin general for free? Where is their profit here? Their idea is: You can complete the game without IAP generals. Will it be a bit more difficult? Yes, tiny bit as mostly the difference between the generals is not that huge. Units' upgrades are far more influencial. Some IAP gens are better, true. But it is possible to complete everything without it. Don't want to spend more time for upgrades? Want to spend less time for grinding? No problem - pay. It is fair imo. |

Firstly, EW 7 is like choosing between paying and grinding, it’s TIME OR MONEY.
But til the newest update and the Territory mode, I think it’s more important to upgrade units than spend money on IAPs. Even bronze generals are so strong with high level units, my Richard with level 1 Templars get smashed pretty quick attacking them in territory mode.

I have purchased IAP in some easytech games and I have never purchased any medals. All my purchases are generals or other one off purchases like EW7 Proof of Honor. Yeah buying medals is generally the worst iap usually due to how little it gives in comparison to buying an iap, which if compared to other the medal cost of other f2p generals the "cost to effectiveness" ratio is much better |

The game is mainly a single player game so competing with others isn't really a big deal
Comparing two similar generals, sure Richard may be much better than Alfred but the game is still completable without him
Reiterating what others have said, iaps mainly save time
Time for grinding and leveling up generals
Due to the much better balancing of units in this game even powerful generals are able to be neutralized using good tactics
