Reliable more like dies when attacking for Swageon of Bulguria. This guy basically has no absorption what so ever, like an ISIS suicide bomber. I find Baldwin as the second most powerful cav gen. He can deal equal damage to Alfred if you place Immortality Crown on him. Plus you can give him two attacks when you use his ability. Plus charge Cav is kinda overrated in my opinion. Plus the meta for hard campaigns isn't charge cav, rather it is Cnut, El Cid, and Roland who actually can survive throughout the mission. In addition most spearmen are present within enemy stacks, which significantly hinders the abilities of charge. Well, it is actually a player's task to keep his generals alive  I personally can't remember when I lost Simeon last time. Every cavalry general including Richard is vulnerable when being attacked (Alfred and Roland have an edge though in this respect thanks to personal weapons). It is like in chess, every piece has its pros and cons and it is a task of a player to move them in a coordinated way. All that I know about Simeon is that he is a cheapskate who can trigger triple charge when I need it most. I value these two talents in campaigns more than many other things. How important is Charging Cavalry Expert to Simeon? |

How important is Charging Cavalry Expert to Simeon? I would say it is fairly important. We always tend to forget that we won't use Templars or cataphracts in campaigns most of the time. Our choice of cavalry is rather limited. Here is a example.   But when we deploy Simeon we increase his chances to charge even without Outburst by solid 10%  It was 15% before it was nerfed. I don't see any particular reason for this nerf. Only a handful of generals had this ability anyway. |

stoic, I am dissappointed. Why didn't You rush, charge and die as a hero? Where is Chivalry in the approach You exploit?

playeruser37, my point was that we need to use generals according to their talents and abilities, not that Simeon is the greatest cavalry general ever I firmly believe that every decent cavalry general in EW7 has his strength and weakness. We have to understand ther limitations and try to exploit their strength.

Our choice of cavalry is rather limited. Understandable. However, I'm not sure at this stage whether spending almost 2k medals for a better Totila is a good idea. I don't see too much difference between them other than the 10% charge rate. |

Well, I bought Simeon exactly because I wanted a better version of Totila I terms of damage Totila is better than many generals purchased for medals. |

Eventually, you can get them all since the current game offers enough medals. I'd recommend Simeon first if you still have lots of hero legends and treasure missions unfinished. He does well with Noble cav and can usually kill 1-2 enemy legions right at the start (with his skill and desperate wager for certain terrains). There are bronze generals who have Baldwin's skill so you can test how useful this would be. Stat wise, Roland is stronger than Baldwin and Barbarossa (unless you iap buy their items) so it's all about their active skills. Try Cataphracts. They are squishier than Noble cav but should be able to hit harder. |

Do y'all think I should just stick with my Alfred, Roland and Martel for now? And upgrade Totilla?

well it seemed like you felt that you need a general. if you need a cav then buy one. the thread suggested several generals. if you dont NEED one dont buy a gen without a hero legend.
my conclusion always: buy the one with hero legend, get more gold, upgrade stuff -> suddenly you dont need new gens as much as before bc you have better units, generals and unique items bc you spent the ressources from HL to upgrade, suddenly you dont have to buy this or that general anymore even if they are great generals
i dont have simeon, lancelot, narses or roland all of which are popular gens, simply bc there was no need. (i will get narses though eventually but whenever i feel i need him)
