Above Paget, they have the same stats, she's cheaper, and she has Precision Strike, Edge, and Surprise Attack just like Paget, but swaps out Tactic Master with the better Plain Fighting. 😊thanks and what about Radezky and Davout? This would complete the (/my) cavalry shopping recommendation Radetzky is trash, maybe on the skill level of Sucre. Davout is worse than Paget, but I expect him to be better than Philipp, but I'll have to do more comparisons. |

I couldn't. He would be so weak. `He'd die near instantly, just like all units compared to generals. TM works best with good healing items, which I would not give to Philipp cause he's weak and healing items are expensive. Ney is cheaper than Philipp, has higher max rank, and doesn't die super fast. Plus Paget is cheaper anyway so no reason to get Philipp. Or Ney for that matter, he's not good either. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Cavalry is the tankiest unit of the game, and 2 more or 2 less defense % won't be a real game changer. No healing items? You have 2 slots, try a defence or HP item. Ney is cheaper? So is Merveldt. You can grind campaigns, cost is not so much of a big deal anymore. See point above for rank. If you general dies quickly, it matters how you are using it. Murat will die quickly when charging into a group of Maxims, that's how you manage him. We get 24 slots in this game. I, for one, would like to make use of some of them. That's a reason to get Ney or Philipp. 1. Murat 2. Lan 3. Dabrowski 4. Davout That's enough. If you need more Ney is still better because PF beats TM and Edge + RM equates SA. |

Maybe a tad better than Paget due to better stats and slightly worse skills. |

Davout is worse than Paget, RM is lackluster, and Station is trash. I don't think you get how powerful SA is. Or rather how weak RM is. Crits are a 1.35 boost, worse than the 1.5 crit boost in later ET games. It's also a pretty low chance on its own to get a crit. SA is basically on average a 14% boost, with a minimum of 8%. It definitely beats Edge and RM. With the remainder, TM can ebat PF. |

King is a 4% defense boost and a 8 (2%) attack boost above Prince. THis is nowhere near gamechanging, as both stats are under 100, which means 1% of a boost does not mean 1 more stat. Skills are unbelievably better than stats in this game. |

Only a bit worse than SA and RM, as useless as it is, makes up the remainder. |

SA is basically Edge but for every type of unit. |

Plus cavalry mostly attacks infantry anyways. |

Edge is +25 damage to most units that cavalry will hit. Pretty good too. Plus RM will trigger sometimes, and when it does... it's great. |

Plus RM will trigger sometimes, and when it does... it's great. There is no medal for Edge, so it's at +20 damage. Infanry is the most frequent, but heavy cavalry is the most annoying, with it's morale skill. RM either (okay, the wording is weird) improves the crit rate, which isn't the best because crits will still be 1.35; or it makes the crit stronger, at a 1.45, still very rare and still weaker than the 1.5 we have in later ET games. |

Davout is worse than Paget, but I expect him to be better than Philipp, but I'll have to do more comparisons. Thanks, and from a team building perspective I think that Philipp and Paget are too similar. Paget and Davout provide more "coverage" even if Philipp were to be slightly better than Davout. |
