The reward for max stars in the new princess trial is a unique item for Washington. It gives him exactly two of the skills he had in EW4, leadership (morale doesn't drop) and mass fire  There will be another general in "temporary store" - Achilles, and also several items (emblems) exclusive for Napoleon, Alexander, Caesar, Nobunaga, and Suleiman. Also as I read the Declaration (Washington unique item) specs, it almost seems like the effect is related to all of your troops, not only to Washington. It would be an enormously huge bonus though, to give all troops morale, immunity to confusion, and mass fire... All that stuff is IAP, unfortunately. And Washington's item works only on him |

Yes, it's all IAP, though. However, about Washington item. In other unique items, the description don't mean multiple "troops", only basic changes of stats. E.g. Alexander's Saddle "When Alexander uses:
Ignore the impact of terrain when marching. +50% damage to infantry units"But for Declaration: "When used by Washington:
the morale of the troops will not be reduced, they will not be confused, and the combat effectiveness will not be reduced after HP is reduced."
The same seems to be Nobunaga's emblem: "When used by Nobunaga Oda:
troops have +80 defense, +360 life, and a certain probability of fire when attacking."However, it's possible that by "troops" it's meant only generic troops, not all units (other generals). |

Since it says "When used by Washington", I don't think anyone else can benefit from it. It's already very OP like this |

Yes, the exclusive bonus is valid only if the item is used by specific person, but if it's written like this, it seems to benefit the others (maybe others and NOT Washington).
But I suppose we'll see when someone obtains the item. I haven't been able to finish even the first chapter of trial yet.

Where do you get this list of new unique generals and items? Just rumors or is possible to have a list?

I don't know how to put pictures here as attachment, it seems not working.
However, Achilles is in the list of generals, and the special emblems in the list of items.

I see, now I feel very stupid about not thinking to check.
Some emblems look very powerful

Some emblems look very powerful The only problem is that the first word is "buy" when you look for their location I don't have anything against p2w stuff. But it would be more appropriate to keep the balance. As it always was the case in EW5. In this day and age the difference between f2p and p2w players grows as never before. |

It looks like Murat is a time limited purchase? I wonder if they will cycle through them?

Required generals for the missions:
1 - Moctezuma, El Cid, Richard + 1 free slot
2 - Moctezuma, El Cid, Richard + 1 free slot
3 - Moctezuma, Petain, Edward, Lincoln, Nelson, James Wolfe
4 - Moctezuma, Pachachuti, Petain, Edward, Lincoln, Richard, James Wolfe
5 - Washington, Moctezuma, Pachacuti, Richard, Petain, Edward +1 free slot
6 - Washington, Moctezuma, Pachacuti, Richard, Nelson, Petain, Edward +1 free slot
They are not too hard, although the spam is intense in every mission. I still need to try the 6th mission

On each particular day of the week you can purchase one particular general. I think this approach is questionable at best, but I hope they know what they do  |

Haven't been on the forums for a while, so I'll give my two cents:
Murat: One of the best IAP gens in the game, and pretty cheap. Replaces Blucher and is the Authur of cav teams, but with 100% mobility. Plunder and samurai perk is huge (Washington w/ max log and declaration item), but only anti is archers by 30% Might struggle to kill full health units, but give him a high power weapon under cav aura and he'll do fine. Use Li Shimin for best rage gathering.
Achilles: Don't buy IMO, even if you do an inf team. He's Authur but way weaker. A normal 8 mono inf team would be Bobby, Petain, Peter, Xexeres, Ceaser, Alex, Richard, and Joan (P2W replace Joan with Authur) His active aura gives him temporary Authur status, but the chance of attacking again will more than likely make him unable to keep the status for long. AND the active only targets 1 unit, not a normal formation master or Authur's Hero Blessing, which is OP IMO with good RNG luck with mobility. Don't buy.
Washington's item: Really nice, the stats are a bit meh but the bonus is good. Washington is not needed for an mono archer 8 team, but useful if you do use Washington.
Ocllo: Maria but for defense. Not really good IMO. All princesses are meh, with Maria and Sophia being the only decent ones.
Suleiman's Badge: Very good for him. The stats are nice and he gets a very good regen based off his total HP. Good for its cheap cost.
Nobunaga's badge: The best badge in this new IAP wave in terms of raw stats. Best damage output and Great crit chance buff, HIT, and SPEED. Its bonus for Nobunaga is also big, giving him extra 360 HP, 80 DEF, and a chance for fire. The HP and DEF are very nice, and the fire is a nice bonus but not game breaking. Great for its cheap cost.
Ceaser's badge: As if Ceaser wasn't already tanky enough, now he has CAVALRY DEFENSE BONUS!? Attila, Edward, Asoka, etc. will hit far less against him in arena/castle, and Genghis' stomp will only slightly tickle the mad lad. Fury growth of 30% is also massive. Give him 2 sets of titan (50% rage regen) or 2 sets of paladin and you'll have infinite cure master. Stats are also very nice. Great for its cheap cost.
Napoleon's badge: Worsts in terms of stats, and its bonus is meh IMO. I don't use Nap on the frontlines, and he having Destroy makes the 1-3 range useless. At least with Bismarck, he takes advantage of it against walls w/out destroy (if you are mad enough to upgrade him past 5*). Not really worth, only saving grace is cheap.
Alex's badge: I have no clue what Alex's bonus means. "When enemy moves, its own range is increased by 2 frames" My only guess is Alex gets 1-3 range when enemy moves away from him? I cannot auccrately rank his badge w/out tests from other players. Stats are ok. Unknown if worth.
Princess trials: Not much to be said. Spam is annoying but that's about it. Only good reward is Washington's item, and that's useless if you don't even use him.
Overall thoughts on the update? IAP heavy, but the costs are pretty cheap, which is nice. Murat, Suleiman's badge, Nobunaga's badge, and Ceaser's badge are the best in this new update. Wish there was more stuff for f2p players, but it's not a bad update.
