I wanted to ask experts a couple of questions about Stephen the Great from EW7
1) How exactly to open him? I know that through triumphs, but through what triumphs?
2) How good is he in general as a general? Worth using?

I wanted to ask experts a couple of questions about Stephen the Great from EW7 1) How exactly to open him? I know that through triumphs, but through what triumphs? 2) How good is he in general as a general? Worth using? 1. Enter territory mode, upper left triumphs, tap on "invasion succeed" (lol) and you can view that after 525 successful invasions (battles won by attacking others in territory) you can claim him. 2. Nope. His active might be situational but i still cant rly see the point. He cant do anything helepolis canon cant do better. You can give him an iap unique weapon to make up for his lack of one. You can use him in conquest just like you would any crappy/decent bronze tier gen. Overall sure he is decent and might be useful sometimes but does not make your main team, ... doesnt come even close. |

His bond with Vlad and Hyundai is also not a bad one. But again it is doubtful you will use it elsewhere outside conquest maps. All in all Stephen is an illustration of a saying: "don't look a gift horse in the mouth"  . As if ET are saying: "he is free, he belongs to the golden tier generals, what else do you want, guys? That he should be good? Don't make us laugh. Buy good generals, and not expect us to give them for free" |

And I am afraid that ET will continue to release games using this strategy. I think I wonβt play the next one. |

I believe Hyundai is a car company... π€£ On the topic I would say the trio is useful id you dont have powerful cav generals. Stephan and Hunyadi kinda works well together and Vlad, well hes kinda a beast on his own. I use this trio in Conquest in addition to charlemagne+roland and my cav teleports from one town to the next. Ofc use movement gems and fast t5/t6 melee cavalry. They are not game changing but fun imo. |

It could be really great if their next game were some sort of continuation of this one, as you have suggested earlier. Otherwise it will be another senseless grinding from the scratch. And, what is more frustrating, the game wasn't a challenge. Especially for players who make in-game purchases. On the contrast, in EW5 you may buy all shiny things and all available IAP generals, but without your brain you won't go far. Now it is just enough to have several powerful generals and War Drums and all difficulties are practically over. Probably they are trying to attract more new casual gamers instead of hard-boiled, old-school veterans |

Probably they are trying to attract more new casual gamers instead of hard-boiled, old-school veterans Once they kept expanding PoH i had regretted not buying it in the very beginning of the game. And thought: you know what, if i have more fun with the game and dont have to covet all that p2w players have maybe its reasonable to spend the money for the next game. But as the game progressed difficulty got all messed up and iap players stating the game to be too easy is a reason not to buy a single thing. I can only say i am glad not to have purchased it this game. And that i am torn again between wanting iaps from the get go to make the most of the purchase for the next game... or 1. not buying anything bc they are expensive, 2. loose their edge with any update introducing a new meta and 3. ruining the game by beeing too powerful, making the game too easy if NOT introducing a new meta and making the purchase obsolete. stoic i really dont know how the importance of tactical thinking got lost in dmg output. I often think its the lack of hex grid but ew7 is also cooler than "hex grid flanking" beeing 90% of all tactical choices. |

The bond is good becouse of the +1 mobility from Hyundai motors.
