Well guys, it has been a long road but I think I have hit an end to the game. All the generals worth maxing are maxxed and so on. I have 5 stars for every campaign level. I have bought all the items worth buying too. This has been my discration during college classes, and I just dont what else I can do in the game. The best campiagn I thought was the american or the British one. The american campaign I thought was the most challenging to play.
Run-down on the main/favorite generals:
Sophia: 5* on horse and artillery and 3* movement - Usually has the horse artillery item for 2+ movement. I used her initially with horse before sulkowski and she can easily plow her way through enimies
Isabela: 5* on artillery and 5* movement - Usually has +4 powder and a tent as items. She is an absolute beast.
Sulkowski: 5* horse and 4* movement - usually has the +4 sword and +2 sadle for movement. He carried me for the campaigns, until Lan came along.
Dobeln: really did nothing to him - usually has the +4 rifle and +2 boots for movement
Kate: 5* navy. I want to get her level up to max, but the navy missions become boring. I have a +2 attack and defense items for her. Thpse are ususally enough to plow her way through a fleet.
Lan: she cant be beaten - usually has +6 pistol and then war horse or tents or whatever is needed.
Nelson: 5* navy. I used him for the navy campaigns but now he is collecting dust.
Victoria: I need to get her 5* on business. I think i only trained her movement to 5*. She usually has +6 rifle.
Maxxing the nobility on the nacvy generals was peevish until I started to use Emperor's Fall which made it extremely quick. I saw reccomendations for Chain the Beast or 1815 Austria, but I think Emporer's fall does it quickest.
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know! it has been fun
