Meanwhile I have unlocked HYW and at the same time the possibility to hire one of the best Infantry generals in the game - Robert the Bruce.    The Best f2p infantry generals. Finish their Bond and put them in front of your damage dealers and observe How enemy cavlary and infantry Are dying From counterattack. And then your cavlary archer generals and Murad sweap up the Rest. |

If I were you I’d think twice about Subutai and his raids. He was a good general in 1.x.x versions, but at the moment he’s not as good as he was before (in comparison to other generals). In addition, I’d think twice even about boosting MR. You will spend really a lot of souls to get them 15+ lvl whereas you must boost 3 other important units (IBC, MMC, Dragoons). Not sure that it is possible for F2P. I’d suggest to completely forget about MR unless 3 units above are 24 lvl. For F2P legions (with 2 gems in yellow equip) IBC+Woad+Dragoons or IBC+MMC+Woad or MMC+Woad+Dragoons are not worse than any setup with MR but require less souls. As they say: "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it". At the moment I don't have a single fragment of Dragoons and, for sure, I won't have access to Baibars' raid for many months to come. So, I don't have a wide variety of choices. MR have an excellent talent (restoring mobility after dodging), so, it is basically the only way for new players to increase the number of attacks per turn when using ranged units. You don't really need to have Raids for upgrading units. This can be done by souls too. There will be enough souls to get 2-3 most important units 20+ lvl. In your particular case I’d suggest to use El Cid raid unless you unlock IBC raid. Conquistador + 40 souls is much better than MR raid (Don’t forget that MR costs only 125 souls). In addition, if unlocking dragoons is a far future for you than conquistadors will be a very good replacement. Don’t forget that all generals with firearms expert skill (Barbar and Manuel for example) need to have at least 1 unit with musket in the legion. You mentioned that MR gives +2 mobility, but this is level 5 talent skill and the chance for it is not 100%, so far future again. At the same time, Dragoons give guaranteed +3 (save on attack) which is much better, and conquistadors lvl 5 talent have +2 mobility too. IBC or MMC significantly boost the legion, 15lvl IBC has more def (which is the most important for the first unit in the legion) than 24 MR, so I don’t recommend to use any raids for MR (or other tier 5 units) |

It is not entirely clear how it works in different circumstances. For example, in EW5 there is a skill called "Spy" decreasing Defense of enemies by half. We should expect that they will take 50% more damage, but in fact it hardly ever more than 15%. The same is true in GCR when defense of units is the weakest attribute. And units with 30%-40% more defense take almost the same damage as those with low numbers. I am not sure about EW7 but in case of MR it isn't very important, I think. If we attack Cavalry or Infantry the defense of MR doesn't matter. If we attack ranged units dodge is more important than def. So, it does only matter in counterattack. But, as I recall, counterattacks in EW7 have one specific feature. For example, if our ranged units are attacked by Cavalry, first of all counterattack damage is calculated and only then the damage of this attack. This allowed a couple of mounted Archers anihilate numerous Cavalry units in HYW campaigns, for example. |

Ranged infantry Is very fragile, and useles against ranged cavlary on offense and defense. It Has small efects on infantry because of dodge and infantry defense, only Has value against cavlary. I have 22 lvl dragoon and conquistadors and they have no use for f2p player in troy treasure and most nightmare missions.

I was always suspicious about Ranged Infantry other than Woad warriors (simply because it is probably the easiest unit to upgrade). Sure, in conquests different terrain bonuses provided by Ravenna or Dragoons/Conquistadors are helpful but most of the time we are fighting on small maps, as you pointed out. |

Day 29 And another general with an extremely useful active skill.  Baldwin is one of the best EW7 generals I know to prevent the suicidal inclinations of our allies. And we all know this pattern when an allied general just rushes towards an inevitable death without paying any attention to our screaming 😱  And the worst thing is that his protection is one of the winning conditions. Baldwin is very good at keeping such morons alive. And another useful side of his active skill is that it is possible to move our best Damage dealers to targets without consuming any mobility. Shame that his weapon is a p2w item, but he should be fine wearing Charlemagne's sword. |

I almost stopped using Baldwin after I was bored and bought Saladin. Having both (with an assist from Barbarossa) definitely helps the bent-on-death NPCs. Wish they worked at sea...  |

I sometimes contemplate what if (a purely hypothetical assumption )I refuse to follow my f2p rules and make a purchase or two. Perhaps, Saladin, Joan or Genghis Khan would be most appealing options then. Both Saladin and Joan allow us to deploy one more HQ general in campaigns (a huge advantage in my opinion). And Genghis Khan with his new skin is just an Air Force general with Carpet bombings Joan has a nice active skill as well after her new skin has been released. |

I may also have been bored when I bought Joan and Charlemagne.  Can't imagine grinding 80 point conquests without Charlie now. |

Yep, quite a challenge Though I recall zabadanov86 unlocked Hunyadi's weapon without him just by doing WRE auto conquests |
