Building the perfect generals in World Conqueror 3

Explosion skill then is always a contender for the best skill line up imo.

I doubt. As Eastern empire was calculating You need 3k+ medal to receive 5* marshal in any field, so Konev alternative with no skills will be a bit less then 3k medals and You will need to purchase and upgrade at least 4 more arty skills.

Artillery is not an armored unit,also apparently the aliens aren't armored either so generals with that anti-armor skill fighting aliens arent benefiting.

Anyways kanue, give me your best build for an artillery general? You got 3.3k to play with.
Now keep in mind Konev only has 3 useable skills so that means if we can make 5 level 2 skills (at level 2 skills are very cheap) we would more than match him.Even just 4 skills might be just as good.

Konev also only got 170 health,not a high rank so that shouldnt be too expensive to match. 

Here is the list Eastern empire posted:

Here is starting template for a skill build:
All skills at lvl 2:

Fire cov 210 + 100
Explosion 160 + 80
Plain warfare 190 + 100
Anti armor probably not needed.

Still need to find cost for 170 health .

Grand total:
1080(skills)+120(mvt)+1350(art stars)+1400 (health)= 3950 medals

From the looks of it,it can't be done in a value type price range.Not too far off the mark but not that great either.

Yeah, a full build general costs >10k as stated in the OP. Spending those medals on upgrading ion cannon instead seems a better choice here in terms of cost efficiency.

Disregarding that though, what would you spec your generals towards? At least one artillery general for sure, but other alternatives in armoured or naval seems rather pointless consider that there are very good generals for them already.

Saltin, if you ask me about best artillery build, I would say the 4 skills you mention plus supply skill. And I think 2 stars in movement should be enough to make rocket artillery move 3 grids.
