As best said generals are on the troops of his own faction.
However, all factions have different strenghts and weaknesses. Like aztec archery troops are stronger than their roman counterparts.
This makes an aztec archery general automatically stronger than an roman archery general.
Take this in account when chosing generals, since this can be the difference between a strong general and a weak general.
And as we know, montgommery is stronger on a super tank than rommel on a heavy tank

So now good generals not only depend on their general, but also their faction. That makes things much more difficult. C

Heres a look at the unique roman units. The biggest thing to take into account appears to be the change in ability. I listed the changes in stats in comparison to the equivalent unit most other countries have at that age.  Legion Pros: +15 HP, +5 Min attack, +10 defense, Armor is straight up better ability than Shield Cons:-10 max-attack  Siege Tower Pros: +5 attack, gains cover ability cons: -20 HP, loses firepower ability |

I looked at Japan and their special units seem to have some really great skills.  Samurai Compared to the swordsman unit most other countries used this unit has 35 less HP, 30 higher min attack, 20 higher max attack, 49 less defense, 1 less movement point. Nevertheless the samurai skill seems like a great skill for a general.  Ashigaru Compared to the riflemen used by most other countries this unit has 15 more HP, 15 higher mini attack, 5 less max attack, and 5 more defense. Trading the extra damage against cavalry to attack twice seems like a amazing deal to me. |

Even if unit is different, if the general itself it crap, he can hardly be saved. |

Also in empire mode there are places like copenhagen, medina and vienna thay allows u to recurit generals after giving them gifts (aka sort of free generals as u do not need to pay any coins or medals, but they are hard to be pleased).
for now heres wat I know
Copenhagen- Joanne of Arc (medevial age)
Vienna- Babarossa (medrvial age)
Medina- Saladdin (empire age)
Joanne and Babarossa are meh, Saladdin is one of the strongest cavalry generals due to his supply skill.

I noticed your question earlier, but I am not so sure whether you should buy him or wait.
He has high output and health. Also his healing skillz will be perfect..
The problem is that i did not compare generals really whith each other. I bought montazuma for the health skilz and the extra archer power with gold.
I just got to empire age ( see other post soon) and there are nee generals too..
What are the reasons to buy him?

In my opinion, if u have the time and effort, u can get caesar and raise his healing skill and grow him to 3 stars in empire age as he will be on the unique unit, the roman legion.
Problem with montezuma is that he is slow and very low health, the healing ability requires the generals to be at full rage meter and casear can achieve that more easily than montezuma due to his superior output and health.
However I recommend u to get li shi min as he can be used right away, on a high output unique unit (hwacha?) and he is an artillery gen who will help in levels qith alot of walls and towers

It seems you have gained a lot of experience with the strength of lots of generals. Why dont share it here with some explanation? Would be great info! |
