I'm trying not to waste a single medal and only go for endgame general. With this thinking, it seems like purple generals are a bit risky. Since gold generals should upgrade more than purple, they should be able to gain a substantial edge over purple ones after 5 upgrades. Skills should also make a big difference when you have enough medals to upgrade everyone to high skill level.
With this in mind, Attila and Saladin are both purple with good skills but we should probably wait for better gold cavalry generals after update. Saladin don't need medals to get so get him without upgrades to help with missions. For archer, Nobunaga seems good enough to play in endgame despite being purple so i'm thinking of whether to buy him. For artillery, Li just has bad skills so it's Cleopatra for now. The only endgame like general worth buying seems to be Caesar, who has extremely good tanky skills and is gold.
However, that will mean you will have a lineup consisting of 3-4 infantry units including Barbarossa, Caesar Alexander and maybe even Joan of Arc. With only Saladin as cavalry, Cleopatra as artillery, Moctezuma and robin hood as archers

Great explanantions wintercastle, I know I had the same thoughts at the start but somehwere in the last part of empire age campaigns I lost this spirit and bought these generals (li and ogunara) with the thought that the will become great and lvling them up right now will help in the end.. (and later atilla)
I have no clue whether your opinion will close to the truth but also in your opinion there are lots of things which sounds logical.. but we can only know when the update is here.

Up to now I've opened the package of the game, and I didn't see any other gold generals. But I'm sure Oda will stay, because it is impossible that the last two eras both have gold archer. Not sure about Saladin and Attila though, but I think one of them will come up, since Suleiman is inferior to both of them. |

So I guess if things keep going the way they are it'll be survivability vs dmg output, or cheap/short term vs expensive/long term for Saladin or Attila.

My thought is along the same line as wintercastle 's that I would better not wasting my medals on generals that I am not sure if they have endgame capability. So I am reluctant to buy purple generals whether he be Attila or Nobunaga. Skill-wise, I like Attila but I am not sure about the stat gap between purple and gold generals. Hmmm... maybe I should just buy Genghis Khan and compare his stat with Saladin. |

Moctezuma is good. Gold is easy to come by and you may need another archer before Nobunaga. He comes in at 2 stars already so you don't need to upgrade that either. In the end, i think you should get any gold buyable generals you want since they come by quite easily. However, Jebe costs 850 medals and isn't that good, so you should skip him, he's not an endgame general

Aye, I like moctezuma. He serves as a healer for those of us who don't have expensive (but good) Caesar (and I don't like Joan. 40000 gold isnt a lot in my opinion, since gold becomes largely irrelevant later in game, and I don't need another infantry unit when i have Alexander and Barbarossa who generally suffice)

Ranged wise(no iaps included), Nobunaga is the only quality choice for now, and he fulfils his role both determined wise(vs. cav) and undetermined wise, which is achievable due to his passive abilities.
Some 'meh' choices would be Mont and Jebe, but Jebe specifically due to the horse archers, which means+mobility and secondary attacks upon killing, which is highly beneficial if you roll her with Atilla like i do..
Keep something in mind, gold generals are only' important figures'(by dev standards) and are thrown in there so we can have something to grind for, that's unique, that said, if a purple general has an amazing skill setup, then buy him, because you'll overpower the meager amount of stat bonuses that golden generals get just by getting good items, and you'll usually make certain skills obsolete with those same items..

I think it's 'him' not 'her.' He's the one who shot an arrow in Genghis Khan's knee...oh wait...neck. |

The first time i saw ' him' i thought it was a 'her' , and i memorised it like that since then , lol. . |

Jebe is really not worth it for long term. You are spending 850 medal on someone who will clearly not be an end game general since he's blue only.
