I only had 5 star atilla and 5 star nobunaga when I finished lexington gunfire 2
Uprading generals' skills is main reason why I came further than players with napoleon or Washington
I removed that, because I don't know if 6th era will be free. Now I'm in empire era, but I'll reach gunpowder quickly.
Playing without IAP gens shouldn't be hard if you know right tactic.If you have some troubles ask me, I remember all gunpowder campaings
Example
Great patriot 5 is easier than great navigator 5, both of them are bonus missions.
After destroying southern castle yi will become your ally for 1 turn.
Completing this mission on 3 stars gives you paladin boots
I hope I can help
I would ask whether you maybe want to make a guide for both 3-star bonus lvls,
like
best75 just did for russian lvl1 and I did for lvl 3 of the great pattriot.
this will be handy (for me), but more importantly to those who will reach it after some weeks
Btw made great patriot 5 guide myself already
