The main failure I did was not getting Attila or Caesar, I got Richard li shimin and nominate but would have been amazing to have Caesar also wasted some medals on formation master.. So....Is your mistake Richard? And who is "nominate" Cure master is better than Formation Master sure. What you should have spent on is Rumor and Logistics. 2 good skills, while Caesar has Defense master for a third skill (unneeded for him particularly) Actually they are tied. Only Caesars bad skill is third skill, while Richards "bad" skill is the activation/first skill. |

In classical conquests, don't invade Rome and China at once. I only survived that gaffe by using Washington

My mistake is not getting Nobunaga earlier.
He's a very attractive choice but right now i feel like saving up and completing the legendary sets

I would not say that “Formation master” and especially “Defense master” (though very expensive indeed) are “bad” skills. Good protection could not be overabundant in latter stages. Error in my opinion is untimely development of these skills. They are surly the last ones to be upgraded.
There are excellent cheap team skills (“Leadership”, “Rumor”) and excellent personal skills (“Braveness”, “Logistics”) that should be developed in the first place.

Upping inspiration on Pachachuti or whatever his name is because "It's cheap, I'm sure it ain't that big of a deal" Not checking the stats on AI units and losing troops to oneshotting ranged units like these  my first few attempts to attack Amsterdam. I ended up using Hannibal with war elephants and he still ended up dying to the level 10 spearmen general |

My strategy was to upgrade all of my gens to the third era, then save for the better ones. Now, they can easily handle themselves, but are also expendable. Also, I upgraded cheap abilities to get a slight profit from the achievements.

Also, I upgraded cheap abilities to get a slight profit from the achievements. Seems to me, that your biggest mistake was upgrading all your generals to third era. On a scale of 0 to Leonidas, how many did you upgrade? Upgrading abilities is not worthy of a restart, unless you did that quite a bit. I just bought a certain general lol, and upgraded his skills 5 times right off the bat. I can't help myself  (this was the plan though, though the order is wrong and I can't be sure he is the best general ever) |

But why waste medals upgrading bad generals, when you can buy similar generals of the next age with coins instead

But why waste medals upgrading bad generals, when you can buy similar generals of the next age with coins instead I think it is true when we say about bad generals. But what about decent generals? They could be useful at least at some distance. 1. Moctezuma. He is available form beginning, has good abilities, is not expensive to upgrade. Some experienced players (Singlemalt and Andrei) made use of him even in the end-game. In my opinion it is definitely worth consider upgrading him. 2. Hannibal. If the first star general in the team is not Attila, then Hannibal could be very useful in early stages. Where are limits of his development? I think - war elephants and Braveness (level 5-6). 3. Robin Hood. Also could be useful especially with longbowmen and especially in early conquests. 4. Cleopatra. Some players (von Manstein) even think she could be end-game general. It is an arguable point, but she has good abilities. Personally I never used these generals. But I am not sure that I was right. And, as I said, there is a point upgrading these generals, though there will be better generals in latter stages. This point is - to receive every reward playing invasions and to achieve as many missions as possible as soon as possible in Empire mod. |

stoic, But since Nelson gets Longbow at level 6, I think it is natural to stop using Robin, and get Nelson if you want that ability so bad. I upgraded Robin to Crossbowmen, but I would rather have left him as longbowmen. I gave Hannibal level 5 braveness, and upgraded him to war elephant. No more than that. Only Moctezuma and Cleopatra are possibly end game.
