So, I've managed to get through lvl 5 campaigns with flying colors. Maybe infantry-based team is not a paradox after all, but a sensible strategical decision... Of course, I'm not one of those mighty and terrible chinese guys who can complete the game with any line-up you wish :0) But I'm still alive and I know what to do next... I've heard an opinion that two art generals are necessary for lvl 6, ... so I've decided to introduce another inf general into the team :0) Yes, yes that is Alex. He is good in defense, he can use "Commander" skills, he has a great bonus against fort units. Last but not least he is the only free golden general we have, and I was always sorry to leave him behind. So maybe a dubious decision, but I believe in his talents...  |

Leaving him behind, at least in my opinion, shouldn't be done unless you get Caesar. Alex leaves Caesar behind, because we don't really need infantry at the beginning, but still outclasses him slightly. Caesar is best gotten early, as well. What you did was actually quite smart, all things considered. |

Yes, in the beginning we have 3 obvious paths:
Li Shimin
Attila
Caesar
Caesar is the least probable choice. First and foremost because of Alex.
With IAP gens - the same story. You simply do not need Caesar for the time beeing. And then time is gone...

With infantry Commander used Alex could be even better substitute for the second Artillery.
The only inconvenience is that he needs to get to the walls to attack it. That will be quite interesting to see Your experience.
Good luck!

You simply do not need Caesar for the time beeing. And then time is gone... Yes. With him, it's a hit or miss. He requires a decent bit of beefing up to be REALLY powerful, so you really have to get him early for that reason. If you don'y get him, by the...say, third era (?) then he isn't worth it. For Infantry, we have Alexander, Barb, Joan. For Cavalry, we have Hannibal (or Huo, depending on your preferences), Asoka, and Saladin. For archers, we have age 2 Robin, and most likely Moct. So, your archers need someone, who would most likely be Nobunaga. Your cavalry needs a slight beefing up, if your going for a balanced or cavalry set-up, so Attila is a great option. Li Shimin is great, because you Cleo can only last so long, and his abilities are amazing. Infantry is perfectly fine, mostly due to Barb and Alex because they're potential end tiers. Therefore, Caesar is only an option if your going for an infantry line-up. Even then, again, he requires a decent bit of beefing. Especially Cure master, which isn't cheap, because that's one of his primary bonuses to the team. In conclusion, leaving Alexander behind was a decent idea. Not the best, not the worst. The line-up you went for warranted it, yet Alexander would have fit in nicely. Caesar was no doubt expensive as all heck, as well, further making Alexander slightly less needed. |

 Today I've completed Osaka. So if by chance someone has a question: is it possible to complete all defensive missions and obtain boots of Keel with infantry-emphasized team? The answer to that question will be: yes, it is possible. :-):-):-)

Ok. I've completed all campaigns (not all missions with 3 stars yet, but I work on that). So if by chance someone has 3 questions: Is it possible to complete campaigns with infantry? Is it possible to complete campaigns without IAP? Is it possible to complete campaigns without legendary sets? The answers are: yes, yes, yes :0) So now the main aim is to receive 3 stars for each single mission at lvl 6, and those cities in Empire...  |

 "And on the rim of the world Alexander wept bitterly because he had no more lands to conquer...". Well... I have something to conquer (some cities in Empire). But I officially completed all campaigns and recieved 3 stars for every single mission... And I've done this with 4 infantry generals... I am really glad that I could endure this marathon distance. It was not easy sometimes, but my infantry demonstrated outstanding abilities to overcome any obstacle... |

It was not an easy decision. But in the end Peter has more attacking potential and that was important for Commander. And Peter is the only general outside artillery who could trigger Rumor without retaliation. It was very effective from time to time. I was a bit worried about his defense, but he was almost completely ignored by most of the enemies...

I was impressed by his performance against my generals during Invasions... |

 Today I completed last autobattle Sapporo. As we know Autobattles have little to do with strategy or tactics. The most important thing is to choose wisely your generals. It is generally believed that archers are exellent for autobattles, while cavalry is prone to damage. And now we can make conclusion about infantry. Infantry-emphasized team thus is capable to complete all autobattles in the game... |

Infantry-emphasized team thus is capable to complete all autobattles in the game... How many tries did it take? Was it all smooth sailing, or rough riding? I would say the first one. After reaching 155 cities I did not pay much attention to Empite. And now it was one shot most of the time... |
