So decided to restart although I only got to gunpowder campaign. And since reading other posts and based on previous experiences I have the following questions. 1. Is Atilla worth it with ghengas and Saladin. 2. Is li shimin worth it when you could get cleopatra, Columbus, Bismarck, or Konzaga for a cheaper price. 3. Is the paladin sword really worth buying, if so, should we buy early on or wait till other 3 are acquired? 4. Nobuganda is a must, so is Richard, are any other generals a must? If so please give reason and any other advice or ideas! Thanks in advance  |

1. Not sure. His commander skill powers the other cavalry up, potentially very much, but 3 cavalry is a bit much unless you want a cavalry line up (seems like EW5 hard mode) I guess if you used Atilla and Genghis only, but whatever.
2. Colombus and probably Koxinga are not nearly as good artillery, Columbus is plain bad in several ways, while Koxinga has no great skills (one good ability at level 6 though, which Shimin also has)
2.2 As for Bismarck, he is no match but could be useful, currently using him myself but don't plan to keep him. I believe 2 fort busters would be better than one though. Cleopatra is debatable, I don't think she is good enough but there are people who do.
3. I'd say so. Its a strong weapon which completes a set, and once completed you get 1,000 medals back. I waited until I had the other three, I don't think early on is good Idea-should focus on getting generals, need them to progress.
4. I am getting Richard, not sure he is a MUST though.
4.2 I will have to think on it.

I've heard peter is good at lvl 6 (can attack without retaliation) Richard maybe isn't a must but definitely is good with mass fire and logistics. Attila is much better than Saladin, but he is still costly.

If you are on CavCom path, Attila is a must, along with at least 1 more CavCom (Asoka and Edward, I recommend Asoka personally). 2. He is replaceable with Cleopatra and Bismarck, maybe even Khalid (not quite sure), Columbus and Koxinga simply don't worth your medals. 3. It worth buying, not sure when though. Maybe later in the game when your generals are solid enough. 4. No one is a must in this game, simply put. Not even Nobunaga (CavCom and InfCom guys survive without him, but of course he is always great to have no matter which lineup it is). |

I do not understand honestly why restarting is so popular nowadays. Of course we all make miscalculations and misjudgments. But at a later stage player could easily conquer 155 cities. That means - 400 medals per 24 hr. It can with ease remedy previous mistakes without gathering that ... (put themselves here a bad word :0) ... literature.

True, 400 per day can give you a maximized Caesar (most expensive of all) in 1 month. |

forhonor, If you restart, or already have, can you tell me what the purple generals and gold generals you get, how many medals they need to upgrade to medieval empire, and for Gold discovery? I don't know if you plan to upgrade Alexander at all, but just seeing what it costs when he is at classical era would be helpful. I am making a list of the upgrade costs, that is why I ask. 1. Manstein makes a good point, at least to some extent. Atilla would be very useful to power up Genghis, and Saladin too if you HAVE to have him. Atilla is good on his own, I have him. 4. You should get a good archer general, whichever one you choose (Nobunaga or Nelson, Washington but I don't think you are buying him) and you already have Genghis so you have the bare minimum of Cavalry, though 1 or 2 more wouldn't hurt. Manstein is correct, many generals can be replaced. However I think the point of restarting is doing things better, and you need info to do that. I think Richard, Genghis, and Nobunaga are a great start.

I'll makes list as I get them upgraded, I enjoy restarting because it allows for different strategies and etc. like trying out different generals. Li shimin is a boss(like Caesar), just wish they weren't so expensive.

Byzantineball, gold (Alex and such) generals>classic age to medival is 200 medals
Purple(Attila) is 150
Blue> (Hannibal) pretty sure it's 100
And grey is either 100 or 50 medals. I'll double check later today

For Richard he is a alright infantry commander up to 5* his logistics and rumor make him good...Then comes 6 star and he is turned very powerful...and to think I bought him on accident lol was VERY VERY WORTH 2000 MEDALS I THINK!

That's why I prefer him over Caesar. Not to get off topic to the other thread, but I think it's relevant. For a good line-up you'll want what your lacking. Alexa replaces Caesar, especially with Joan and Barbra. Therefore, while many recommend him, one might be better off getting him later. However, Caesar is best bought early. This is where the conflict comes into play.
So, considering this, you're best going for Atilla and Nabunaga first. That hinders Caesar a bit, thus making Richard a far more viable pick.
