Focusing on any game takes a lot of time.
Using money in game is an investment which you never get paid pack. Only reward here is satisfaction.
Back to the topic:
There is no formula to beat the game, there never will be.
Most of the people here are experienced players, who probably made a mistake somewhere on the road to end game.
I will do a quick summary to help you evade bad decisioning (for long term planing)
1. Classical age:
Medal earnings:
Campaign: (16 missions x 50 medals) = 800 medals
Time playing: (1 to 7 days) = 30 ~ 210 medals
Miscellaneous rewards: Alexander the Great
Summary: Gold General + 830~1010 medals
2. Medieval age:
Medal earnings:
Campaign (19 missions x 80 medals, 2 missions 120 medals) = 1760 medals
Time playing (1 to 7 days) = 50 ~ 350 medals
Miscellaneous: Paladin Armor
Summary: Paladin Armor + 1810 ~ 2110 medals
Achievement summary for classical and medieval: Rounded up to 900 medals (can vary ~300 medals both directions)
3. Empire age:
Medal earnings:
Campaign (19 missions × 100 medals, 2 missions 150 medals) = 2200 medals
Time playing (3 to 21 days) = 270 ~ 2010 medals
Miscellaneous: Paladin Ring
Summary: Paladin Ring + 2470 ~ 4210 medals
4. Discovery age:
Medal earnings:
Campaign (19 missions × 125 medals, 2 missions 180 medals)= 2735 medals
Time playing (14 to 70 days) = 1470 ~ 7350 medals
Miscellaneous: Paladin Boots
Summary: Paladin Boots + 4205 ~ 10085 medals
Achievement summary for empire and discovery: Rounded up to 2450 medals (can vary ~500 medals both directions)
Medal using:
Note:
It is important for you to have an insight of your end-game team even in the beginning.
The first decisions are the ones that are the most costly, later resulting in restarts if the player is dedicate and knows what he is doing.
Stating off, the game gives you 500 medals and around 1000 medals for completing the first age.
You will not waste any medals except on Robin Hood and Hannibal (upgrading to 2 stars).
By the time you are in mid medieval age, your first purple/gold tier hero will be bought.
With him, you can pass the medieval campaign with ease, resulting in ~1800 medals if nothing was upgraded.
Starting the empire age campaigns, you will quickly get medals for 2nd purple/gold hero.
At this point, every medal goes to upgrading these 2 heroes + exception is Hannibal to 3 stars.
Ending the empire age, you will also get Barbarossa, Saladin and Lincoln (Safest keep is Saladin, upgrade Barbarossa to 3 stars if you want, but no further).
Starting Discovery age, campaigns get really hard and I cannot give exact info, depends on your determination in passing these campaigns and your play time, that increases your medals constantly. You will most likely buy 3rd gold/purple general and save some medals for the transition to gunpowder age.
If somebody wants to make the calculation for gunpowder and industrial age, be my guest.
Any help and advice is welcome.

I quite like Barbra. He isn't the bad if you're going for a balanced and/or infantry line-up.
Edit-Upgrading certain gens isn't that bad, either. Asoka on Mahout is amazing for a decent bit, and Robin Hood should get to Medieval due to longbows.

TK421, Asoka on mahout is only decent during medieval age, where your main fort craker is already Alexander (you surely wont leave a free gold general behind). His damage is sufficent for the time being together with free cleopatra. In empire age comes the time an artillery general is really needed. Buying Li Shimin here is the right choice since he can carry the fort cracking duty by himself all the way to industrial age.

I'm currently nearing the empire era, and have 1000 medals, roughly. I already got attila, and plan to get nobunaga. Therefore, I may be going into a decent bit of it with just Cleo. I also intend to get Richard and Blucher. |

I also intend to get Richard and Blucher. Asoka is not that viable. Grey generals do very poorly against superior-age opponents, particularly cavalry ones. You'll have to upgrade Cleo and her Inspiration skill a bit, and could possibly last until Bismarck. |

He is for CavCom only, and he's a blue. And I mark him over Edward in CavCom. |

Still not done with gunpowder so I'm not able to give precise informations about most of the things here. Thank you for reminding me though ☺ |

I am a "free to play" player as you put it. Have not spent a dime. Had to restart once as I made some errors with medals to the wrong generals. I bought li shimin (2nd time around, had khalid and cleopatra before and they suck), moctezuma (2nd time, cheap and ), catherine (2nd time, cheap). maxed out leadership level for moctezuma. the leadership skill very important on defeating other generals in the game. saladin is my beast. upgrade logistics to at least lvl 6. I send him in anywhere and charge his health as long as you get the kill shots on units. defeats many units. 50 medals away from buying nobunaga. I bought him first time around and he is the best. upgrade both skills to lvl 6 for leadership and spy. currently on great patriot 3. any advice that you need let me know

He is a good cav General, not saying he is bad, but he doesn't have those great cav skills like Attila does he has logistics but if he is not lv6 archers shred him he is one of the better freebies but I have no use for him, he is good for conquest tho.
