saltin , I suggest the four most OP generals ingame on the banner (you know, the ones whose names start with B, G, G, and P): Budyonny, Graziani, Gamelin and Portal I feel embarrassed to not know one of them... Um... *hides the stupid question* Who's Portal? (I guess he's so underpowered, I couldn't bother seeing him there in the academy! ) Portal is a Brit (aka he's navy). Still far from the actual BGGP of Bado, Guderian, Govorov and Patton XD

Portal is from the royal airforce, a British dude

Portal is from the royal airforce, a British dude Sorry, I should be more clear. I knew who the other 3 were. I actually didn't remember Portal being in the game at all. That's quite embarrassing... ME?! I am pretty halfway decent/good at WC3.

Just went on the laptop solely to see the banners, saltin . I recommend that if you pick generals to insert into the WC3 banner... Pick somebody who doesn't look almost as if he had some weird lip surgery like Bai. But then... Monty looks so annoying with his goofy-looking portrait too. Perhaps a poll? lol saltin , I suggest the four most OP generals ingame on the banner (you know, the ones whose names start with B, G, G, and P): Budyonny, Graziani, Gamelin and Portal YOU STAY AWAY FROM PORTAL! Or should I be angered at Graziani? Budyonny is Kahia Lite so it makes sense. I think the stupid thing is how Graziani has 2 level 1 skills. If he had l evel 2 Supply, level 2 Ace Forces, Level 4 Defense Art, level 2 (switch to 3?) Tide of Iron how would you think of him? It also annoys me how a otherwise great general Rommel has level 1 Anti-Armour. Like I don't know if this is based on IRL, well Rommel's certainly is but what about the level? It feels like a big fat nothing.

ME?! I am pretty halfway decent/good at WC3. Portal Is in the defence of Britain in conquests, and appears as a british general in at least 1 Middle Eastern level. Or maybe JUST 1 I dunno. He isn't the smallest bit part, though its a very large race on that. In anycase *RAGES THAT PORTAL WAS A REAL HUMAN WHO FOUGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY* I just read that he extremely advocated bombing german cities. Huh. Also he apparently impressed the Americans but not you

Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but why are some of the folder icons on fire? Is that supposed to mark an active thread or something?

The fortnite trailer makes our look so much like a gearbox game that it surprised me that it was by the Gears of War guys

Forgot about Plaek, but Greim is arguably better than Gamelin. True. But he's worse than Graziani, so I thought Greim deserved a spot in the bad list more than Graziani did.

I agree with the list by manstein. Greim is 4 Air stars for 460 medals, so he is definitely among the "beginner" generals which are pickable but aren't the best or last to use. He gets beat by Ozawa in health and navy ability, and while myself would note that Greim hits harder on Artillery, well Ozawa is faster, healither and shouldn't be on artillery. Meanwhile Graziani is 1930 medals, a price that makes him despite his general rank a debatable choice. His FOUR skills are either absurdly low or low, though all normally good/acceptable. Meanwhile he has only 4 stars in Tank and 0 Movement whatsoever. At least Montgomery has movement and Greims air stars. Graziani is probably a waste. I myself wouldn't pick Greim, but he is potentially of a better caliber, despite being Literally worse than Graziani in power and durability. 1 on 1 Greim would lose, but the reason for having them is quite different. Edit: Leonidas from EW5 is better than Gamelin. GAMELIN IS SO BAD HE HAUNTS ME IN GOG1

I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings animalculous: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's; I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox, I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus, In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous; I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies, I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes! Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore, And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform, And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin", When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin, When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at, And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat", When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery, When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery – In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury, Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century; But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
