I would suggest getting a good cheap cavalry gen very soon however. True, cavarly is really powerful. Especially in conquest. Maybe grinding all the way to murat would be very beneficial. You can beat extremely far into the game just with him and nobody else. Very true, but Murat is very expensive to new players of this game. This why I suggest getting one such as Ney,who has great skills and will help to get to ultimate goal of achieving Murat/Dabrowski or better yet Lan. |

Let my first be the new king of WC4 before I try EW6. Gotta get started completing those daily missions tho Don’t worry, I’m doing them! Most invasions are quite easy with my current roster unless they are from the Cold War. I can also do most of the tasks. Already got the Freedom Medal for Manstein, the Knight Medal for Rundstedt and the Golden Star Medal for Dowding. |

Anyway, I already know that Massena is a must-have.

Complimenting my comment, Massena is, along with Karl, the best Infantry general in the game. And what’s best: He’s only 1340 medals! You can get him after you 24-star Declaration of Independence and do some auto-Netherlands 1798 conquests. He makes all of his medals count. Will never disappoint you, very reliable. 5 stars, Massena is a must-have General.

I may be biased but massena is best Massena is definitely very good. There are many things he is better than karl at even when they are on a team together. Karl and massena are polar opposites and compliment each other very well imo. Karl can kill cavarly and fight well on jungles whereas massena can defend and destroy cities very well |

Massena: Wait, what is Berlin anyway?
(A display of his great city cracking skills)

Also worthy of mentioning, this guy is on an old guard in 1806. The only generals as strong as him on the map are Karl Wellesley and Mahmud II

Honestly despite him being great, I'm just not using him a lot these days because I don't like infantry all that much. Infantry deals just about as much damage as artillery against most land units because musket and long barreled gun are only good against light cav, light art, and line inf (and assault inf, but that unit doesn't exist). And Artillery have huge attack stats compared to infantry and even cavalry to partly make up for that -25% damage. Infantry isn't even more cost efficient than cavalry are. Light cavalry is better than line infantry, and lancers are better than riflemen and grenadiers. The only two advantages that infantry has on cavalry imo, is that they can be spawned from cities, and that grenadiers, and ONLY grenadiers can siege. Except you could get a heavy art for 30 more gold. And heavy art is more survivable because it has 2 range and heavy armor instead of crappy light armor, and is just about as good at sieging if not better. Really the only thing I use infantry for in conquests are defending and militia guerillas.
I only use him if I'm given a grenadier at the start, but I don't know, I should probably use him more, and still 5 stars because he's the 2nd best general of a unit type despite that unit type being kinda mediocre.

Infantry is good because they are very cheap to spawn and can do a lot of damage. But later on I agree, artillery has a lot of advantages to infantry. Probably entry to late game though (very late game is when infantry sux), massena is a solid general who can take us really far into the game along with murat. |

I guess I am in that very late game then! But no, infantry isn't much cheaper than cavalry imo. Line infantry has the same price as light cav, and riflemen and grenadiers have around the same price as a lancer. and inf has the lowest attack stats on average + a really mediocre weapon type. Eh, i dunno, if inf is bad in the late game, how come they're good early on? |
