Like in previous games and the newly released game of EW6 I had always preferred a balanced amount of generals. Considering the game gives me 8 slots to use in conquests, I’m trying to find the 2 best generals of each category of archer, cavalry and etc.
I’m planning on spending some quick bucks too not for medals but for literature since I don’t want to waste my time waiting for daily missions to finish.
One thing for sure is that Washington and other IAP generals have taken a spot in the categories so the one I really need is Infantry, which is hard considering Alexander right now is the one who mains it.

Well I'd say top infantry contenders would be Caesar, Barbarossa, Peter, Richard, maybe Petain. stoic will have the best advice in that regard. I'd suspect the main issue with a balanced lineup is hitting hard enough as you're limited to 1 or 2 commanders per category, in fact I think you'd be the first to do it with that formation so it will be great if you can pull it off! |

Ironically, I had a similar idea of using a balanced line-up in my original run. I had Nobunaga, Saladin, Alexander, Atilla, Li Shimin, Bismarck, Catherine an Babarossa/Caesar as my main team. Now, I don't have time to close the gap between Discovery & Industrial Age. |

I think we always have to pay an attention to demands of the game. So the main point is to complete the game not to have balanced lineups. My opinion is that 2-2-2-2 formation is too fragile.
First of all because none of IAP generals is a Commander. It means, for example, that two best archers in the game - Washington and Nobunaga will be chronically weak in the end game instead of being the main weapon of the team.
Second, we should have enough generals in the team with necessary skills such as Leadership. None of IAP generals has Leadership as well. In the endgame all our generals will be weaker than their opponents and our only chance is to remedy this by a team strategy and synergy. That is the most important thing in EW5.

During conquests, I use Alexander, Jebe, Koxinga, and Robin Hood. For campaigns, it varies. i like to throw in Hannibal, Columbus, and Barbarossa.

I would say cavarly is not really that good till gunpowder, as it will recieve less damage from archers. You don’t need it early in the game. But Blucher and Atilla are the best generals. But only get Blucher once you are in industrial, as he will get logistics for free. Till then, he is just Suleiman 2.0, who is not worth getting. Atilla you can get whenever you want. Saladin is ok, but you have to upgrade his logistics to lvl 3 and get him to 4 stars before he can effectively farm Classical for Resources.
For infantry, the only one worth getting early game is richard, who is also good at farming, and maybe caesar. But I suggest you wait. Peter is overpowered at industrial age, so only buy him once you are in industrial. You don’t really need infantry early in the game. Also, Lincoln is decent at farming classical, and it costs less than 300 to get him lvl 4 logistics. I suggest buying Li Shimin and or Nobunaga for your medals early on.
As for archers, there are many great generals here. I suggest getting Nobunaga, Catherine, and Jhansi, but Robin hood is also good in medieval as he has 3 range. End game archers are: Nobunaga, Nelson. But the iap washington is overpowered and a good buy.
As for cannons, cleopatra, maybe khalid, and Li Shimin are good choices. For end game, you can consider Bismarck, but his industrial upgrade is not worth it, not even close. Li Shimin is better than napoleon for a while, if you get him to 4 stars, he is better than napoleon all the way until industrial. This is due to his logistics skill. However, at industrial, napoleon is better than li shimin as he gains logistics as his final ability.
