Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus has got me thinking, what would be the best lineups/dreamteams with all 3 IAPs? For me it's a purely intellectual exercise as I'll never buy them, but it could be interesting and/or useful for some. ArchCom: Washington, Nelson, Nobunaga, Li Hongzang; Khan, Attila; Napoleon, Li Shimin/Heihachiro CavCom: Khan, Atilla, Edward, Saladin; Washington, Nelson; Napoleon, Li Shimin/Heihachiro What would you guys go for?

Thanks for creating this. Actually this could be helpful. Boost all of your iaps since you already bought them. |

Yeah that's what I was going for, it might not necessarily be the optimal strategy though. We'll see what the other guys think. |

Not sure. I think I bought him either during Empire or Discovery and he has served me well ever since. HOWEVER, I rapidly lvl up his Brave skill to lvl 10 from the start so that's technically "cheating" in a sense that you use him at his first peak in power (no retaliation) |

I did the same thing to my napoleon. |

Hard for me to say never having used him myself (yet), but I'd guess it depends on which formation you were going for. If I were going Cav I'd probably buy him first & asap, if Arch then a little later on. |

I wouldn't buy Khan at all. So my hypothetical dream team is:
Attila-Blucher
Washington-Nobunaga-Li-Nelson-Yi Sun-sin.
Napoleon.
Or
Attila
Caesar
Washington-Nobunaga-Li-Nelson-Mocte
Napoleon

Or Attila Caesar Washington-Nobunaga-Li-Nelson-Mocte Napoleon Hmm, that might be worth considering. Khan was only two dollars and is pretty damn good for his price. Caesar has cure master and can heal my archers. Yi Sun-Sin might be like a rumor general, as if you get his morale drop to trigger twice than flank, you can rumor the enemy. I like the first idea more. But only two of the generals have rumor in that idea, which is my favorite skill. I’ll try it out. Thanks alot. What about in conquest. How would you recommend grouping up your generals in say discovery conquest, which yields the most resources. I guess I’ll buy nobunaga then yi sun-sin, then atilla, then nelson, and save the others for industrial age. I could also consider using bismarck for a while for his rumor ability. Once again, I can’t thank you enough. |

Once again, I can’t thank you enough. In Conquest, I call my best gens the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I send them to individually conquer the map via a few major directions. This depends on who the enemy ruler is. For example, will you send an Inf gen to meet Blücher, Suriyothai or Saladin in battle? Of course not! I'd send a a cav gen (Atilla for me) or an Archer gen ( Nobunaga Oda for me) to take them on. |

Pick out a general for the desirable unit type in the particular region before even starting the conquest. Do you have any of those issues where they die before they get far? |

Or Attila Caesar Washington-Nobunaga-Li-Nelson-Mocte Napoleon That's cheating, the parameters were if you had all 3 IAPs. Still, if you can live with wasting the $2.50 or whatever that you've already spent on Khan I guess we can allow it  |

And true, but you can use him for a while honestly so he is worth the cost. He is good but not as good as Atilla |

Once again, I can’t thank you enough. Actually the main idea behind using Blucher and Yi Sun-Sin in one team is the fact that (like Commander skills) Armor master skills stack together. I don't remember exactly how it works, but around 75% of damage can be reduced when this skill is triggered simultaneously by both generals. Funny enough, but no-one has tried it until now  Some of us had Blucher in the team, Singlemalt had Yi Sun-Sin, but no-one had both of them. It looks tempting |

That could quite handy in invasions. |

Some of us had Blucher in the team,
