Generals

Number of kills the gen has made throughout your use of him in the game.

It does not have any contribution to the general like it used to do in the old GoG

The main advantage in my opinion for a general is not his stars but his skills. Skills such as tide of iron are very important, as a unit’s output will decrease quite quickly once it health falls below 50%. This will make Patton on a super tank feel more like a BB gun once his health is low enough. However, a general such as Rommel, will he capable of doing up to 50 or 60 damage even with 1 hp left, whereas Patton won’t be able to crack 5, unless he is in a city, in which he will do around 30-40 damage, but thas with a terrain bonus. This is very important in the cold war era, as a very strong general such as Mainstein will suffer dearly from the lack of this skill. Generals such as Bagrayam, Zhukov, and Konev are saved by these skills.

Another very strong advantage is a terrain bonus. It adds + 20 output at max level and can make your output rise super high. As you can imagine, this works very well with the tide of iron. For example, generals with a terrain bonus and high level of tide of iron will do massive amounts of damage even with 1 hp, just look at guderian. However, even a general with a high tide of iron bonus but weak or no terrain bonus (Timoshenko) won’t be completely saved when his health falls low enough, and he will deal less or the same damage than mainstein once his health is very low. All terrain bonus’ are equal, however, some are harder to use than others as they occur much less frequently. For example, desert fighting is a skill that will only trigger when in africa, whereas Plain and Jungle fighting will trigger all the time. Generals such as Crerar, Sun Lr, and Schorner are saved by these skills.

There are many other great skills such as explosives (damage against cities and forts is massive), wolfpack (a very good skill on naval units), supply (might be weak levels but it is always active (good in conquest), and ace forces (very good in campaign). There are also skills such as blitzkrieg and raider which save you from retaliation, and they are quite handy.

Lastly we come to the stars. In my opinion, the most important feature a general can have in this category is high movement, as everything else you can more or less balance out with good skills. Good movement is crucial to being able to cross oceans, conquest, and keeping up with your main wave of generals. This is the achilles heel to generals such as Vatutin, Graziani, and Govorov, who have low movement, while saving generals such as Timoshenko, Devers, and Bai from becoming obsolete. A generals stars in a particular category give him some output when put on that particular unit, with the most amount of output given to a unit with 5 stars in a particular category. However, like I said stars are less important than skills. Take for example Eisenhower and Bai. They have the same amount of stars in artillery. However, most of the time Bai’s output will be much higher due to him having both plain fighting and artillery barrage.

So in summary, choose a general based on his skills and skill levels or choosing someone who has good stars. Look for the following skills in generals: a terrain bonus and tide of iron. There are rare occuranes in which there is a good general without both skills, Mannerheim. When you are on navy, there is no tide of iron skill to save you, but wolf pack is more or less the equivalent of plain fighting. Good luck. Try not to spend too much money on this game, as my own stupidity resulted in my spending over 100$ on in app purchases for this game.

Badoglio. Italian general. Universally agreed that he is the best starting general in the game. If you can’t afford him, crerar (San Francisco) is the next best thing

thanks

What is medal wonders or San Francisco create?

Hi friedrich. Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus, I like your phrase, have you created it?

"I'm practically a loose cannon, a rogue if necessary.
However, sometimes I work well with others ... when I am working behind the scenes and not in advance (because I can not do things right directly). "

try to win as much challenges, missions and conquest as you can with what you have and save medals for really good ones.
adding just one movement star and one air on my EC generals got me pyramids and cusco. with medals I won during that i bought Govorov about 8 days since starting the game; with his help and wonders, I had enough for Guderian 6 days later. with them won everything, but needed help of good air/navy general to unlock terracotta and that last industry wonders, that's why next one was Yamamoto.

imho, quality > quantitie. top or nothing.
