ヒントとコツ

Generals offer respectable bonuses but tend to shine best when combined with synergistic officers. また, generals can be assigned to forts and towns and will provide bonuses beyond just the stuff like the tax output.

• Try putting hunter generals in cities. They will reduce the food cost of that city by 60%! This means you could crank up the slider to consume 150% of the food needed and you would still save 10%!
• Range buffing generals can buff camp or city garrison attacks like they would any other ranged unit
• View Distance buff generals can also buff city view distance, which is a respectable size to start with once it gets stone walls, meaning loss of area around the city, and neighboring ones are visible
• Try combining the Raider and Hunter officers along with a general of either kind. の 60% visibility distance reduction allows for simple ambushes
• Archer Officer, Archer General, and Scout can make any ranged unit very capable. And if an archer has all three, it is a terror.
• Stacking bonuses for a major stat can really shape a unit
• You can’t have two of the same type of officer, but you can have an officer that is the same type as the general. Which enables doubling up on boosts.
• Experiment with combinations. different units may benefit differently from the same general
• Some premade starting generals you can choose to start with has more points spent than the 3 point limit given to customize your own general
• When making your own, consider what you want to use the starting general for.
• Roman legionnaires are very versatile, and the officer and general buffs can be used to emphasize specific aspects. Like their range attack, close combat abilities, or ambush tactics
• Range ambush reduces attack range, but that can be effectively negated via archer gen and officer bonuses, allowing deadly bonuses without having the enemy be almost on top of your ranged unit.
