Best General

**pseudocaesar** · 09-18-2007, 15:52

I have heard a few posts here and there about it being particularly hard to get a general with ten stars, well...how about ten of everything. This guy is pretty much my main man ever. I rampaged through Africa with him, got on a ship, refitted, and conquered Greece up to the Elbe. I retired him a few years back on 10 command, 9 management and 10 influence. I just got the attuned governor trait, and another management point, bingo...ten stars on everything.

Hail, pseudocaesar!

Well done, I think when the next EB comes out I will try and match you.

For such a main man his retinue looks a tad poor, I would of groomed him more, 8 is the max number I think, and I would have them either all war or governer based. Do you not swop retinue's, or is it something you find tedius/unnecessary, or perphaps you find it wrong to tamper?

Well done indeed.
I was never able to raise above 4-5 stars.
How come did u manage that? Did you try to get many heroic victories in battles?

I didnt groom him to be anything at all, i just noticed after a while...hey this guy rocks. I think i got all the management points cos after i conquered a settlement id build heaps of happiness and public health buildings. How i do it, is i have one settlement with a full line of troops being levied, and as i conquer a region every three to five turns or so, i ship the units out there, make them the garrison and instantly move on and attack another army or settlement. The sheer number of battles i fought with this guy (over 50) is why he has the stars, and the influence is cos he never lost, and conquered like all of Africa and Greece lol.
