Special Note : Scipio vs Calus
The advantages of ground troops are high HP and defense. The disadvantage is low attack.
Reference: Troop Type Guide: Usage & Characteristics (Mounted, Ground, Ranged, Siege)
Therefore, if you want to improve the advantages of ground troops, choose Scipio, and if you want to compensate for the disadvantages, choose Calus.
Special Note : Robert the Bruce
If you look at just the basic skills, he seems to be a good ground PvP (attack) general, but assuming the specialty is maxed out, he is not a good PvP (attack) general because the fourth specialty is only active when he is a defense general.
- Skill – Ground Attack +15%, HP +25%, Mounted Attack +15%
- Specialties – Ground Attack +45%, HP +35%, Mounted Attack +35%, HP +25%, All Troops Attack +6%

What about new general Carus?
I added it to the article😃.
ANY GOOD equipment for trajan, is he good to add celtic demon dragon
It is best to equip a sword or something with a ground troop buff to the base attribute.
It works well with Celtic Demon, but if you don’t have a Lardon and you are raising a ranged troop general, it is often more useful to assign him/her to that.

Dear 222
I love that kind of Japanese spirit. 😀
But I want to be strong, so I am doing what the administrator says, inadvertently and surely.
Hi, regarding Scipio skill books, I am using ground speed, defense and hp. some says speed not needed and replace with attack. What is your suggestion. I thought its important to reach archers asap so used speed. once ground reach them even low attack of ground should take care of them, as def/hp are weak of archers.
Or should I keep speed and replace def or hp with attack?
Hi Naimul.😃
I have the same idea as you. (I prioritize speed, HP, defense)
Please take a look at the following article for an explanation of the skills you should put on a ground general.

Thanks for the response. Nice to know you think the same :D.
I will stick to it for now.
It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Author. I always refer to your various articles and enjoy playing your games every day.
I was hoping to get an Africanus, but now I understand that Trajan is just as good!
I’ll be sure to get him when he shows up in the tavern!
Since there are articles on archers and infantry, it would be nice to see some of the best cavalry generals!
Just published an article on the best generals in the cavalry! 😃
Best of Mounted PvP General
I got Nobunaga just because he’s Japanese like me, and I’ve been training him in a subordinate city, but looking at it this way, there’s an overwhelming difference between him and Trajan…
I think I’ll exchange Trajan for cash when I get him.
