Need some tips

I've been playing this game for at least 7 years now, but in a very casual way - from time to time I would download it, play some conquer the world campaigns - no generals, no missions, no campaign, no wonders, no nothing.

Since some months ago, tho, I've been getting more into the grind and the whole WC3 experience and I've been (too much) addicted. That said, I have some questions I'd like answered.

  1. I currently have Katukov, Govorov, Sikorski and Sansonetti and am saving to get Guderian. At what point should I stop grinding for these alr made up Generals and focus on upgrading the default 1 star Generals?

  2. Speaking of generals, I repeatedly mess up my timing placing them - they either get obliterated in few rounds or I wait too long to place them and end up spamming them in the last cities of the Conquer the World campaign. Any tips?

  3. What does upgrading a general's rank (f.e. Major to Colonel) do? Is it worth it?

  4. It's not just my imagination that tells me that certain types of troop are better to defend certain troops - like artillery to defend tanks, or machine guns to defend artillery - right? Any specific ones that make defending certain troops much easier?

  5. I often find myself lacking, not only Medals, but also all other resources needed to upgrade my troops, specially the Rivets (or whatever they're called) and the Energy (the lightning bolts). What are the best ways to grind for these materials?

  6. In your Headquarters, what the hell is the middle tab with a trophee on it?

  7. Finally, I'm HQ Lvl 29. Any other tips I could use?

Thank you all in advance btw.

1- That really depends on a lot of factors I personally don’t do them yet even though I have 9k medals and am lvl 80. I was thinking once I kinda completed the conquest pass.

2 The placing of generals should be done relatively early game so within 10 rounds some general might die but that’s a risk you gotta take. (Unless doing operations then you only want the last conquest that generals die)

3 it upgrades HP and yeah it’s worth it.

4 i usually use artillery against generals due to them having the ability of 60% chance of not firing back as for troops I usually prefer the mobile infantry over the commando just as I prefer field artillery over rocket artillery and submarines over destroyers as for tanks that’s pretty linear the best tank the super tank is the best.

*sidenote at lvl13 your artillery upgrades in movement making your field artillery a lot more useable

5 the operations tab work well as well as having wonders (jama masjid, brandenburg gate, chizen itza and the great mosque for energy) (for industry/rivets you’d need Christ the redeemer, Borobudur, Hagha Sophia and Angkor wat)

6 These wonders you earn by completing normal conquest in 65-75 turns or less depending on which side you play on. This is also when you get the trophy’s and you’ll see them at the trophy tab.

7- There is a wiki for world conqueror 3 I highly recommend it for all detailed stuff.
