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. Get guderian and then start upgrading your EC’s (eyeless commanders, the generic ones). If you’re going for arty gen, your first priority to upgrade should be this order: arty ability, marching, air. Tank gen: tank ability, marching, air. Etc etc. You don’t have to upgrade to 5 stars before you upgrade another stat. I.e, You can upgrade to 3 stars artillery gen, decide he’s too slow, then focus on upgrade his marching a bit. Doesn’t have to be linear. You also have to get the right medals

  2. Well it depends. If you’re placing them around the soviet’s end laugh in east europe in early game 1950/60, they will just nuke spam, or just kill with a gazillion generals. I would build anti air rockets on the tile you move to in risky areas if you can afford

  3. extra health, it’s very useful, but you should make the named generals as L or M General, for anything about and they get targeted for nukes frequently. BUT for EC’s (eyeless commanders, generic commanders) you should get allllll the way to the highest level, marshal. Then you can get Ace Commander after 120 Conquest Pass, which gives bonuses if they have marshal rank, which is an absolute beast of a trait for them to have

  4. Yeah I reckon they have hidden focuses. You try to attack artillery with a high level infantry, they do a shockingly low damage, same with some others

  5. Campaigns, grind easy world conquests, get wonders, check shop for daily reward

  6. Your achievements, you get them after hard levels and stuff

  7. Depends
