leakin Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I personally like the generals better. GK are ok but i found you had to be carefull who you picked to be them or you would be officaly (pardon me) screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) That depends. In Genealogy, the bloated maps make it hard to use Generals and their poor movement. In Thracia, the maps aren't so big, making Generals a little easier to use. But then again, Brighton and Hicks can cap defense fairly easily, so whatever (Generals can use all four weapon types, though). In Sacred Stones, it basically comes down to 1 movement versus slightly better caps and Great Shield. I would say the extra movement wins because Great Shield sucks and slightly higher caps don't make much of a difference. Though the Great Knight sprite in Stones looks like crap to me, so I still choose Generals. Edited September 3, 2008 by Musashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think I like Great Knights better myself. No particular reason. I just like em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The only general I ever liked was Oswin, and Great Knights were pretty awesome in Genealogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakin Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 One thing i'm trying to figure out. What's the diffrence between Marshall (FE9-10) and General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 One thing i'm trying to figure out.What's the diffrence between Marshall (FE9-10) and General. For one, Marshalls weren't in FE9. Marshall is the generals promotion, and has full weapon triangle coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Great Knights as a class are actually pretty bad in Genealogy. They don't have pursuit and are locked into the worst weapon type in the game. Their only redeeming quality is the Hero Axe; without it, Lex and Johan are almost completely irrelevant. In fact, Johan is probably irrelevant even with the Hero Axe. =/ Even with all that in mind, Generals are still worse than Great Knights in Genealogy.

Well, Lex was pretty good. Johan was pretty much crap, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan's Aokage Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I haven't played much into FE4 yet (One quarter into the games Prologue), so I resevre comment. But in Sacred Stones, I prefer Generals. I hate GK battle animation anyway >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanccl Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 In Sacred Stones, it basically comes down to 1 movement versus slightly better caps and Great Shield. I would say the extra movement wins because Great Shield sucks and slightly higher caps don't make much of a difference. Though the Great Knight sprite in Stones looks like crap to me, so I still choose Generals. I thought Great Knights had reduced max movement speed back down to 6. It's been awhile since I actually had a GK, though, because I this playthrough, the only Cavalier I used was Forde and I turned him into a Paladin. Either way, I go with General. Generals are weak to hammers and people with magic, while Great Knights are weak to Longswords and Halbreds, which I always seemed to come across way more often. Honestly, the horse units in most FE games I've played are kind of boring. Because they all have "average" stat gains, they always get screwed for me in everything. Oscar got to level 14 in Path of Radiance for me with 9 strength, defense, and speed for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 In FE8, Generals. Better caps, vulnerable only to armor-effective weapons (while Great Knights are vulnerable to both armor-effective and horse-effective weapons), and the Greak Shield skill. I haven't played FE4/FE5 enough to know how GKs fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only 1 horse unit in FE7 that's balanced, and that's Kent. :/ Thought I'm guessing you've yet to play FE7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noremaC Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 i like generals, they look badass, are badass and kick umm badass and the GK's sprite is a turnoff, they just seem like bigger paladins with less movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Stats & Abilities(If any):Generals win this obviously but their ability is pretty uneccessary since most have MONSTER def. anyway... Coolness:Both, Generals are great and Great Knights are...great. Animation:Personally I hate both. First who turns around to hit someone? Also Generals' animation is really boring to watch, ESPECIALLY in the last chapter of FE 10. lol. These can be cured with turning animation off, but what's the fun in that?

If something like a Mage Knight (Which is pretty useless considering there are Valkyrie) comes back, would the game be automatically better? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
