Menshikov: The Construction Speed Boost
The tavern in our favorite strategy game has introduced several new generals, and one of the most significant additions is Menshikov. As a tavern general, Menshikov comes with a unique skill called "Greedy Marshal," which boosts construction speed by 20% when he is assigned as the Keep officer. If You invest in developing Menshikov into a top-tier officer and position him in the Keep, you can greatly reduce the duration of constructing buildings. Considering the ever-increasing time required to build structures, this additional 20% speed boost can make a massive difference. Let's take a closer look at the other notable tavern generals and their skills.

Another essential general to acquire in the tavern is Gwon Ryul. When assigned to the workshop, Gwon Ryul's skill, "Lightning Strikes," provides a 5% increase in siege machine attack, defense, and HP.

Oleg's skill, "Kiev Conquest," grants a 5% increase in mounted troop attack, defense, and HP.

With Oleg in your ranks, your cavalry forces will become significantly more formidable, allowing for greater success on the battlefield.
Queen Boudica: The Wall General

Her skill, "Rebel Leader," provides a 15% increase in HP for in-city ground troops and mounted troops. Additionally, it grants a substantial 30% boost to in-city mounted troop attack. While not the most potent skill combination, Queen Boudica can fulfill the role of a wall general effectively when the need arises.
Abd al-Rahman I: Strengthening Ground Troops
Ground troops play a crucial role in any army, and having a reliable barracks general is essential. Abd al-Rahman I fits the bill perfectly in this regard. When assigned to the barracks, his skill, "Eagle of Conquest," increases ground troop attack, defense, and HP by 5%. Additionally, it enhances the training speed of ground troops by 20%. With Abd al-Rahman I supporting your ground forces, their combat capabilities will receive a significant boost.
John I of Portugal: Powering the Archers
Archers are often the backbone of ranged attacks, and having a capable general for the archer Camp is vital. John I of Portugal stands out as an excellent choice for this role in the tavern. His skill, "Ocean Expansion," provides a 20% increase in attack, defense, and HP for ranged troops. Furthermore, it boosts the training speed of ranged troops by 20%.

Acquiring Toyotomi Hideyoshi is highly recommended for players looking to maximize their attacking potential.
Jadwiga: Enhancing In-City Attacks
When it comes to in-city battles, having a general specialized in this area can make a significant difference. Jadwiga's skill, "Faith of Queen," provides a 30% increase in in-city mounted attack and a 25% increase in in-city siege attack when assigned to the wall.

Yue Fei: Loyalty to the Country
Yue Fei's skill, "Loyalty to the Country," is primarily focused on ground and mounted attacks. With this skill, Yue Fei increases ground and mounted attack by 25% and ground and mounted HP by 10% when attacking.

While Yue Fei may not be the first choice for a primary general, he can be a valuable temporary assistant general.
Kusonoki Masashige: Tactical Samurai for the Wall
For players seeking to fortify their walls, Kusonoki Masashige is a viable option available in the tavern. His skill, "Tactical Samurai," increases in-city mounted attack by 20% and in-city ranged attack by 35% when assigned to the wall.

Harald: Subordinate City Mayor
Harald brings a unique skill set to the tavern by serving as an excellent subordinate city mayor. His skill, "King of the Vikings," reduces enemy troop attack by 10% and enemy troop HP by 10%.

These buffs make Robert the Bruce an ideal candidate as a primary ground general or an assistant general in the short term. However, it's worth noting that his 4th specialty buff is only effective in in-city battles, which may limit his long-term value.
Cyrus the Great: King of Kings

While not particularly remarkable, the skill does offer a 15% increase in ranged and siege attack and a 25% increase in mounted attack when attacking.
