What I’m working on in Rise of Kingdoms

This post is to organize my thoughts and where I’m going for commanders and equipment. I don’t cover armaments because that is a 100% luck-driven system, no need to plan for anything as it’s all random. Pick wedge for skill and arch for smite and then don’t pay much attention.

Commanders

Expertise TBD List (MGE or Wheel noted by color)Already Expertised Legendary
1. Justinian (5123) – rally, field
2. Tariq ibn Ziyad (5531) – rally, field
3. Save for next garry commander (but skip archer cycle)

Daily. Tomyris (5342) – poison with HermannP!

Wheel only (no universals):
(Arc). HermannP (upcoming), Zhuge (5552)
(Cav). Joan Prime (5215)
