The Generals | Raven Phase Divinity: DC Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Generals play a crucial role in the game. As a dragon, during one turn, you can play only one battle. If, within one turn, the situation requires that you play more skirmishes, you can designate a general as the commander to increase your chances in an automatic battle. If you are going to fight an automatic battle, it is best to check out which one of the commanders gives you the highest, percent, chance of winning. Still, you should remember that it costs the national treasure additional gold to use a general. Male generals will, at first, demand a higher pay than female ones but, both pays will be equal after the implementation of the decision of gender equality. Generals are of their own mind and they not necessarily agree with this decision and/or like the player, and each other. Each one starts with a set of two special skills but, as their individual stories develop, you will be granted the opportunity to unlock additional skills.
