Background
Before the 20th century, Winfield Scott was the most influential general in the United States after George Washington. His illustrious military exploits and leadership deeply influenced the history of the United States!
In 1841, Scott became the Commanding General of the United States Army and reformed the United States Army, which greatly improved its tactics, quality, and equipment. In February 1847, Scott captured the enemy city by a naval assault and finally won the invasion with 13,000 troops. This invasion was known as "up to that time the most ambitious amphibious expedition in human history." When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Winfield Scott made the "Anaconda Plan" for the North. President Lincoln and General Grant adopted his plan and finally won the Civil War.
Winfield Scott was recognized as one of the greatest generals in American history for his outstanding strategic talents and leadership!

Winfield Scott is not very strong compared to the new ranged generals released in 2024, but for players who are just starting to play this game, he can be used as an early PVP ranged general because the general can be recruited directly in the Tavern and the training cost is not high.
Combinations:
Winfield Scott conflicts with most ranged generals that can be recruited from the tavern, such as Edward the Black Prince, Jumong, Vladimir the Great, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, and Li Shimin.
Among other ranged generals that cannot be obtained from the tavern, Winfield Scott conflicts with Elektra, Louis IX, Henry V, Tachibana Ginchiyo, and Subutai.
After experimentation, it was found that Winfield Scott can be combined with most archer generals whose skill description is "leading the army to attack", for example:
- Princess Kaguya
- Douglas
- Mihai
- Algernon Sidney
- Simeon the Great
- Merlin
- Marcus Agrippa
- Godfrey of Bouillon
- Sigurd
- Charles XII
- Eleanor
- Alfred the Great
Skill Books:
When Winfield Scott is the main general, the assistant general cannot use 'Ranged Troop Attack' skill books, but Winfield Scott himself can.
Moreover, other skill books we recommend include ranged troop range bonus, ranged troop defense and HP, and march size capacity.
