In the game's words
How to use it
The General replaces the Explorer and is only available to the United States and Mexicans. It is available starting in the Exploration Age and, like the Explorer, is effective at fighting Treasure Guardians and gathering Treasures. The General also has a unique ability to use a flag to inspire nearby units and buildings to work faster and fight more effectively.
History
Whether as revolutionaries, expansionists, or reunifiers, effective military figures hold a distinct status in American patriotic lore. The United States’ military was originally composed largely of local militias and men on the frontiers regularly enlisted. Able commanders achieved widespread acclaim and often political power later on; American presidents such as George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Ulysses S. Grant all had decorated military backgrounds. These backgrounds also brought a touch of modesty that was rare among leadership figures in other nations: Washington, for example, retired from the Presidency after two terms, stressing that the station should be neither autocratic nor a life appointment.
