== 	Notes ==

=== 	Aeris' Special Ability ===

*		Her special ability (initially) decreases the bank fee by 10%. The banking fee is 10%. Her bonus does NOT remove the banking fee (until she is a level 4 general).

*		If you try to stash away 1000 gold, normally, the bank would take 100 gold as the fee, and you deposit 900 gold

*		With her initial ability, if you stash 1000 gold, the bank will take only 91 gold, and you deposit 909 gold.

=== 	Questing Versus Any Other Level Up Method ===

*		You will earn the most experience for your general from questing. All generals gain experience from PvP and fighting monsters... However, the rarer generals earn so little this way that it will appear that they do not earn any at all except through questing.

=== 	4/12/09 - Several Generals leveling bugged ===

*		There have been reports of some generals losing stats/bonuses upon leveling.

===	Best generals for money===

*		To have a better Income, the best general to use is Mercedes

*		Think to recruit Aeris : she's not expensive (only 20,000), not to long to train, but it will remove Bank Fee once you take her lvl 4, so you will quickly be "refunded" using her.

*		Think about buy your soldiers with Garlan, he's the best for decreasing soldier cost (-6% at level 4). Another general that you can get with favor points in treasure chest is Lucius, and you will have a cost reduced by 8% with him.
