Historical Description[]
"MacArthur (1880-1964) Few officers of the United States armed forces have achieved such distinction - or notoriety - as General Douglas MacArthur. He participated in all three major wars of the first half of the 20th Century, from WWI to Korea, but is best known for his role in the Pacific Theater of World War II. His defense of the Philippines could not slow the initial Japanese advance in the weeks after Pearl Harbor, but three years later he waded ashore at Leyte, famously proclaiming, "I have returned." After the war, MacArthur oversaw the rebuilding of Japan, including the new Constitution with a commitment to pacifism and a groundbreaking gender-equity clause. During the Korean War, he became Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations forces, where he executed the daring amphibious assault at Incheon to cut the enemy's supply lines. Eventually relieved for his perceived insubordination, MacArthur gave a final speech to the US Congress, where he declared 'old soldiers never die; they just fade away.'"
Attacking Strategies[]
- MacArthur can tank up defensive damage and deal damage to enemy defenses/Troops.
- AVOID Ballista Towers, Cannon Towers, and Anti-Tank Guns with MacArthur. These defensive Buildings are designed to take out any Troop/General that has high hit-points.
- A good way to avoid the Cannon Towers is to rally straight back out of your clean path near Buildings, bringing your Troops back with your Generals to help escort him/her or for MacArthur to kill any Heavy Cavalry, foot Troops, or General stalking your Troops.
- Avoid rallying at 45 degree angles, since your Troops are defenseless until meeting the rally point, and it is very possible Cannon Towers, and Troops can kill MacArthur and your Troops if you pass by the defensive Buildings.
- If you are attacking without Tanks with your Troops, MacArthur can take up some of the damage, and is best used to take out Mortar fire. Beware not to rally your troops with MacArthur to a Mortar that can still hit your troops, since MacArthur will be the only one left alive.
- (Mainly used for Medieval Age) If a Mortar is in position to wipe out Troops, but is easily accessible without Cannon Towers in range, put MacArthur down and rally him/her to the Mortar to wipe it out. Then continue your attack with placement of Troops and Tactics.
