I've been soloing them on my swordsman all weekend, and died once. It is very possible to solo them, just gotta be quick on your heals and toes!

Soloing generals just takes too long, I get bored and it's not worth the trouble... I'm usually happy to get help killing them so we can get through it faster and move on to kill the next damn snake.

This war ain't gonna be won by fiddling around with the enemy one by one. Into the fray, death by the thousands! :grin:

Once i was killed, and than as a ghoust walked to the middle of their army near Papua. It looked terrible - hundreds of them in not so big space, including many strange creatures. I sow some General Dragons flying there, don't remember the exact name. No army in UO can deal with such a power.

I did solo one General. It took so long with my Pally/Swords I got bored. The recruits are ok if you can keep to the fringes of the crowd and not attract other critters. Mostly I'm just staying out of the mess.

I am not bothering with them. Doesn't make sense to me to have super Ophids start attacking ... where were they before and why do they have to be ridiculously powerful? I am not participating in this. If you can solo them, then you are really good. I killed some brood queen or something...with my White Wyrm, and it took a while, and the loot sucked. So, I went back to killing Earth Ellies with my pali and orc brutes with my tamer.

Man, am I the only person who loves soloing these things.. hehe.. The only generals I have had problems with were the Warriors, everything else I was able to solo with ease. The utmost ease. Soulseeker FtW! Key is to honor it, gain perfection and LS away!! I solo atleast 10-15 a day for my honor gains. Maybe its just my way, but I have always preferred a solo challenge to a group challenge. I know by soloing them I am not advancing any spawn, but appearantly no matter what we all do as our own shard's armys, its not slowing down, so might as well kill what we can while we can. Nothing else out there gives the fame and honor that these generals give with such ease.. Now the zerks on the other hand. Thats a whole diff story....

I love going into a group of recruits, maybe 5-10 of em and just whirlwinding them all to death while people can focus on their Generals. I am kinda the designated recruit killer!! Whenever I cant lure a General away, I just kill the Lts, recruits, matriarchs, queens. Sometimes all at once. People out there generally appreciate when I show up tho.. hehe.. They know that The Bo can clear out their path for em!

The warriors I have no problem, with honor and lightning strike I can solo them. The mages, most of the time I can't honor coz once they see someone they bless themselves. I can still take them on, it just takes longer.

I cant remember if it was a warrior or not hehe, I killed soo many. I just remember there was only 1 that was hitting me consistantly with 50-60s. That one I actually had to heal and confidence through. I deployed my ole swing by attacks I used to do when new to the game. The rest, I am able to stand and fight. I have been kwown to even take on 2 or 3 at a time with whirlwind. People come up and are like "are you ok" I just reply with, "yep, working honor, I got it, you can have any of the loot if they drop a mystic or red bardiche if you want tho, I'm just here working honor. I have no interest in anything these guys give" hehe.. They usually just stand by and wait. I'm not greedy, I dont jump in on someone elses fight if they dont want to. I try to respect others and figure they might be doing what I am doing. Alot of people Ive come across are there working skill, as the generals dont do much damage at all, except that 1 breed.

This is by far WAY easier than the Brit invasion. I can go through a town and wipe out entire masses with just whirlwind alone.

Oh hell yah, honor the Generals. They give amazing amounts of honor. I worked my guy up to 7 dots on 3rd path at swoops, then no longer got gains, went to generals, and boom, on 8th dot heading towards 9th. I hear that last one is by far the toughest and I dont know what I will have to kill then.

OK........ so when you get a General down, and you loot it. If you are lucky you might find a Power, Vanquishing or Mystic weapon.
Are these weapons any good against the other Reds?
I got an awful lot of Power weapons, a few Vanquishing and a couple of Mystic's. Need to know if they are no good be fore I dump them.......Or I could sell them to Maddux LOL.
