yes they will add to other bonuses and since you can have simultaneously increased stats to offensive and defensive from general, what it means top dogs will have more advantage over you :)

lets not look at army size, but on top of 50% power boost they might get another 40% extra over average folks :)

it will be certainly great to get bit edge over some low level neighbors, but you will be at greater disadvantage vs stronger players more than before :)

I'M HAVING FUN WITH IT i ALREADY HAVE A FEW GOOD BONUSES AND i JUST STARTED. i THINK ANYTHING THAT HELPS LIGHT INFANTRY DEFENSE IS A PLUS BECAUSE i USE THEM AS THE BULK OF MY FRONT LINE. True you have to buy keys to open locks for rare and legendary items (I have one already) I hope the bonuses will be pretty good. Honestly, I have more fun with this and the Capital than I do the Pans because I really don't care about training my units just to get a few combat points higher. I did that before and they still got wiped out. I'm all for increasing % but it shouldn't be easy or else everyone will have the same percentages. Problem is I'm not I'm able to attack or defend extremely high persian positions and the super high levels are probably where the legendary items are.

Can one have two Generals?

No, but you can always switch between them

Does that mean that I can have one equipped for defense and the other for offense and change them at will??

I am a bit of a grinch on these "new" features... I hate both the Capitals and the Generals which look just like re-hashed elixirs to me. 

Plarium is like the car company that hasn't put out a new model for a decade but keeps adding extras like chrome trim, pin-striping, window tinting and new colors and tries to pretend they have something new and exciting. They want to charge huge extras for what is cosmetic "fluff" at the core.  I think the Plarium designers lack vision and imagination.  This game is stuck in a rut.  The "new" features do not add to the game whatsoever... Both of them are just more tedious stuff to manage and more stuff to buy.

There is no new strategy, no improved graphics or game play.

I feel that the people at Plarium making decisions cannot conceive of an improvement that does not directly add sales revenue to Plarium... but in the business world most product improvements have to be made to keep your product from becoming stale and dying. 

I smell a dying game behind these over-hyped but super-lame features.

Sadly, most all of these web browser based games end up getting greedy. One of the main reasons I started playing this game was because it wasn't such a pay to win type game, but as time goes on it becomes that way...They will milk the cash cows until the end and then when the game doesn't bring in there projected income they will shut the game down. I understand there a business and need to make money , but usually there own greed kills the game as people get tired of trying to keep up with Joe schmo. There really isnt much strategy in this game anymore except how fast you can swipe your visa cards.

there is no need to get angry on people who can swipe CC faster than you! ^^

hope people don't get arm-wrestler hands like grannies pulling lever on these machines in las vegas

Who said anything about being angry?   lol.  I simply stated facts. also about the card swiping part...I could swipe all day if I chose to do so , but I see no reason to do so.

I actually don't care about how much Plarium charges for this... it's the fact that they can't produce a decent, interesting feature. You've got to be kidding me about "paying for the keys" to unlock this crap!  The whole feature is so lame that even if it was free I wouldn't use it...NOT INTERESTING is the key word here... Same old recycled, rehashed, boring, tedious, time consuming stuff!

The static pictures of silly "generals" (that don't even "wear" the items you equip them with) to add to the same predictable micro % increases as elixirs, Capital disciplines, agreement levels etc.  You look downright silly when you charge forward with your new unlocked 6.3% offensive phalanx increase against a player who just bought the 50% defensive bonus gimmick from your friendly Plarium store.

With the new McDonald's "Gold Card" that you receive after 10,000 visits to the Golden Arches you will receive one extra french frie with each order... Yikes!

also does cost to change generals increase with every change? I hope it wont be 5k drachma like golden caducei, u know lvl 9+ elixirs which nobody every swap, because of cost, it would be nice if we can swap generals based on what we do, not stuck with one, because we cant afford to swap :)
