47. Arcadia on Legendary is a ***. My co-op partner ditched on me to go to church, which is lame. General is going to take forever.

Good for surprise/counter attacks against bases. Use overdrive and try to level the base before his army shows up to stop you. They also have great range, so a few in the back of your army can help out.
