That GamesCom time of year...

making all exist guide worthless is a bad thing.

Won't happen as there will still be non-skilled generals.

i don't see your opinion about this.
how general skill tree will reflect on game and what can happen?

this is not your or my game. not important what is good for me or you. only important is what is good for game

I prefer to (try) adapt than generally complain about changes.
I'd rather see a game based on diversity than based on "one ultimate way to go", so I'd like to see a general skill tree that makes sense instead of just nonsense.

everyone main general(vet, mma, major or any other generals) will have books

i complain only about some changes. changes which can bad reflect on game (my opinion)
player complain about third army, i support bb with that idea. player complain about 1 billion xp for lvl 75 i support BB etc.
sometime i support bb sometime not.

i not support general skill tree because players don't play adventures without guide, with general skill tree will be problems with guides.
for me that is not problem i will able to play adventures with skill tree. i will be able to use some of benefit from general skill tree, but generally i think that will be bad for game

I respect all those that take the time to crunch the numbers and give us guides, and long may that continue. I find general placing for blocks etc very useful as with a general troop configuration against certain camps However I do run my own tweaks and I am sure others do to, the general skill tree would be similar to this and be just a personal preference to the more general guides. If someone discovers a really good combination I'm pretty sure it would be shared to the community in one form or another but I think there will always be a need for a general `guide' and guide writers prepared to share, there might just be more caveats attached.
Given the new content presently being tested, there is great scope, and some would argue, need for the general skill tree once you realise where in the new levels the new troops and epic raids become available and the xp needed to get there. A general skill tree would not necessarily make it quicker to get the levels but it might take the `grind' away that is already being expressed and keep it fun, it might also breath new life into some of the less popular adventures we currently have, so well worth some consideration from the BB team, IMO.
