General

 is a subclass in Elder Tale. It is an advanced subclass derived from the Commander.

Overview
The General is a high-ranking commander able to lead an army. In Theldesia, it is one of the highest military subclasses someone can get, as only Commanders who proved themselves able to lead a whole army can be appointed Generals by their sovereign. They naturally have an extremely small population and boast a high social status and notoriety.

As an extension of the Knight and the Commander, it has shared skills with them, such as mount riding and allies-supporting. Its commanding skills have a wider range than the Commander’s, even the telepathy is better than what's given to General Landers, which makes it a real strategic subclass for People of the Earth.

There are very few Adventurers with the General subclass because getting it is time-consuming: a player first needs to be a Knight and level up, then choose to become a Commander and then change to General. Some players like the charm and status of calling themselves Shoguns after achieving such a goal but overall everyone will say that it is not worth the effort if you are only looking for skills and bonuses. Indeed, the Knight have more dedicated quests and equipment and while its commanding skills are better than the Commander’s, it’s only a slight improvement so the community often considers it as not that different.
