Scipio

Scipio — Scipio Africanus in the history books, the victor over Hannibal at Zama in 202 BC and scripted as the Carthaginian's opponent in Great Conqueror: Rome's Punic campaigns. Bronze A-rank Roman cavalry with caps of 6/8 cavalry and 4/7 infantry, plus 3/6 archer and 2/5 navy — a pure cavalry profile, less versatile than Caesar but more aggressive on the charge line. In the GCR meta, Scipio is the natural pick to embody late-Republic Roman cavalry: mounted legions on the flank, with light phalanx support. His cavalry cap of 8 places him as the last tier before the S-ranks, enough to dominate enemy A-ranks but insufficient against a properly equipped Hannibal in campaign. Tactical advantage: his cavalry category complements Caesar (archer) in a Roman composition, avoiding bonus overlap. Players building a Roman coalition for the North African war keep him as second choice behind Caesar, especially on open-terrain scenarios that favor cavalry charges.
