Recommendation
Based on experience, we recommend Queen Jindeok, Gaius Marius, Constance I, and Shimazu Yoshihiro for the gathering.
In terms of resource-gathering speed, Queen Jindeok is obviously better than Princess Lucy, so once Queen Jindeok is recruited, she can be used first. At the same time, you can use Resources Gathering Speedup to increase efficiency.
Troop Load does not necessarily depend on generals. All Troops Load could be improved by increasing the number of Troops collected and the Loyalty Horn in the Monarch Gear. The higher the level of Loyalty Horn, the higher the gain of All Troops Load. However, if you want to build a farm castle for yourself, you can choose Generals who will increase the Troop Load to increase the number of resources gathered.
