Lapulapu History:
Lapu-Lapu was the king of Cebu in the Visayas. The Philippines considers him the first Filipino hero because he was the first indigenous person to resist Spanish colonization through his victory over explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Monuments to Lapu-Lapu have been built in Manila and Cebu while the Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire Protection use his image.
He is best known for the Battle of Mactan which occurred in the early morning of April 27, 1521. The battle halted Magellan's expedition and Spanish occupation of the archipelago was delayed for about forty years until the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi in 1564.
Commander Lapulapu Review:
In Rise of Kingdoms, Lapulapu is a legendary garrison commander. He has the Leadership, Garrison, and Skill talent trees. Lapulapu is a great commander to defend your city but when it comes to other types of combat like open field, garrison, and rally, he is extremely bad.
You should not invest your commander sculpture in Lapulapu. It doesn't matter if you are free to play or pay to win, it is simply not worth it. He is designed for garrison cities where you have mixed armies and there is a chance that players will swarm you. But let's be honest: when will your city be attacked? If you are careful and position yourself right on the map, your city will never be attacked. Besides, letting your city be attacked is the worst thing you can do if you are a free player.
It is better to save your commander sculptures for future commanders to be deployed than to invest in some current commanders that are superior in power and you will be able to use for clearings and garrisons.
