I decided seeing as how expensive Lannes turned out to be, I wanted to give out a couple of recommendations for who the “noobs,” whether it be the unexperienced or simply the people who want to breeze through the game with minimal farming. These are generals who have to be regrouped the least and start out quite good. Anyway, without further adieu this is my list.
Recommended Amount: 1-2 is enough, do not purchase the 30 emblem package. Really, you get 2 artillery princesses, one cavarly, two infantry, one econ, one navy, and one on all (Sakurako) who are all worth keeping.
Recommended Category: Artillery, Cavarly.
Very Highly Recommended (for Noobs)
1. Radetsky: he has 4 training stars, 4 trading stars, 4 cavarly stars, and 3 movement stars. This means that you will only have to regroup him 4 times. He is better than Dabrowski due to his last training star.
2. Dombrowski: same general as above just loses his trading stars and one training star. A great choice, but if its all the same, I would go for radtesky.
3. Nelson: but isn’t he Sakurako with leadership and naval ability? Yes you are correct. But leadership is one of the best skills for artillery. He is a better buy than Moreau in my opinion, and is better than him even on artillery.
4. Davout: since he starts out with 3 stars in everything but navy, training him won’t be that tedious. Plus he is a perfect general to get started on farming for the princesses.
5. Lassalle: while I would recommend Radetsky over him as Lassalle only has one star, if you are extremely lazy, he’s your man.
6. Wellesley: since you are only buying 1-2 iaps, you can stick one snare drum on him. With it, he’ll be by far the most overpowered infantry general in the game. You will have to train his movement twice to be good on gatling gun, his infantry once, and his training once.
Highly Recommended:
1. Washington: a strong general, definitely. Put him inside a city and he won’t die. But unlike Wellesley, his output is a bit lacking.
2. Moreau: a great general. But lacks training stars. He is the 3rd best artillery iap general, behind Davout and Nelson.
3. Massena: a good cavarly general with leadership. Surpise, and 5 training stars. He isn’t the best, but he definitely isn’t bad. Ok on infantry however. In my personal opinion, leadership is better on infantry or artillery units. But nevertheless, he isn’t a bad general at all.
4. Poniatowski/Lannes: if they are fully regrouped, they are both amongst the best hybrids and the best generals in their respective categories. But regrouping them gets prettty expensive.
5. Dearborn: an economy general who is basically as strong as Oudinot. Wow. Give him a snare drum and he will be a fast suvorov or a fast fatimah when needed. But do you need him? Nah.
6. Napoleon: bet you didn’t see this one coming eh. He isn’t the worst general but he has good movement, 5 stars in artillery, and three training stars. Overall, he isn’t as terrible as everyone else says. He has collection value.
7. Murat: he is Davout on cavarly expect replace geography with spy. A good general overall, but I wouldn’t really get him.
Honorable Mentions:
1. Soult: not a bad guy really. He’s really nice. But overall, there are far better infantry artillery hybrids (like Lannes or Poniatowski). And infantry is really not needed in this game, maybe like one or two generals.
2. Suvorov: slow but strong. Lots of noobs like him. But personally, I think that Washington would make a better defensive general. Victoria a much better offensive general. Really, it will cost a lot to fix his movement but if you get his movement up to a decent level, you will definitely like him.
3. Kutuzov: he really isn’t all that great. He has formation + siege + defense art + fireproof, so all 4 of his skills are decent. But I have yet to see anyone buy him, even for collection value. But if you feel bad for him and want to give him a chance, he is a far better buy than Soult.
4. Bagration: everyone says this guy sucks while I am sure that everyone wouldn’t mind having him in his arsenal. Defense art plus mass fire is a great combination of skills, but not as good as mass fire + leadership.
5. Archduke Charles: great stars, a decent general as well. But really, Sakurako is him on top of being good on artillery. Don’t buy him. He is strong, but there are better options.
6. Paget: not a bad general as well. But due to his lack of surprise and training stars, it isn’t enough to save him.
7. Treville/Jervis: both are definitely solid navy generals. But nelson is great on artillery, neither of these two have any land ability.

Really, it will cost a lot to fix his movement but if you get his movement up to a decent level, you will definitely like him. Don't disrespect ma boi Suvorov lol. But yeah, he's pretty slow. But the fact that he hits hard( i mean really hard) makes him viable. He's the very definition of " the best defense is a great offense."[/quote] ______________________________________________________________ Edited by Nobunaga Oda. It is to abbreviate the quote and this post. For full reason, it's in the post below. ______________________________________________________________ |

But the fact that he hits hard( i mean really hard) makes him viable. He's the very definition of " the best defense is a great offense." I agree. But debatably, Washington would be a better damage sponge. Just depends on what you want your infantry generals to do. Absorb damage: washington/lannes, Hit hard: Suvorov, Victoria, Dobeln, Dearborn. I like to leave the job of wrecking for cavarly and infantry. ___________________________________________________________________ Edited by Nobunaga Oda because the responses are aimed at Suvorov. Thus, I shortened the original quote of the entire opening post to focus only on Suvorov. Plus, it's easier to scroll when posts do not have the entire opening post, which is long, quoted. ___________________________________________________________________ |

I like to leave the job of wrecking for cavarly and infantry I leave it to Cav and Artillery so I prefer defensive Infantry comms (Ironic as I've got Dobeln) If I can, I would get a good defending infantry comm after I manage to get Sidney and Collingwood |

Edit:
Lassalle is now in the Good Iap generals (demotion)I have both him and golitsyn and use them side by side, I can’t tell them apart sometimes. 1 training star: bah!
Suvorov is now in Good iap generals (promotion). 3/4 of his skills are good and he has 5 training stars. He is pretty good. Arguably a good bargain.
Alexander is moved into honorable mentions. 4 training stars, 5 buisiness stars, spy, and hybrid potential is a great bargain imo. He will have to be regrouped a bit but can potential be a nice general.
Kutuzov is moved into good category. He is a reasonably great general at attacking cities. However, he lacks both mass fire and leadership, which are mandatory skills for infantry generals.
Dearborn is off this list entirely. Oudinot has the potential to be equivalent to him minus architecture. Koscuisko can do the same job he can.
Moreau is demoted to honorable mentions. Again, you want him, just give Scharnhorst an oak wheel and some powder. You’ll see no difference.
Murat is now in honorable mentions. Same reasons as above. Savary is him minus assualt art. Lack of training stars and “strike” make him a meh alternative to Dabrowski or Davout. Davout also lacks strike, but he moves extremely fast.
Brock is now in good. I know I know, he loses his formation skill. But he has a pretty good skill set, 4 training stars, and is overall a strong general after regrouping. He is a good bargain and can deal lots of damage regardless.
Paget is in honorable. He is the cavarly version of brock but with 2 training stars instead of 4. Training stars are very important in keeping a general alive.
Jervis is now in honorable. 4 training stars, steersman, and leadership make him a decent navy general. You might need him later on in sns.
Soult is now in the good category. 3 training stars, mass fire + formation, and accuracy on artillery make a good bargain. Suvorov is better on infantry, Nelson on artillery, and Lannes on both.
Washington is now in very good. A 5 stars buisness general in the beginning who has mass fire + leadership, and as well as 5 training stars will make an invaluable beginning general. The guy is good at everything. Plus he can be an alright hybrid. He competes with Lannes however.
Lannes/Poniatowski. Put them on anything and with a snair drum they are unkillable. However, price is an issue.
Lastly, archduke charles is in honorable mentions. He has great starting stars and overall starts off strong.
