If Brusilov is available, he is also an option. More expensive and needs much more ennobling, but that means that he can get a tremendous amount of Battle Ability, and you only need at most 10 skill books to make him super good.

Now that he needs 3 skills to be replaced instead of 4, he is a viable option since 15 skill books isn’t a lot. Desert Fighting, Station, Defense Formation? Personally I am fine with defense formation and station. Desert fighting is too rare to be taken advantage of. He also needs strike badly. The other skill he needs is surprise to take advantage of his mobility. I would probably replace station and desert only tbh, the additional 15 textbooks could be wasted elsewhere (sidney). |

I think it really depends on how quickly you want a general for History Mode. If you don’t want to farm a lot, then Nikolaevich. If you are willing to take your time, then Brusilov (If he is available).

Mountain Fighting instead of Defense Formation. |

Mountain Fighting instead of Defense Formation. I kind of like mountains on cavarly. They are a huge pain when an armored car can’t cross over the alps. Plus nikolaevich will not be the top cavarly general. That will be jackson or plummer. Wasting 30 textbooks on a support seems extreme. |

It’s because I don’t know how hard the Russian missions for History Mode are. Though I will take a look before making any purchases for that mode. |

Mountain and Jungle Fighting. Not only do the movement bonuses stack, so do the attack bonuses on combined tiles. In this game, john from ew6 would be very powerful

If you are willing to take your time, then Brusilov (If he is available). Brusilov is weaker, a skill is so much more value and yes Moltke is also weaker his TA gives him +13% but most skills do around 20% |

But with 15 you can make him better then Moltke and 15 is not that much |

I changed my mind, seems letting Nikolaevich have Mountain Fighting and Jungle Fighting is a good idea. Therefore you only need to replace 2 of his skills, Desert Fighting (Deserts are too rare to be relevant) and Station. Then give him Precision Strike and Surprise Attack. He will be a very versatile general: Can go through pretty much any terrain, has good offensive power and has a defensive bonus. |

I just tested it and however stacking jungle fighting and mountain fighting is insane, it’s really +50% damage |

Though the jungle and mountain bonuses are far better here since they also give an increase in mobility. |

5th cavalry general? Can't argue in terms of Nikolaevich's limitations then  You might want to swap desert fighting out though, doesnt make much sense since deserts are generally scarce. I think im going for Mackensen to complete the German Army roster, where I get to be in charge as the Chief of the German General Staff along with my (incompetent) nephew  Is this the last day you use Moltke as your username,Bing?It's weird but are you going to change to someone else lmao Maybe after the update ill revert back to crosby |

^^regarding the above movement discussions, heavy cavalry like armored cars and tanks still cannot cross large mountains in the alps right? I couldnt confirm that theory
