I believe you're stereotyping all your art generals to a specific way but it's up to everyone's choice.I will have a hard time changing Putnik's skills since he's only got two slots that requires a change.Vazov or Horne are slightly better given more slots and more possibilities of modifying.What's his value is his usability in History Mode and reaching Prince(Not much improvements since he's green).On the other hand,Hindenburg is undoubted an end game general amongst three Ivan-Bese-Burg trio.Reaching emperor sure costs alot but I'm sure getting him to King if not Prince is already sufficient.His original skillset already implied that he's meant to be a defensive general so following that path,he's not too expensive to fix.

He seems super weak to me. But there aren’t really better options as certainly putnik is worse than hindenburg so its clear which way to go. But he is a very end game general imo as the quality difference between hindenberg and ivanov is a large gap |

Apologies for not editting this list sooner. I was busy with final exams. Luckily, I now have time to fix the many issues.
MacMahon is now Pink, imo he is really good and he is also really useful in history mode. There is no reason at all why you should not buy him.
Joffre is now Green, as he is useful for history mode. Otherwise, he is really strong but has acceptable (not fantastic) output. Still, there are piles of generals better than him (ex. Johnston) in actuality, but Joffre's history mode potential keeps him from falling down further.
Radko Dimitriev is now Blue. He is imo better than Hotzendorf and can have a 5/5 skill set. Whether or not you want him or hindenberg is entirely up to the player.
Putnik is now Green, he still has many redeemable qualities but his meh battle ability and 3 skill cap keeps him from shining further.
Cheers

I still find McClellan to be a better deal than Sheridan. Costs medals, but has far better damage, needs less skill-swapping and starts with a higher title (Practically a Marquess).
Although definitely use Sheridan instead of Sherman for History Mode.

Although definitely use Sheridan instead of Sherman for History Mode. I have beat gettysburg w/o sherman and got 2/3 stars on march to sea. Its beatable without him and sheridan is free and pretty good. I kind of agree but not 100%. Giving sheridan jungle or surprise will make him way better than he starts (swap for station). Plummer still exists who is a huge upgrade to sheridan though. |

Although I would suggest Surprise because Sheridan’s biggest problem is damage rather than mobility.

Regarding History Mode generals, I would say:
-For History mode generals that are needed and rated as yellow or below, just give them items borrowed from your main generals. (Example: Don’t upgrade Grant at all, but do give him the best Infantry items)
-Prioritize getting generals that cost coins or are free. Only buy a general that costs medals if he is the absolute best in that category for the mission and actually needed. (Example: You shouldn’t buy Brusilov for the Russian mission when you have Nikolaevich)
-Never buy medal-priced History Mode generals that are rated as yellow or below. (Example: Leopold)
-In case the only available general of a possibly-needed x category for a mission is medal-priced and yellow or below, try beating the mission without using him. If it turns out it’s not possible, just give him the best items and don’t upgrade him in any way. No promoting, no ennobling, no skill-upgrading, no skill-swapping.

Yeah Vazoz easily stands out as the best early game general purchase. He as a 4/4 skill set, w. no misses and no skills to be changed. He is also useful in history mode like his pal Putnik. So swapping deterrence for tactics master is more than justifiable. Just all around a great general. The Pacorus of this game

Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus, when considering buying a general, should we consider first if he is into History Mode? Cause buying a general that is replaceable by another that is also usable in History Mode might resulting in buying two generals when you could buy just one.
