Should I make lannes pink. If you get him, he at worst is one of the best infantry generals in the game. At best, he can be a great cavarly general as when needed and lead to quick conquest victories. Of course his starting movement is bad which is his main weakness (and no siege). But otherwise, he has 4/4 good skills well, finally it’s your ranking and your evaluation. All comprehensive gen analysts - Suvorov, Manstein and Picard - tried to be objective. Nevertheless all reflect preferences and different style of play, otherwise they’d be all the same more or less. It’s up to you. |

Thanks Exactly my opinion too Marshal Forwards ! I want to suggest that you change the order of the IAPs to reflect 'All generals ranked EW4' like in tier2 Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus(Maybe one line less between the generals make this ranking more readable on mobiles) |

 CollingwoodPrice: 4 Emblems or 925 Medals Type of General: Artillery-Navy Hybrid Starting Movement: 2 hexes on any artillery, 4 hexes on frigate, 3 hexes on ironclad and battleship. Collingwood is decent. He is kate minus steersmann on navy, and has 4 artillery stars to make him usable on artillery. But while Ushakov may have only 2 artillery stars, he also has accurate making him a much better purchase. Furthermore, Duckwood is actually better on both units (siege is a great skill for artillery and even on navy) and steersmann keeps him from taking to much damage. Collingwood is simply not recommended. |

 StrachanPrice: 3 Emblems or 650 Medals Type of General: Navy Starting Movement: 4 hexes on frigates, 3 hexes on ironclad and battleships, 2 on any artillery unit Brueys just for 130 medals more... Yeah |

Wittengenstein Price: 4 Emblems or 935 Medals Type of General: Infantry-Artillery Hybrid Starting Movement: 4 hexes on light cavarly, 3 hexes on all other cavarly and light infantry, 2 hexes on all other infantry. Shiny Stars, nice. War expert, cool. But his skillset otherwise is absolutely terrible. His infantry stars maybe nice but even with 5 stars, he'll be less effective than even Zakrevsky who has mass fire. In fact, he'll barely be any better, if at all, than Maria. On cavarly, he has 4 stars... Wittengenstein is a mediocre starting general whose quality will only degrade with respect to time. You are better of purchasing focused generals like Sulkowski who has Wittengenstein's cavarly capabilities with strike, spy, and a trainer skill. If you need an infantry general, even Dobeln is cheaper at 870 medals. Yeah not recommended, unless you like mediocrity. |

 GrouchyPrice: 4 Emblems or 910 Medals Type of General: Artillery Starting Movement: 3 hexes on all types. Grouchy's main appeal is that he starts with 3 hex mobility on any artillery unit right from the get go. But aside from his mobility, grouchy is a really mediocre general. Disregarding the fact that Scharnhorst with an oak wheel can have the same mobility yet much better due to accurate and an extra training star (and also being a trainer helps his price performane), Grouchy actually has many generals in the first tier that are better than him. For example, Marmont with a oak wheel is grouchy + explosives. Marmont costs 400 medals less. Sokolnicki is also an expensive scharnhorst copycat, yet even he is a much better purchase. Finally, what Kutaisov loses in his mobility, he easily makes back due to his very powerful output. Finally, Sophia + oak wheel also exists. Yet, no matter what task Grouchy is given, he fails with flying colors. |

 Jourdan
Price: 4 Emblems or 930 Medals Type of General: Infantry-Artillery Hybrid Starting Movement: 2 hexes on all artillery and infantry, 3 hexes on light infantry. Jourdan is a pretty bad general who might pass for a good general under the untrained eye (beginner). He looks good on infantry and artillery. Don't be fooled. On artillery, he is as good as Gazan who is an artillery trainer for 460 medals. And marmont is jourdan + engineering. So on artillery, he ain't impressive whatsover (and slow as a turtle). On infantry, Jourdan is Hull who I have yet to review but am planning on giving a bad rating. He will get to low health very quickly, and will hit with very weak output. He is Maria (worst princess in the game) minus the 3 star movement and training stars. Yes, Jourdan is not a good general whatsover. |

 Lasalle
Price: 6 Emblems Starting Movement: 5 hexes on light cavarly, 4 hexes on all other cavarly types. Lassalle is a slight improvement on Golitsyn, who is one of the better cavarly generals in the middle tier. Improvement as in two extra movement stars. While regrouping diez twice into golitsyn will be a huge pain, and lasalle's extra movement makes him better on grenadier guards and cavarly, the improvement is not all that significant. Your best choice is purchasing dabrowski and regrouping a movement trainer into him once. In the end, you will have a general that is a huge improvement on both dabrowski and lassalle due to defense art, better training stars, and even 3 trading stars thrown in as a cherry on a delicious sundae. Yeah, buying Lassalle is not a good idea. Without a snair drum, lassalle will suffer greatly. This time Lasalle didn't die at Wargam! I'm on my replay and I changed history - Lasalle survived Wargam. After the mission I checked Wikipedia and your review. How he can be red?I know he is an IAP but, Isn't Lasalle the best male cavalry general? And he doesn't need one trainer! Compared to a maxed Berthier (3500++🎖): - Fence is even not a cavalry skill - mobility is a cav-skill and makes the output much more consistent - Sailor is a really great skill, especially on guards cavalry (125% against ships) he will vaporize battleships with snair and pistol, landing enemies are without hope - geography can help Berthier to move only Light and Heavy Cavalry - with an extra saddle one hex extra Training stars can be useful but: training consumes the limited upgrades you will get anyway (special for a 5⭐ cavalry general) and with a snair you need help on really low health - in this moments the effect of training is too low. Training stars are absolutely great for mission- or conquest- generals! They are your only chance (except medipacks) to influence their health and extreme useful. (no items) My conclusion: Lasalle always has the higher output with 4 relevant skills. Berthier can have 6th hex movement on Heavy Cavalry - not on guards cavalry or armored car - is this something? My question: Which man is a better cavalry general than Lasalle? |

I agree ! For a noob he might be the best cavalry general ...
I think he would the only one to get a seat in my team if I were to buy another slot and emblems ...

My question: Which man is a better cavalry general than Lasalle? Fair points. Imo he is barely better than Golitsyn which makes him a meh choice. Sailor is an average skill at best, as the case of horse grenadier guard in the sea attacking ships is extremely rare. Plus most of the time, lasalle will be on armored cars or heavy cavarly. Mobility is also a d tier skill. It raises the minimum damage, which I don’t think most of us will even notice the difference. Dabrowski is way better than this guy due to defense art and 3 trading + training stars. Imo cavarly needs at least 3. Even though it does consume gold and food, a cavarly general will play an essential role in campaign missions, so having them survive, especially if they have a snair drums is essential. Boosting up to rank 3 ASAP is a good way to make sure they survive long into the game. Another better alternative is murat who has spy surprise and assualt art. I would take murat over lasalle any day as murat is extremely good at destroying forts, which means he will have better survivability as he can just attack a fort when his health is low. And sure, the loss of strike doesn’t help his case, but murat’s overall skill set > lasalle’s. Imo a slightly improved golitsyn is nowhere near worth 6 emblems. And if you wanted them, Dabrowski has far better stars. Lasalle won’t be absolutely terrible, especially if you can get a snail drum early on. |

𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘺, he isn't a bad general in my opinion he has great speed and Calvary stats along with 3 Calvary abilitys. His only down side is salior, but that can be very effective with nations that are next to water like invading the English channel or Scandaniva.
