Do we need to buy Aura? Is it like banner? Had to check the board's title because you suddenly brought in EW4. It's a similar concept, except that it exists as a skill. It's practically the one of the best and most vital skills to have in a gen. Just don't invest in a gen simply because of this one skill because there are other factors and skills to consider. In a way, that helps me to relate with it easily. How exactly it increases the troop's stats? |

In a way, that helps me to relate with it easily. How exactly it increases the troop's stats? The short answer: It boosts the gen's atk as well as that of corresponding units within a certain range (depends on skill lvl). I don't recall whether this discussion featured the use of the damage formula. european-war-4.boards.net/thread/9635/aura-buffs?page=1The longer version of it with pictures provided by stoic for reference. |

I think I saw somewhere that the amount of damage added was linked to a general's battle ability somehow. |

Now, I don't think anybody has done a post like this before for this game. I will be using Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus 's color-coding technique. Here is my ranking of all of the generals you can get! Purple - Some of the best generals.
Turquoise - Great generals.
Green - Good. Above average.
Yellow - Standard generals. Maybe useable when you buy them if you don't have a good general.
Orange - Below average. Maybe useable with tons of upgrades and good items.Red - The worst generals.IAPs:Wellesley: All of the other IAPs have an aura skill. He doesn't. He has an average terrain skill and Alert. Sure, he could be your cavalry-killer, but wait, Karl will do even more damage to cavalry. He is outclassed by many other generals and costs real money. Maybe I'm nagging him too much, but he could do some significant damage with that massive battle ability.Blucher: THE ultimate infantry killer. His only "bad" skill is counterattack. He has Precision, Edge, and Plain Fighting. The best general, if not a close second to Murat.Napoleon: Has 4 good artillery skills. Nice. Counterattack is decent. Expensive, and not really necessary, but great to have.Free Generals:
Jourdan: Starts at major, so you can instantly smack an item on him. 2 good skills and 1 decent-ish skills. Good starter.Clinton: Good skills, bad stats. He's pretty versatile because of his decent battle ability. Sadly, he has horrible durability.Gates: The Cavalry Killer version of Clinton. He's better than Clinton too. Good to leave in a random city to defend.Falsen: Decent admiral. 2 decent skills, one good skill. Not much to say, except that he's fragile.Infantry Generals:
Massena: Cheap at 1350 medals. He has an aura ability. Cheap and strong infantry general. Even has Ambush. One of the 3 infantry auras.Karl: The cavalry killer. Has an aura. One of the 3 infantry auras.
Bismarck: The worse, more expensive Washington.Washington: The third best infantry general. Comparable to Barclay. He doesn't have an aura, but he does have sheer power.Barclay: The other third best infantry general. Has an aura, but not sheer power.Suvorov: Bismarck's Bismarck. Cheaper and considerably worse. Not worth it, but still good.Suchet: 4 average skills. Sad. Would not get him, but decent. Not to mention expensive.Bolivar: He tries to be Massena, but no. Still usable though.Garibaldi: 2 good skills, 3 average skills.Lannes: Good skills, for cheap. Sadly, Lannes VI is hard. He is good for a purple general.Moreau: Decent, but unneeded and expensive. Literally Garibaldi, but more expensive and worse.Grant: If Massena was purple, he would be Barclay. If he didn't have aura, he would be grant. Good skills, a great grenadier. Really, though, just get Massena.Bernadotte: Very expensive for the bad skills he offers.
Robert: Bad skills. All I have to say.Gneisenau: Has Assault, and Inspiration. Pretty cheap, but don't get him.Vorontsov: He may be the worst infantry general. Need I say more?Theodoros: No Assault? Sad. Decent skills.Milos: Assault and Defense Formation. Sailor would be his only bad skill.
Rudolf: Has Assault and Jungle. Like Karl, but much worse. I would not use him, but he's ok.Roon: Little more than a Gates that costs money.Soult: The French cavalry-killer. Decent.Eugene: Defense Formation wants me to defend, Tunnel wants me to attack. At lease he has Assault.Wilhelm III: Good city defender that costs 900 medals.Bethier: The second worst infantry general. No decent infantry skill.Jackson: Lousy skills. Would not advise to get. Could be orange with upgrades.
Picton: The infantry version of John. Ambush and both Mountain and Forest fighting. Mountain and Forest fighting can be stacked too. Cheap.
Ali: Very bad skills. Deserts? Forest fighting is ok but Counterattack?Serurier: Good defensive and offensive general. Good starter.Prevost: A city defender. Cheap too.
Cavalry Generals:
Murat: Second best if not best general. He has the cavalry aura and Precision strike. Plain Fighting too.
Davout: Good city defender, if not the best city defender. Can crit too. Sadly no aura. Also could be used for offense. Could be blue if you find him expensive, don't need a defensive cavalry general, or if you find him as a glorified Bagration.Radetsky: At least he has Precision. Expensive for what he offers.Dabrowski: The last cavalry aura. Capped at duke, but great skills. Great buy.Bagration: He is the only other competitor for best cavalry city defender. Cheap, and has Precision and Station. Would not use for attacking, but a good choice to defend a coastal city. Could be green if you don't need a defensive cavalry general.Phillip: Radetsky, but cheaper and actually better..Paget: Cheaper, worse Blucher. But (almost) everyone is worse than Blucher. Great infantry-killer. Even has Precision! Good starter. I would call him a Mini-Blucher.
Lasalle: 15 medals cheaper than Paget, but much worse than him.Poniatowski: Cheaper and worse than Lasalle. Shame. Want a Polish general? Get Dabrowski.Ney: Like Paget, but this time the cheaper, worse Murat. But (almost) everyone is worse than Murat. He goes for sheer damage instead of infantry-killing. Mini-Murat.Sucre: Cheaper Lasalle.Greene: Much cheaper than Paget, but just slightly worse than him. Great general! Great price!
Wittgenstein: Decent. Would not advise to use.Grouchy: Probably the worst cavalry general. Even then, he isn't THAT bad.Cotton: OK skills. Could be used with upgrades, but would not recommend.
Anna: See Cotton above.
Bennigsen: Cheaper and much worse Greene.
Brown: Cheaper and much worse Bagration.
Dramali: Desert version of Cotton.Raevsky: Mountain version of Bagration.Bazaine: Could be used. Ok skills.Sulkowski: Bad-ish skills. Could be used for daily missions.Durova: Extremely cheap and much, much worse than Murat, but still comparable.Ferdinand: Bad skill and stats.Tormasov: Good-ish skills.Savary: Good skills. Three of them in fact. Could be useable as a starter.Merveldt: Worst cavalry green general and second worst cavalry general.Golitsyn: Bad stats and decent skills.Artillery Generals:
Kutusov: Overrated. Still, decent skills. Decent stats. Huge cost.Moltke: 60% of his skills are garbage. Good stats. Large cost for what little he offers. Please, get Scharnhorst for nearly half the price and double the quality in skills.
Scott: Good skills. Has Salvo! Sadly no terrain bonus. Pretty much worse Scharnhorst.John: Has both Mountain and Forest that can stack. Both Salvo and Storm Fortifications. Great general, just remember to put him on terrain.Mahmud II: Second out of three artillery aura generals. "Eh" terrain (I mean you have Egypt in conquest and the Ottoman Campaign), and great skills.Alexander I: Last artillery aura. Good terrain, good skills. Claps on Rocket Arty, but isn't that great on anything else, or when not on a mountain.Scharnhorst: Great skills, Prussian, AND good stats? Can also reach Prince. The fact that others exist complicates things, however, but he is great regardless.Dearborn: It's hard to succeed with 50% trash skills.Martin: Could be used as a ship-sinker. Good stats.Macmahon: Purple ship-sinker, blue artillery general in all.Napoleon III: Good skills. Stats like Jourdan.Mortier: Decent skills, Jourdan-y stats.
Belsford: Probably the worst artillery general.Howe: Has skills for both cities and ships. Nice! Also has Jourdan-y stats. Very cheap too.Yermolov: Second worst artillery general. Sailor. Really?Benedek: Decent skills, decent stats.Ludwig: Cheap, good, nice skills, and below average stats. Useable as a starter.Admirals:
Nelson: Best admiral. Great skills. Great stats. Expensive, but worth it in the end.Hood: Good skills, cheap, good stats. If you have played WC4, he's Nimitz and Nelson's Donitz.Jones: Decent skills, ok stats. Not cheap and not worth it. Use him for free in campaigns and conquests.Treville: Good skills, ok stats. Worth it. Use him until you get 50% off Hood or Nelson. Good starter admiral.
Jervis: Defensive admiral, along with Hood. Great admiral.
Senyavin: Decent skills, decent stats.Seyyed: Decent skills, decent stats, worse than Senyavin.Tegetthoff: See Seyyed.Smith: Bad skills. Decent skills.Morillo: Great starting admiral with decent stats and good skills. Would use early on.Codrington: Bad-ish skills and decent stats. Would not get.
Villeneuve: See Morillo.Stockton: Bad skills, decent stats, would not use.
Collingwood: Decent stats and decent skills. Useable, but I wouldn't use him.Cochrane: Good skills, decent stats. Could be used, but I wouldn't use him.Duckworth: Worst admiral. Still, not that bad.Gravina: Decent skills, and below-average stats.
Verhuell: Good skills, bad stats.Princesses:
Sophia: Good artillery general. Could use, but you are sacrificing a lot when you get her, namely her palace bonus.Louise: Decent skills and stats.Katerine: Literally just terrain bonuses.Ariel: Decent stats, bad skills. Assault saves her.Isabella: I believe she is decent.Victoria: Good admiral. Nice skills and nice stats.Sakurako: Better than Victoria. Good admiral. Nice skills and nice stats. Very defensive. Unneeded though.Maria: Nice artillery general.Lan: Nice cavalry general and can deal tons of damage. Might be a pain to get though. 3rd best cavalry general.
Fatimah: See Katerine. Should I get Washington or Barclay? I have Karl, Massena and Sophia. |

According to me lannes should be ranked in the purples section. This guy for around 1100 medals(most can reach till there) has four excellent skills and great inf ability. Also ney is the best starter cav general in my opinion

Also ney is the best starter cav general in my opinion Well, I don't value Ney as a starter because you lose 200+ medals because you will never touch him after Murat and Dabrowski, and Lan is just so much better. Ney is good, but Ney is not the best. Lannes is not purple. Barclay and Washington are better than him. Cheap, but not one of the best. |

Can anyone tell me what is an general aura? Like infantry aura and like that They are the skills with the unit shape in the middle and laurels surrounding the unit. It should say Infantry/Cavalry/Artillery Commander or something of that sort. |

Um I had one simple doubt... Which among the turquoise ranked generals in Cavalry are best and second best? Thanks
Don't say purple please. I know they're necessities. I simply require best and second best in turquoise... or 6th and seventh best cav gens.
