Nice rankings my guy. Great on you to start reviewing these generals in your own style. Donβt forget to tear very hard into Moreau and Dearborn. They look impressive but are very very bad secretely

RadetzkyType of General : Cavalry Price : 8 Emblems He is Dombrowski 2.0, with quite a few changes. He has an extra training training and business stars, 2 on fort and 1 on navy compared to none of Dombrowski. However, War Master isn't really desirable and Banner is far better if you are willing to grind medals. Anyways, this guy isn't bad for an IAP. Just as Dombrowski, he can move fast, strong and conquer cities on his own. A great buy. (He looks more Polish than Austrian for me) Donβt forget that War Master makes Radetsky have a lot of health early on. And his extra training star on Dombrowski really makes the difference. Is he worth 2 extra dollars? Nah. But he is very strong in his own right |

War master is a good skill. Building rank is important as it helps survivability and combat (higher damage at full morale, not having to use a snare. It's replaceable by an item, but only in theory. I don't think anyone is using the rank/ nobility items in game play, but only for training specific scenarios. Having an automatic rank bonus skill is valuable because you can use 2 combat items. Nobility item is easier to toggle use because you can toggle on to it during your movement. It helps, but it isn't worth it because once filled, it doesn't work. |

SuvorovType of General : Infantry Price : 6 Emblems The famed and reputed Suvorov is a very good general. He has all most of his skills as infantry skills. 5 stars in infantry right off the blocks. 5 stars in training, means he can take quite a few blows. He is of immense use in the campaigns, ripping everyone into shreds with his consistently moderate-high damage. However, his movement is really bad. Just 1 star. It takes 1620 medals to increase it to 4 or 1080 to even a moderate three. His lack of movement is his biggest drawback and he won't be of much use in speedrunning. I disagree, he is constantly dying in campaigns and conquests. He dies to polish artillery in 1798, and dies in battle of Trebbia Have you put him in stacked units? |

I absolutely agree, that uniqe skills that are unreplacable with items have a much higher value. Even we have to separe battle-skills and others (movement, economy). War Master gives imo additional rank experience, so On War or Art of War are the (more effective) replacements. But they will occupy one slot during your attack (note: in defense you don't gain rank), so better than a +1 dmg skill is war master for sure - untill he reaches 150HP... If you don't have two attack items, playing a conquest with on war, boosts the health enoumus. |

Practical all generals are skilled for their role during the campaign or conquest. He looks scary, but he is lost. in the alpesMost times underreated: the unit-type a general is deployed - this causes the multiplier! for all skills, stars and items. Lan on light or heavy cavallary is weaker than Sophia on guards cavalary or AC! |

If you don't have two attack items, playing a conquest with on war, boosts the health enoumus. And because combat is so important, it's tough to switch out the short term benefit of an attack item for on war/ Art of war. The only time I use those items are on conquest rank grinds. In a campaign scenario I never use them because I want every advantage I can. Other replaceable items: Sailor-carrier: situational, easy to replace Fireproof-firetruck: situational, easy to replace Geography-warhorse: not important can move heavy/light cav 6 hexes fully maxed Nobility: items much better easy to grind War master: not easy to grind, important and useful, situational but more attractive items exist (+6 attack, snare, +4 defense) |

The problem with banner is that it's too clunky to use. If you don't switch items, there are many more useful items to choose from.
If you do switch items to maximize, you need to add 3 more steps:
Buff with banner attack and defense
Cavalry free attacks
Move
Buff with banner attack and defense
Attack
Buff with banner supply defense
Build units/ upgrade
It would be better if banner gave general s a third banner slot, Or if the banner abilities were innate. Rather than the skill being "banner" it would be "eagle banner"

MoreauType of General : Artillery/Infantry(?)
Price : 6 Emblems
Don't think that this guy is really good. Firstly, he has 4 infantry stars. True, but no infantry skills. So he won't be of much use on infantry. 4 stars artillery looks really impressive and he has all artillery skills. Sure! but among them, Ballistics is useless. Explosive does increases damage albeit, very less. He has Accurate which is a good skill and Engineering too, but he still lacks Geography and he can't move quickly. He suffers a lot if he takes some damage and has very less survivability. He also has a lot of competition from others and he just can't simply enter in your team. |

BrockType of General : Infantry
Price : 6 Emblems
Brock is a bad an unreliable general. His stars looks like he is the brother of Sakurako with specialization in infantry. However, he doesn't have good skills. Banner is good, but expensive. Bugle is a very good infantry skill, but you really don't need Sailor as your land generals rarely fight on land. Assault Art is really unreliable. He doesn't really have place in your lineup and someone like Oudinot or Dobeln is much better. |

KutuzovType of General : Infantry/Fort
Price : 8 Emblems
Competition with other generals turned out to be a much bigger factor than I thought. Kutuzov is actually pretty decent general even though he lacks survivability. His 3 stars movement are enough for an infantry general. He has 5 stars fort and Fireproof to supplement that, but he used rarely on forts. Siege Master is a good skill for destroying the cities and formation again, is a decent skill. But, there are much better alternatives than this guy. Those bunch of generals on the top are the ones most useful, rendering him ineffective. |
