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.And he is worse than Scharnhorst who is free. |

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. Cries in the best Russian gen of the war. |

Lack of Bugle not a big deal for infantry generals with siege master, only bunkers and trenches provide evasion.

Yes, terrain evasion is not a problem for infantry like for artillery and especially cavalary it is even max 5% compare to brutal 20% SiegeMaster is not really competitive to Burgle. It removes only the defense bonus you see in the info (- all). Ok cities in the desert are rare, a bigger prob again for Artillery and cavalary. The big issue: In all conquests except 1798 and in the campaign starting with HRE we have also the hidden evasion. This makes later in the game generals without Burgle, Strike, Accurate so unexpected, because you don't see it weak. |

Good points, hidden evasion is the problem. I think you have told me this before. 😂

Controversial Opinion time:
Golitsyn is the most overrated general in the game. 1000 medals for a downgrade from Sulkowski that only has one trading star? Weak
Even Sakurako is way way better

Weak Even Sakurako is way way better He has good output, but bad survivability. I never use generals so I really don't know. I feel that Marmont is underated. He has very good output for tier 3 general |

 SoultPrice: 6 Emblems Type of General : Infantry/Artillery Soult looks a promising general. He has 4 stars in infantry along with Formation and Mass Fire, which are really good infantry skills. He has 3 stars in artillery along with accurate, which means he Nelson without leadership. However, he has 1 useless skill - infantry trainer. Though it isn't totally worthless, it is extremely bad for an IAP because who would buy an IAP only to regroup? He also loses health quickly and his 2 star movement does not improve his face. |

Soult would had been good general if he had another infantry focused skill instead of infantry trainer

LassaleType of General : Cavalry
Price : 6 Emblems
I mean why him? Sure he has 5 movement stars and 5 cavalry stars, has strike and surprise. But he has very less survivability. Moreover, he has a completely useless skill - Mobility and an unnecessary skill in the form form of Sailor. Dombrowski or Radetzky, even Murat is a much better buy. |

Archduke.C (Charles)
Type of General : Infantry Price : 8 Emblems Ah! The best man given to Austria during the war. 5 stars infantry? Great! Bugle? Great! 3 star movement? Enough for infantry! 5 star training? Great! But...he has Strike, which is for cavalry, whereas he has only 1 star infantry. Banner is expensive and Nobleman is bad. Not necessary. |

JervisType of General - Navy/Art-Econ
Price - 8 Emblems
Jervis is a bad general! He has 4 stars on Navy, along with Steersman only! No fireproof and Navigation. Sailor is not good. On land, he can be deployed on a city. Leadership means flanking/surrounding him is useless and economic master increases city's output. But he still lacks Mass Fire for that purpose. Bad choice

 NapoleonPrice: 8 Emblems
Type of General: Hybrid
Uh...It feels awkward rating myself and on top of that, rating myself bad when Monsieur Napoleone never consider his position hopeless. Anyway, putting the jokes aside, Napoleon has a lot of raw power. He can consistently deal good damage, especially when hitting cities (Siege Master). Engineering helps him move fast. He can take quite a few hits. However, his other skills are extremely awful. Infantry tactics are useless and Banner is expensive. His output on units other than Artillery is extremly low. Not Recommended. |

 DearbornPrice: 8 Emblems Type of General: Infantry (Land Hybrid, but no skills)/Economic general Scenario one 1 : You have just purchased some emblems and you come across this man. "Wow! Shiny stars! And since John Marston refused me to buy himself Napoleon...so, I will buy him! *5 minutes later* What! such a crap general! I regret my buy! Scenario 2 : You waited me to complete my analysis of Dearborn (Thank You for that  ) and you learn that Dearborn is actually not a good general! His mainstay is infantry, but he has only formation and bugle for that. Architecture is a good skill, but it's not enough as an economic general. War Expert is not desirable. Sure, he has 5 star movement, which is great, but he cannot take may hits. Also, he has 5 stars in trading, which means he is inferior to Arnold, who is available from the start! and costs medals only. He is a Must "NOT" - Buy. |
