I made this mistake with List in WC3. I will never make that mistake again. Dearborn looks like a piece of trash in general. Stars only, skills all useless....who would want to buy him?

The main factor, I found out is that competition from other generals is huge. Why would you need Moreau, when you have Davout or Sophia or Isabella or even Nelson for that matter. I never actually considered extra stars as a downgrade factor. Sure, I might agree on what you said about Lassale because he is unique, but not on Moreau, mainly because there are better buys and he can't take many hits.

Let's agree to disagree about the rank building skills?😂

Mass fire is good and all, but easily corrected by the snare. Your downside is one attack or defense item when his morale drops.

The big thing for me is movement and the evasion skill Set. Movement is so expensive and difficult to correct, Diez is hard to find and the most expensive cheapest trainer. With bugle you can be sure you can get significant damage. Road to Hell Dearborn is awesome! He skips around the map flanking enemies and seizing facilities, doing steady 40 damage. He's very much a hybrid, With 5 Move and stars across the board, He can be an asset on all types of units.

I just menioned Moreau, because it was to much. The first four sentences you talk about his inantry-what? He is an abolute artillery specialist.
At the end you can say an on top he throws even impressive, but unused 4 infantry.
Why you think about Davaut as competitor ? Davout is missing the most essential skill, has the not usefull (except at start when you don't have a horse) geography, lousy mid game on. Moreau has much higher output on average. AA is fun.
You completly underestimate the importance of movement. There is only one move trainer in t1. I would never spend a dime for an general with 1 or 2 movement.
Check your Rating of LaSalle and Poinanix. How ?

Training stars are maybe usefull beginning with 4 stars. The low upgrades give verry little HP and consume one attack. For ingame generals training stars are fantastic, but when you train HQ generals?

When you assume IAP, we must also assume more slots. With more slots, unfocused generals - you call them hybrids, are not needed when you can have a better specialist. During a conquest you cant change the unit.

The discussion about generals makes only sence for a no-princess game. The girls are always one different league. Generals will only consume space, or you start with the princess to buy late some generals.

1. Moreau is still absolutely bad because he lacks Geography and he can't take many hits. He still has 2 movement stars. He is an artillery specialist and he of corse won't be of much use on infantry because A. no one puts him on infantry and B. Even if they put him on infantry, he has no skills whatsoever.

2. Davout is an absolute beast. Sure, but he still has Explosive. Geography and 3 movement stars are equivalent to Moreau's 2 move and Engineering. And Davout can also be sued on Cavalry. You never cease to tell "AA is fun"

3. Yep and Moreau is 2 stars. I agree with you on Lassale but Poinatowski is absoutely bad as hybrids don't give much output.

4. Of course, I consider that having IAP means more slots, unless one doesn't use princesses.

"The discussion about generals makes only sence for a no-princess game. The girls are always one different league. Generals will only consume space, or you start with the princess to buy late some generals." I will change some reviews based on this point.

"When you assume IAP, we must also assume more slots. With more slots, unfocused generals - you call them hybrids, are not needed when you can have a better specialist. During a conquest you cant change the unit." I don't understand this.

Done! Thanks and Welcome
