I need a cavalry general and I always see people use one of these three in their playthroughs. I'm leaning towards Golitsyn because he was an absolute monster in Eastern Overord but I'm still not sure which of these three is the best.

Golitsyn has strike, surprise and fence wich is useless. Radetzky has the same skills as golitsyn and also defens Art bud He Cost 8 Emblems (Real money is needet to Buy him). |

I would Buy sulkowski. Strike ignors Terrain Effects and Spy is usefull to destroy forts.
Golitsyn hasnt Many Training Stars so he can be beaten easily and Radetzky is expensiv.

Yep. Golitsyn cannot survive for a long time and gets exhausted easily. I think I will go for Sulkowski. Or you can put defense items on Golitsyn to make him absorb more damage, though I don't knowhow that would work out.

just put snare drum on Golitsyn and have him kamikaze into the enemy, hopefully leveling up without having to use training. If not, he'll sure rekt havoc. just don't throw him against buff generals though, he's good for mob clearing

As the surviavility seems to be your key evaluation factor, can You please name some cavalary-generals with satisfying standing John Marston, Thank You. |

Hmm...I haven't played with all cavalry generals, but among with whom I played, I think Dombrowski (Above average), Sulkowski (He's fragile at the start but becomes stronger as he gains chevrons, like in 1809 Poland conquest), Radetzky (Probably the most survivable), Lan of course (If that counts), Lassale (Good at the start, but can't take hits once weakened), Ney...that's all who come to my mind. My point with Golitsyn is that when I used him (In campaign), he wore out too quickly. I don't know why, it might because of a low rank/nobility during those campaigns or bad luck, but my impression is that he can't take many strong blows as compared to others. So maybe putting a defense item might solve this, but I never tested how it would work out. |

I think it is particularly useful on cavalry generals because they take much more counterattacks. |

If not, he'll sure rekt havoc. just don't throw him against buff generals though, he's good for mob clearing Yes ! Dammage dealing is what keeps cavalary-generals alive. I wrote once the snair-drum is my only defense item. For a cavalary general indispensable. Only in these really rare situations, where it is unavoidable to stand 2hex away from cannons I take the curias otherwhise snair or pistol + pistol. Important is, that the first fight (attack or defense) lowers the enemy on less than 50% ! (better less than 35%) so his counterattack can't harm anymore this is valuable dammage reduction. High dammage is the key: If you deal twice 70HP against a line infantry, you recieve 140HP-experience and gain quickly cheverons. Attacking an enemy general, that still will hit with 50++ back is never a good idea, for any general. |

So maybe putting a defense item might solve this, but I never tested how it would work out. Ingame generals and headquarter generals are two completly different evaluations. Especially for cavalary! A headquarter cavalary general has a warhorse and the most important item: the snair drum! A perfect used cavalary general has 5 cheverons and around 10% health at the end of a mission. Max dammage until the last breath, and with this high dammage you gain cheverons and health back. For ingame generals training stars are very valuable not for HQ. The blow a unit takes can be only modified with evasion, morale, defense-items and the defense art skill (randomly), so yes Radetzky and Lan are probably the most survivable. But I personally can't see any other differences. assuming equal ranks. The megaboost for surviability is a nobility grind. |
