Well, Washington succeeded at what he was trying to do. On the other hand, Napoleon did not. But that also doesn't solely define a general. Washington was probably better at Leadership and Politics, while Napoleon was more of a strategist. Napoleon won most of his wars, Washington lost many. Yet Washington succeded. Amazing, no? |

Maybe its just for the money?
Washington is american and will attract the american buyers
Napoleon is french and will attract the french buyers.
There are more american people so they made washington more expensive to maximize their profit.
Maybe I am completely wrong but thats juts my idea.

Washington and Napoleon were roughly the same time though, still some years between the two, but not much. In comparison to the timeline of history, you're right but consider this... George Washington - Died December 14, 1799 (aged 67) Lil Nappy wasn't even 30 at that time. He was practically a baby in Washington's time, or Washington was totally a senior citizen in Napoleon's time, either way. Plus the military technology was considerably different. The muskets had been improved in their range and accuracy leading to some evolution in military tactics, but what really was the huge game-changer in the Napoleonic Age was the vast improvement in producing a light cannon that could be pulled quickly by a team of horses then set up a surprise barrage from an unexpected direction (not with just one cannon aiming at the enemy, of course). Yeah I see what you are saying. Then I also just realized Napoleon made the Louisiana purchase with Jefferson, which was four years after the death of Washington. Napoleon also died 22 years after Washington's death. |

I forgot to complete the thought in the comments about technology... I was thinking maybe the pricing is heavily based on era/technological stage of warfare.
That ties back to the idea of time progression = cost of RL $$ for an IAP.

I wouldn't say Washington lost many of his wars, considering he was in two main ones and won both of them. Battles yes, Washington did lose many, and even lost his first one (Battle of Fort necessity in the French and Indian War, I believe). |

Washington and Napoleon were roughly the same time though, still some years between the two, but not much. But Napoleon Bonaparte is still better than Washington in terms of generaling, no? Washington was, at best a mediocre general. He was a good politician and leader but not a particularly good general. You must forget the Americans won the revolution because of French aid (without it they would have run out of ammunition and the British navy would cause lots of unhindered problems for the Americans) not Washington's millitary skill. Anyway on topic, it's sad that one of the few things we know of this game it's that they had IAP generals. |

Genghis Khan, founder of the biggest empire.(least known in western world)Washington, American hero.(medium) Napoleon, the conqueror.(most) |
