Best thing I can think of is get a full power siege gun or rocket launcher and put him on it, then let him go on the water.
(EDIT: title was originally "four star naval tav general" but I remembered it wrong when I originally wrote the post, and have hence corrected the record.)

First of all, my apologies; he is actually three star - his name is Fischer.
Warsaw, 1815, playing as Russia.
Others still in the tavern are Yorck and Dobeln.

Fischer is worthless. His 3 navy stars only work when he commands a navy unit (not land units at sea). He has merely one star in artillery, so not worthy there. His Navy ability would be unimpressive even if we could've used it (which we can't)

Navy generals:
If it is Sidney or Verhuell you can throw them on infantry.
If it is Hood, Duckworth, Calder, Nelson, Jervis, Collingwood or Ushakov, you can throw them on artillery.
If it is Sebastiani you can throw him on heavy cav(light for Prussian).
If it is neither above just leave them in taverns.

His Navy ability would be unimpressive even if we could've used it (which we can't) Okay, that sorts that out. Thanks a lot. I wouldn't mind even a three star tavern admiral on the water, because it's better than no admiral at all, but if he doesn't work on water-borne land units you're right; there's just no point. His only benefit is the health and nobility he'd bring to his unit (which is not insubstantial), but without any fighting bonuses, why bother? |

An Admiral is scarcely one I never have an issue with buying tavern generals. 6 medals is nothing. He will probably earn those medals back and then some I have a nice little grinding situation set up with two bought academy generals (fairly weak, and bought in foolish moments when I was still ignorant), and I can make six medals back without very much effort. |
