1. Victoria
2. Dobeln
3. Oudinot

I've only ever used dobeln, so I don't really know who my other 2 choices would be. I would like to have Suvorov, but not paying for it. Also, I plan to get Victoria someday, but have not tried her ATM.

For me:
Non IAP: Victoria>Dobeln>Oudinot.
Everyone:
Wellesley>Victoria>Suvorov.

His combat effectiveness is nowhere near Suvorov and his Economic skill is best suited for staying in the back line inside of a city. Is there some kind of advanced metric that makes him better? |

Leadership+Bugle, great combination for me. |

And even if bugle is a little better, aren't mass fire and assault art superior to it? In other words, isn't Lannes>Wellesley? |

But I'd agree that Lannes+Wellesley=perfect. |

To me, going into a crowd is always the job of the Cavalry, and infantry's role is protecting the artillery and cities. For that role, Victoria, Washington, or go home |

For that role, Victoria, Washington, or go home Cavalry generals, except Berthier, Davout, Lannes and Poniatowski, run no faster than infantry. A cavalry general in crowds can also be gone in seconds. |

At least somebody loves Wellington. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like he is yet another general which Easy-tech made weaker than they should have.

Napoleon's equal rival should be Lord Wellington. That's how it happened in real life. Lord Wellington should have 5 in Infantry and Training and 3 in Move and 4 in economy.
He should have Assault Art, Bugle, Sailor and Economy Master because after all, his name has a "Lord" to it.
