I have only Sophia for now and Kate(but didnt put her in one of 4 slots,as I barely have a chance for naval combat),also got 1600+ medals and Golitsyn in shop.Im just not sure if I should go for him or get some trainers for Sophia or even maybe some other generals?Will he be helpful in getting better princesses such as Lan/Isabella?

Here's my opinion: No. If you are going to get Lan and Victoria, they will take up 2/4 of your slots. Isabella should take up the 3rd slot. You'll need the 4th for trainers. If you get Golitsyn now, you'll most likely just have to get rid of him later. He should be the last general you get as he has no need for trainers having 5 stars default. That's if you want a 2 cav lineup. My final lineup that I'm going for will likely be Sophia, Isabella, Victoria, and Lan. You could do Isabella, Victoria, Lan, and Golitsyn. Depends on your playstyle. Either way, I wouldn't buy him now. Hold off until you can complete your lineup. The way you CAN get Lan and Victoria, is with Dumouriez, Isabella, and Sophia. Dumouriez is also a trainer than can go into Lan. |

Just because you CAN do a thing doesn't mean you should TRY to do a thing. To answer your question, yes it will be very helpful in getting other princesses.
If you are philosophically or financially constrained to 4-slots, then Mountbatten is correct. If you happen to have 4-slots at the moment but don't have an objection to adding slots in the future, then absolutely you should get Golitsyn at the first time you see him.
I have 150/10 (maxed) Lan and Golitsyn and will tell you two things.
They are fairly indistinguishable, even with Lan's assault art, and I would be fine rating either one as 1 vs. 2, so why wouldn't you want a general like that at the earliest possible opportunity? I had Dumouriez, and yes he's a good choice for mid-game play and a capable rusher, but he's not in the same conversation with the other two as far as output.
When people ask and answer the type of question you did, they have to keep in mind that for the most part, the game maintains a balance between campaign play progress and acquiring princesses.
I have finished the game (all princesses with 420/420 campaign stars) and will tell you that trying to do that with 4 generals is silly. I see a lot more academic discussion of how it may be possible to finish the game with 4-slots than people actually claiming to have done so.
As early as the end of Imperial Eagle/Coalition it will be tough-sledding with 3 generals, and that's only halfway to what you'll need to have completed to acquire Lan.

Something tells me he needs a good Cavalry Gen. Dumouriez, Golitsyn, Sulkowski, or Raevsky. He needs at least one to get Isabela, and later Lan.

And Dumouriez is the only trainer out of that group. You'll have to get rid of that general eventually, the Trainer is the cheapest and most worthwhile to regroup. Which is why I reccomended buying him instead of Golitsyn. |

Why get a tier 2 general when you can get a tier 1 that's just as adequate? |

Raevsky is more durable and much faster. Sulkowski is tougher against humans, and much tougher against forts. The argument can be made in favor of them or Dumo. It's in the eye of the beholder, really. |

Dumouriez is much cheaper with great output for his cost, but you can get through campaigns a lot faster with a tier-two general. Dumouriez is possible, though harder. |
