You're talking to someone who has all but Victoria and Lan without ever having bought anything more than a Level 1 general. Dumouriez, Carteaux, Kutaisov in combat (Kutaisov got regrouped of course); Diez and Agha for training. I'm having trouble making that 31 move cut, but I can finish it before the fort building stage (and if I choose not to, that's tons and tons of rank and medal grinding).

Yeah I just let the French build forts, then I attack them. Very nice grinding. Same can apply for Spain |

COST: 8 EMBLEMS
Lannes is one of the most controversial generals, so I decided to analyze him thoroughly.
As it's easy to see by observing his skills, Lannes is clearly a hybrid. Assault art and leadership are excellent for ALL units, while geography works for cavalry and artillery and mass fire is good for infantry. Considering this, we can say that he has 3 useful skills for each unit.
Lannes' biggest rival is Poniatowski with whom he has 2 substantial differences:
_ Poniatowski costs 2 less emblems
_ Lannes has mass fire where the Polish Marshal has fireproof.
This means that Lannes is stronger in infantry whereas Poniatowski is navy-oriented. Is Lannes's superiority worth 2 emblems? Answer waits you. |

Lannes' Leadership makes him able to plunge in among a bunch of enemies and be surrounded without dropping morale, which gives you an idea of how he ought to be used. If you put him on artillery, IMO he needs to go on either light or heavy artillery (and preferably double version) to make the most of his output. Why? Because rockets and siege guns can't hit the square adjacent to them, and it's pointless taking them into direct contact with the enemy (which is where Leadership works).

However, to FULLY exploit such scenarios, he NEEDS to max out his arty &/or cav *s. He's right now, an inf-oriented Hybrid gen, with 1 useless skill. Inf is average in many people's opinions, that's why he is arguably disadvantaged compared to other Hybrids. |

800 to max his cavalry stars, nearly 1300 for artillery.

I'm late on reading this VERY helpful thread.
From what i gather,is not to regroup recklessly and NEVER ever EVER regroup a princess(you lose them forever) unless you are completely sure.
Fatimah,comes to mind,not much on fighting but haveing economic master skill makes her an valueable asset early on IMO.

She's not entirely worth it if you are playing with 4 slots, you can easily buy a money increasing item (What are their names again?) and put it on one of your commanders |
