A very good review. The only thing I disagree with is that 1. Fatimah does not have to fight well at all. She is an econ general and she will become quite handy once you play as a weak country or need the extra revenue. Just shove tall boots on her, and she will make massive difference in as small of a time span as 5 turns. She has architecture which helps her upgrade cities a lot cheaper. She doesn’t need to know how to fight. 2. You don’t have to specialize Sakurako at all. You can just keep her at 2 stars at any unit, and she will be a very cheap and effective general. You can shove her on artillery, such as in Sardinia 1798, cavarly, or even navy whenever you want. I feel as though it is wise not to invest medals into her as she is a temporary general, and a very good one at that. Nevertheless, good reviews. I agree with all the others. It is very important to review the 3rd tier generals extensively as they are the ones most people spend money on. Yeah. But her versatility and her mobility made her worth keeping. I am improving her infantry and her cavalry stats, since I only have dobeln and dowbrowski as my inf, cav gen (I am more likely to use artillery cus thats my favourite unit) See if you don’t upgrade them, you can use her on any unit and she’ll be great. |

COST: 8 EMBLEMS
How many stars! Really amazing... But let's examine his skills: formation+bugle means great infantry attack, architecture is a good skill for any unit, in fact it reduces the cost to improve cities, farms, and so on. Dearborn is a good infantry general with economics skills, but I wouldn't spend 8 emblems to buy him.I think dearborn is actually one of the best gens in the game with inpressive damage and high mobility. Architecture is also a good skill Which allows you to snowball very fast. |

Architecture is also a good skill Which allows you to snowball very fast. I got him personally. I didn’t think he was that great. He is fast, but for the role that he is in, he needs mass fire and leadership in order to be able to defend cities well and have good offensive abilities. Otherwise he’ll get squashed very quickly and will deal 5 damage with his two powerful perks. When he is not fighting, he is just an economic gen who has the same movement as koscuisko. I wasn’t wowed personally. I think for the price of lannes and washington, there are far better options. But it you feel as though he is a powerful general for you, then by all means use him. |

I think that he is not a good IAP. I'll only get him if he has washington's company.Both of them are fast uet washinhton only can stand on his own.I'll use him for guerilla warfare like in US .He rly only does well against troops without generals and perform hit and runs. |

I think that he is not a good IAP. I can’t really say i was impressed with suvorov all that much either. And he is dearborn with mass fire. So yeah I totally agree, he is a bad iap. Nelson is 8 emblems, Davout is 8 emblems, Lannes is 8 emblems. Anyone dearborn’s price that isn’t those 3 is not worth purchasing imo. |

Davout and Lannes are both worth all the emblems.Davout is the super hybrid while Lannes work for both Inf&Calv.Nelson is great too but I upgrade my Sophia to be an art-navy hybrid.Washington too is quite the price since he got the speed and two important skills which are Leadership and mass fire. |

For those who don’t have time or patience for long grinding and waiting for Diez he might be an option. From that point of view even War Master makes sense. Is he worth 8 emblems? For me only Davout justifies the top price coz you actually buy 2 top level gens in one. Lannes is almost the same like Poniatowski. And Nelson? With two Art princesses you don’t need him PLUS Davout, who was the only must-have for my lineup beside Dombrowski. |

But at the same time though, I feel as though leaving the economics to koscuisko (probably butchered the spelling) is the best decision. He’ll help out the economy the same way that dearborn could. Imo dearborn is like oudinot, who is crippled by the fact that he lacks mass fire, as with any other infantry general without said skill. If you want a general who can be economically good, either get washington as he starts off with 5 training and trading stars, mass fire and leadership, and economic master. He will be far and away tougher than Dearborn. The other option is shoving napoleonic code on lannes. I personally bought a 25$ package with nelson, moreau, murat, dearborn, and suvorov. I can definitely say that the only one out of those 4 who could carry their weight around was nelson, murat also wasn’t terrible but should not be bought either as there are far better choices. |

Sorry, I didn’t mean Nelson was no good pick. Actually he’s one of the very few IAPs with no useless skill at all, offering an ability Soph and Isa don’t have. (unfortunately you can’t play Nelson default on cannons in the game.) Like Dearborn he’s also cheap to train. I started FTP and bought my IAPs rather late to complement Kate, Soph, Isa, Lan Vic. Beside Dombrowski, Davout was just the best option to have a 3.Cav/3.Art with minimal investment. Buying Nelson means I don’t need Davout but still need another Cav. But who? Murat too fort-y, Radetzky too similar to Dom, Lasalle just Lan divided by two. Blücher, Massena, Suchet, Paget, Cotton all have the flaw of randomly compiled skills. So it comes down to Davout for 8 emblems or Nelson plus any Cav for 14-16. |

Lannes is poniatowski without fireproof (not that big of a loss tbh) for mass fire, the best intantry skill in the game. Even though lannes will be super expensive to train, he can potentially be the best infantry and artillery general in the game (3 of the best skills active) while also being an extremely fast cavarly general. His output is massive to say the least on anything. But you can also give poniatowski a snair drum and have him be amazing on everything. The other option imo is berthier. Berthier is easily better than dombrowski, radetsky, paget, murat, lassalle (sucks, even paget is an upgrade). He has the speed of davout and the consistent output of dombrowski. All that needs to be done is training him which is a huge pain. I see what you are saying though. |

He has strike and surprise(the best cav skills in the game)AND geography.So he does not need Warhorse. |

All that needs to be done is training him which is a huge pain. I see what you are saying though. Berthier has been discussed here back and forth. But what do 4600 trainer costs really mean: 1 war horse 1 snare drum 1 Napoleonic code 1 +6 tent 1 horse artillery 1 +6 powder 1 saddle 1 pistol 1 boots 1 propeller ...put the equivalent in only one general but still need or want all of the above. That’s Berthier fully build, only for the benefit of having a Golitsyn and one hex more on heavy cavalry (with a second saddle) Even without him I’ve spent more time grinding than for any other game before. He’s too sophisticated for me. Totally agree bout Lannes/Pon. I got Lannes during ROA when I felt the need of another Infantry hybrid. While geography is a nice-to-have, leadership is what makes him so valuable and compensates his lack of attack skills. In crowded battlefields he’s even better than Victoria. Not a good first buy due to his turtle speed but at this point I already had the items to make him move. |
