Too over priced,in fact one pricey gens in the game. Don't buy hin. Simple and effective statement, silvercreek ! Exactly the situation, although he ain’t that good either. In ew6, the situation is that the skill crowd tactics got buffed into oblivion. It is easily the best skill in the game. Compared to crowd tactics, it buffs your general and has a range of up to 3 hexes. It also buffs your general with a more significant amount of damage and stacks with your or your allies’ auras. It leads to a militia dealing 100 damage (30 without an aura) if there are enough auras. Washington and Suvorov have massive crit damage and defense. Karl has an aura skill + insane crit damage + good defense. Massena has insane crit damage + aura skill + good damage towards cities. Bismarck has good defense + damage towards cities. Even barclay -and lannes offers more than him. He is the most expensive infantry general, but isn’t in the top 5 and is barely in the top 10. |

I rate Bismarck 4 stars. He is good, but way too expensive for what he offers, and is barely in the top 10. He will be useful if you buy him, but Massena and Karl offer much more. At least you get bragging rights.

I had been considering him a long time ago actually. Massena is far from being the best sieger really. Lannes is better than him at that since plain is stronger than aura. And since Bismarck has Assault+Tunnel+Plain just like Lannes but higher stats, he should have some of the best sieging damage in the game. The problem with that is that Garibaldi exists. HE is the best infantry sieger in the game since Tactic master is also a +20% damage increase on average. (though it is inconsistent) Unfortunately they're both kinda expensive. Bismarck has that huge price tag, and Garibaldi starts out with lv1 skills accross the board. I also believe that cojoncio is using Garibaldi and wrecking the record boards. 4 stars for being outclassed at his speciality, but +1 star for having a really cool hat. |

All three of these (Lannes, Garibaldi and Bismarck) are arguably the best non-aura Infantry generals, though. Must-haves for someone that is doing a non-aura run. |

Bismarck is clearly my favourite infantry general and he is (in my opinion) among the best generals of the game.
I agree that he is VERY expensive. But his skills are balanced and useful: additional damages with "Assault" and "Plain Fighting", he is also very efficient against cities thanks to "Tunnel". Last but not least, he has good defensive skills (Ambush and Alert).
Give him the Red Eagle Medal (Plain Fighting level +1), Ambulance and the Ferguson Rifle. He'll be virtually unbeatable.
Fully upgraded (Marshal rank and all his skills at level 5), you'll be granted no less than 4788 medals if you decide to dismiss him!!
He is worth his price if you decide to buy him. I gave him 5 stars.

I gave him 5 stars. That’s true. I actually wish this game wasn’t “Aura = win” because he has better stats than Massena. In fact, he is better than Massena, individually at least. Stronger starting stats and the fact that he can be King gives him a good defense. Ambush and Alert are decent skills. They aren’t useless like Formation Master (Gives a pitiful boost to critical hits, which are already too unreliable) and Inspiration (Gives a measly boost whenever it triggers and is too inconsistent to be a effective anti-demoralization tool). Ambush increases his chance to dodge (Which occurs more often than it seems, and when it does happen, it’s very helpful) and Alert minimizes the damage done to him by dangerous artillery units like the Krupp Cannon. Also helps him survive at sea against coastal artillery (Which is a huge threat in missions where you have to land on a fortified coast) and powerful naval units like ships of the line (In many missions where my generals have to land, they often land at nearly half health because of the ships). |

Plus Assault + Plain Fighting + Tunnel + his great stats make him quite damaging against pretty much anything.

Bismarck is a good general or not? Based on our understanding of how aura functions in 1814, his competition -- gens with Inf Commander -- is simply better and more useful in teams. Assuming that a player uses the 3 inf aura gens in Crimean War, Bismarck could be your 4th inf gen, but would you use him then? I found the arguments for a hybrid to be persuasive, so I chose Suvorov as my 4th, which makes Bismarck a candidate as my 5th inf gen, but I don't find him useful or usable at this stage. Individually, without considering aura, it seems like Bismarck does perform quite well as a solo gen.
Overall, he is good as an individual inf gen, but considering team-based line ups and aura, he is not as good as others who add more value. |
