Seems that the general consensus on this guy is that he's decent, but...
He's terrible, man.
S lieutenant, lv 1 skills across the board, and a max title of duke for 895? That's pretty bad. Upgrading him to match Neys strength at join level raises his price to about ~1080. Which at that point you should probably just get Ney anyway. Duke is also garbage, some people are even kicking Dabrowski off the team because of it. If duke cripples mini-Murat enough to make people do that, then Greene has definetly no chance and will also kick the bucket sooner or later. Buying generals that you'll sell later on is also not cost efficient since you only get back 80% of what you spent.
So he's neither cost-efficient or strong.
2 stars, atleast he's awesome IRL.

A fully upgraded greene with flintlock and ambulance will be pretty strong. But I agree, ney is a better choice. I think a 4/5 is what i’d give him. With a lot of investment, he can be very strong. But then again, you might as well buy paget or davout then. He is not a bad buy for someone who has absolutely no clue how to play though and many newcomers have used him very far into the game. |

Giving him flintlock and ambulance is at an opportunity cost of giving those to a better gen, and also DUKE!! |

They buy Suchet who rhymes with suck! |

He's great but hey is better. I don’t really get why Greene is seen as a great general when all he brings to the table is tactic master. I mean tactic master makes you die faster from counterattacks unless you two shot things, which he can’t easily do because all his skills are capped at lv4. He’s pretty bad pricewise too, being S lieutenant and having lv.1 skills across the board. Ney is the cost-efficient early game low price cav, not him. And Lan has the best cost-efficiency in the game. |

He seems to be in the early game what Instant Ramen is to collage Students He’s ok early game. But if you buy ambulances and tents early game, upgrades gates’ health to 35%, you can grind the Netherlands 98 or the campaign, and get a better starting general like massena or murat. |

Durova is not a better option? No, not really. If you want a good starting (cheap) cavalry general, get Ney. |

Oh yeah that's a fact, Ney then Massena, Barclay and Alexander or Mahmud, Murat, Massena and Karl if he likes to farm. But in the hypothetical case that You had to choose Durova or Greene, she is not a Better option (Quality / Price) |

I know I'm a bit (okay, very) late to the EW6:1804 party, but I agree with everyone who disregards Greene because of his highest title being that of a Duke. If anything, the reason he was probably given that is because that's the highest non-crown title (such as Prince, King, or Washington with Emperor). However we also see American generals who have access to those titles despite not being royalty or anything (such as Gates and Scott with Prince; Grant, Dearborn, and Jones with King; and especially yours truly with Emperor). Terry Golway in his book 'Washington's General: Nathanael Greene and the Triumph of the American Revolution' states that Greene was to be Washington's "successor" if the latter was killed/captured (although this statement was made by other officers). This statement (if true) personally makes me think that Greene's title should also have been that of King. However, why he's Duke is a mystery to me.
