I found Nelson to be extremely useful in conquests even without a healing item as 8 generals are allowed to be used. For example if I am playing as the Russians, I might send him to help the Sweds beat the Danes. And he has limited uses in campaigns sometimes. But I see what you are saying, he is someone you can beat the game without. Still he isn’t the worst purchase ever, as there are often ships in campaign missions you can use, and he can help out provided that your 6 general slots aren’t taken up by better generals. Plus he wrecks land units once they get in the water due to his double attack skill. Well, perhaps I have to clarify my point. I agree that Nelson or some other Admirals can be useful. But: 1. They are quite expensive. And though it is possible to farm medals as often as you like it, it is better to upgrade your land generals (or to save for another one) than to invest your medals into the Navy. 2. In all campaigns there are only several missions when you fight in the see. Moreover even in those missions Admirals are not indispensable and can be replaced by land generals. But I can hardly imagine that Admirals can replace land generals when we are fighting on land. 3. The same we can say about challenges. I simply can't remember a mission there when an Admiral could be more useful than a good land general. There is an irony that in some missions when we might need them, we are not allowed to use them if we want to receive 3 stars. 4. They may make our life easier in conquests, no doubt about that. But conquests are not the most difficult part of the game, and again it is more than possible to complete them without any admiral. Good Navy generals like Nelson are useful, but nothing is good or bad but by comparison. And good Admirals loose competition to good generals in EW6, imo... All true man. I agree with every point. Thats why I recommend getting Treville first, and then make the upgrade to Nelson, as Treville is rather cheap (1300 medals is definitely affordable). And conquests are debatably more important than campaign as you can actually farm medals by completing them. But yeah I see your point, they are simply optional. Do not buy Nelson when you can buy someone as good as Murat or Karl. But buy him whenever you feel like you strongely need a navy general. Plus my Nelson cost around 5000 medals to fully upgrade, not much less than Davout. But if you can grind out the medals like I did then there is no issue. |

Oh yeah and almost forgot, another important criteria to consider are healing items for navy generals. If you plan to use one, you best be ready to sacrifice one of your battlefield medpacks in order to heal the navy general, as there are no other ways to heal them unless you play as the british and have that particular focus. So basically you have to sacrifice Napoleon’s 10 hp regen for Nelson’s hp regen. But that shouldn’t be an issue till you have more than 7 good generals. |

I have Napoleon, Blucher, Murat, Kutuzov, Washington, and Bismark. (And the three free generals) is Wellesley worth buying?] Wellesley=weak kid getting beaten up by bullies. No comrade, not macho enough. Just get Bismarck or Massena or any other general. |
