It’s because Alex is the Dabrowski of Artillery. I don’t want to buy a general just for Aura. I want my artillery generals to be fortress stormers, so that’s why I prefer Napoleon and John. If thats what you need, thats what you need. However, you also have to kill the unit inside of the city too. Having two generals that deal massive damage against cities but not against the unit inside of it is also not a good thing Alexander is not dabrowski for artillery. He has very good defense, and solid output when compared to napoleon. Even though his artillery ability is poor, his amazing skill set makes up for it. He is also very good on rockets. Mahmud ii is a version of alexander who can crit very hard (something john cannot do). He also strengthens napoleon’s output, and can be a very good rocket artillery general when needed. The quality difference isn’t massive by any means. Anywhere you can find mountains, you can find jungle mountains. The unit inside is of secondary concern. But I’m going to make a cloud save and test them both before I decide who to buy. |

Maybe I will use Mahmud because he’s easier to use, or maybe I will use John because he’s better at storming. I don’t know, will see.

Especially considering you have napoleon. |

Meanwhile I can finish Overlord in Eastern Europe and farm for Massena now that Blucher and Murat are maxed. |

I hate how weak artillery is in EW6... I have a maxed Sophia and she deals 70/80 damage against units... I thought I was playing with an overrated general , but with cloud safe I tried an almost-bulked Alex I and he made less damage than Sophia... I was shocked ! I believe that focused artillery generals are not that useful... I mean , even Radesky is a good artillery/cavalry/naval/everything general doing a little less damage of artillery focused emperors.. Alexander’s damage is mediocre when he isn’t on mountains. But the extra aura helps. Try using rocket artillery. The other day, I got alexander to hit 160 on them and one shot an enemy. As for the damage, remember that artillery is not meant to kill land units, it is meant to kill forts and naval units. Even my napoleon with alexander’s health never hits above 130. But not being retaliated definitely helps. My Napoleon's damage never falls below 70 and it’s enough to take half the HP of a regular unit away. He can even one-shot if he crits or if the unit is damaged enough. |

John is a beast. But Sophia decided to enter the game. Get him if you want or don't have the flowers. He is very cheap when -50%.
