Added Lannes, Washington, Bismark and Garibaldi. Check page 1.
Short conclusion (imo):
As we earlier found out the strongest infantry generals are aura generals. Screenshots also confirm it.
So the best infantry team is: Karl, Massena and Barclay. They also have good situational skills, so this setup is the best one for infantry.
If You don't want to use 3 aura generals or would like to have more than 3 go for Suvorov. He is the best non-aura infantry general. He has highest battle ability in the game and universal skills (2 terrains + inspiration) what makes him not only one of the strongest infantry gen but also ideal choice for challenges (naval & infantry ban).
However if You already purchased Bismark or Washington it is OK. Their battle ability is also very high at max, though 10+ points lower than Suvorov.
(*) Short remark about Karl's extremely high stats in comparison to others.
He is the only gen among all infantry gens compared in the thread so far who has no Assault skill (and You can't see its impact in the unit's stats screen). So when compared to other generals keep in mind those 20 points he lacks.

Added Lan and that's probably it for cavalry.
Short conclusion:
It is much easier with cavalry generals than with infantry. The choices are more or less obvious. If earlier there were threads like Davout or Murat, Davout or Dambrovsky now we can see that the best choices (no IAP) are definetely Murat, Dambrovsky, Lan, Ney/Davout.
With 1815 update the value of aura for cavalry only increased. Even if You used mainly infantry earlier, now with missions like Siege, Battle of Balaclava and Fall of Sevastopol we are forced to use aura.
Lan is definetely the best choice for 3rd cavalry gen as she is cheap (start with skills at level 3 and Prince title if tulips used) and has high battle ability (90 points at Emperor). Actually I think she is the only Princess worth hiring. Others are just trashy.
P.S.: Hope will have time to complete arty next week.

I might cop Sophia as well, just because medals are an issue (I don’t really have much time to farm anymore due to the semester starting) and she has a terrain bonus and storm fortifications on mahmud |

Storm fortification is good. But aura is better if we take into account challenges. |

I don’t really emphasize the damage towards forts as I do towards common units, so then maybe mahmud might be the best option. He would buff alexander and napoleon so maybe he is a better addition to the team. |

See john is worse than sophia. He loses alert, emperor rank, and artillery master to sophia so he is a much worse option to buy. Really, mahmud and alexander are both “must haves” |

how is John compared to other non-aura art gens? the picture shows incredibly high atk but that's on a forested hill (as i understand the opening post) which isn't that common.

Every general with terrain skill is placed on a specific tile. This is the requiment of this comparison. It is assumed that skillful player is able to benefit from terrain (be placed on a specific terrain tile) most of the time or at least when it is really important. And if You think it is difficult to use John (which is true, as he is placed on a specific forest+mountain tile) just keep it in mind  |

John and kutuzov have around the same battle ability at max. Best place to find out is in the 1812 map conquest where you find both. Scharnhorst also has notably a strong ability combination |

Probably the best non-aura artillery gen. And artillery aura is not that important if speaking about allies buff. Moreover she is cheap, what makes her very popular among players. I just don't recommend her as I wasn't taking into account price of the general but only stats and skills. |

I just don't recommend her as I wasn't taking into account price of the general but only stats and skills. I think it's also important to note that she has a pretty big tactical disadvantage. Using her as a general means that you lose her palace ability. One of two which are actually amazing and will save your bacon during Crimean War. But maybe this wasn't the point of the thread, if we're just comparing how strong she is compared to other people then sure she's amazing. |
