Napoleon

[unmerged(9895)]

so I noticed that Napoleon has leader ratings of 6-6-6-2.
I had always thought that the highest value a leader could have was a 5, guess I'm wrong.
Is there a certain time the game must reach before a leader with a 6 value comes around? or are there leaders with a 6 early on for some country that I have just never noticed?

 

[Wulfram]

Henry V of England is 6/5/6/1, and he's there at the start.

 

[Prince Eugene]

best leader possible (there's not one this good) is 6/6/6/4

 

[unmerged(9994)]

There are plenty of leaders with 6's. Even Savoy gets one early on, Bayard(3/?/6/0, does really well in Italy or northern France). There are few who get good ratings across the board like Napoleon though.

Frederick the Great of Prussia comes to mind I havn't played any games as Prussia yet surprisingly enough seeing as I my lineage hails from ancient Prussian territories but his father father's also a field general in the game to isn't he? I believe he's almost as good as well.>Well at least historically he should be<

I think Nelson should be the best admiral in the game.

 

[Galleblære]

Did you look at the ranking?

 

[unmerged(9563)]

Yea man, Nelson is 6/6/6/0. That makes him the best.
BTW if you're one of those countries that gets one of those generals (or something close) then thats when it pays off to be quality / offensive late in the game. Assault them!

 

[unmerged(6324)]

Actually I think our friend Nappy needs to be all maxed out. 6/6/6/6.

 

[unmerged(9563)]

Man if Nap had a 6 seige rating he could take a max fotress in like a month, and a week with cannons...

 

[unmerged(8576)]

Too bad 4 is the maximum number for siege value.

And BTW, in that Nappy´s Ambition scenario, the fortresses are way to big. It can take like two years to capture one, even as Nappy.

 

[unmerged(9563)]

Thats why you get huge armys and hope the assault goes well.
To bad Napoleon has a knack at getting killed during assaults....

 

[unmerged(8576)]

It seems like the better the leader, the higher the chance of him dying in an assault. I´m too afraid to assault with Nappy.

 

[unmerged(9563)]

I dunno, Fredrick the Great (For me) lasted almost untill his natural death. He died assaulting Hanoi in the Prusso-Vietnamese war.

Napoleons really the only one that I see having problems assaulting often....
But, France has plenty of other good generals to assault if Napoleon dies.

 

[unmerged(8576)]

Yeah, but I want to keep Nappy. It´s Napoleons Ambition, hence I want Napoleon.

I'm surprised that Blücher, Bagration, and Kutusov are not in the list. But I guess Blücher's slight dementia, and Bagration's and Kutusov's "great" performance at Austerlitz brought their stats down...

Damn!

Actually, to be honest, I don't have a problem with Nappy dying, or taking a large fort with like 15,000 troops in only three months or so. Strange, but then again, I usually go right at England...he did end up dying in Germany...but England he seemed more prone to enduring somehow.

Blücher: 5/5/5/0
Kutusov: 3/4/3/0
Bagration: 3/4/4/2
