Well, you got the most you can get, a decent general there for running around and catching up sieges everywhere, well, great frankly, but you don't want him fighting too often, maybe to cross rivers and such. I've had 4 and with a blockade the sieges go very quickly.
Never had more than 4 myself. Probably can get 4 most of the time with that policy that adds 1 to siege stat, but that's a whole policy
Do they live longer if you remove them from service like with Kings and Heirs? I tend to do that now.
I got one 6 as Prussia with AT locked at 100 and the Innovative + Offensive policy.
Whenever I got to 100 AT as Nepal I'd roll for a few generals and got a couple, but I never had the Innovative + Offensive policy. Let me tell you, for as awesome as 6-siege generals are with Prussia, they're just unstoppable with all the low-level forts in Asia.

I have no idea either, but I always do it out of superstition, just like holding the Right button to catch Pokemon :rofl:

The most I've had was 5 siege pips but the guy died after one battle. :'(
However, in a recent game I had a 4 siege general that lasted for a few wars. That was pretty sweet.

I wanna finish my Prussia game just to see if I can get one! I was starting to cap on MIL routinely (-83% on mil tech will do that...) so I may just roll and roll and roll to get one. I'm locked at 100 AT with +2/+2/+1/+1 from ideas and potential policies, so I need to somehow roll a 4/4/5/5 or better.
I was messing around with defines yesterday and set the pip limit to 1000. my generals were coming out 435/654/234/645 and stuff. sieges took one day, battles didn't even play out. that was fun.
That's the way to do it alright. I assume you have the epic humanist policy that everyone loves? +1 shock and +0.5 Army Tradition?
Lmao.
I love having 4 siege and loads of cannons, sometimes you win the siege on the first tick!
You could modifiy the value of your army tradition so its over 100 000 which happens to be 100 AT ingame. If you would put that value as say 1000 000 instead you will only roll generals with 6 pips in each category.
But to get a 6/6/6/6 by letting the RNG decide? Could take quite a while of spawning generals. Especially the siege.
"It is extremely difficult to get high siege skill generals. Even with 100 tradition and +1 leader siege your chance of getting a 4+ pip siege general is 25%, and only ~1% for a 6 pip."
And to get that 1% at the same time as you get 6 in the other categories? Nah i would say that without cheating its not possible without insane luck.
Meanwhile, even with great ideas, policies, and relatively high army tradition, my generals are just retards with low pips.
