What to do with bad generals

Post by Kadste »

Okay, I am starting a new game as Union in Nov 61, advanced, +2 for Confederate on Captain, more generals, randomized.

It is now Late Nov 1861 and I just received L.C. Hunt a 1 star ?/?/?/2/? and G. Mott a 1 star 3/?/?/1/?. What do I do with these guys? As well I have a couple more "bad" apples as well. At least I have a couple okay leaders.

If I put them into a division, will they help or hurt?

Is it better to use a bad leader versus not leader at all? Does it make sense to use a bad leader or does the game give a bonus for using a leader (any leader) versus not using a leader?

"In difficult ground, press on;
In encircled ground, devise strategems;
In death ground, fight."

Sun Tzu, the Art of War (circa 400 B.C.)

Also, generals give bonuses to forts and cities, so you can stick the bad ones into garrisons. When I play on "More Generals" that's what I do, since I usually have plenty of generals for my mobile forces.
Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I torment eager potential customers by not sharing screenshots of "Brother Against Brother." Everyone has a talent.
