If you don't thing generals are useful, then you're obviously not used to fighting large wars.
I'm frequently resolving several battles after a single turn. Most of the times, these involve several close calls. I'll auto-resolve the most pressing one myself, but the other one where I can't be at?
I completely disagree with this thread. The generals as they are now, have saved my ass over a dozen times.
There actually isn't that much difference between 46% without and 53% with a general. In either case, the outcome is up in the air. You have slightly better odds in the second fight, but not enough to justify the cost, in my opinion. And if cost doesn't matter you're already winning, anyway.
