No 1 general stands alone in isolation, they are all part of your combat toolkit. You don't see many guides which call for the use of General log, where as there are many guides for the MoD. The only thing you are proving is you do not understand the MoD. Those of us who do have reaped huge rewards from his use in the past and into the future.
If you require a general with certain capabilities you should request for a new general with them, asking that a existing general be respecced to what you want will always earn the ire of those of us who have invested in that general even if that general is not a popular choice.
