Is Artemisia I a good general in Evony?

Artemisia I is a great choice as your lead Ranged PvP General and can do a job for you straight out of the box with a Special Skill, Queen of Caria, which immediately buffs Ranged Troop attack and defense by 55% and HP by 35%. On top of this, she has no Skill Book restrictions and a kit that continues to buff these stats further. However, it should be noted that the majority of her buffs are only active in attack, and therefore, you should not use her as a Defense General.
