Is Lorenzo de’ Medici a good general in Evony?

Lorenzo de’ Medici is a premium Evony General, who sees his Special Skill, Magnifico, add 60% to the defense and attack of Ground Troops when attacking. It adds an additionaly 45% to their attacking HP when he has any Spiritual Beast or Dragon equipped. This is certainly not to be sniffed, though it does mean he cannot be used in defense as his buffs are not active in this role. To make the most of him, of course, you will need to Ascend, and this can be expensive, as he is a General that is only available in packs.
