Is Maurice de Saxe a good general in Evony?

Maurice de Saxe is a great choice as your lead Siege PvP General or Siege Defense General with his buffs active in both attack and defense. His Special Skill, My Reveries, gets the party started with a huge 45% buff to the attack of Siege Machines and a further 35% to their HP and Defense. This is further supported by Specialties, Ascensions, and Covenants all contributing to these buffs further. However, it should be noted that he cannot take a Siege Machine Attack Skillbook, somewhat holding him back in terms of attack buffs versus other options in this category.
