Is Romulus a good general in Evony?

Romulus is a pure Evony Siege PvP General with a pretty balanced kit for a General in this role. His Special Skill, Father of Rome, adds a solid 55% to Siege Machine attack, 55% to their HP, and 35% to their defense. Of course, as a premium Genera,l he does come with the usual caveat that to get the most out of any General, they need to be Ascended, and for Romulus this will require buying packs.
