Is Ivan IV a good general in Evony?

As a Legendary Evony General, there are better Generals available. However, in the early game, Ivan IV can prove useful with a Siege Machine march due to his Special Skill, Thunder Monarch, which increases their HP by 35%. As you progress, you will quickly unlock better Generals and you should therefore not focus too many resources on developing Ivan IV.
