For whatever reason, I absolutely cannot get my generals above about two command stars.

If I autoresolve a battle that's 1:1 or worse odds and win (a ridiculously rare occurrence even on VH:M -- 1:1 apparently means 1[quadiplegic]:1[gaesatae]) nothing happens, though he might lose the "unsure troops" trait or something similar. If I play out a battle and win, even against huge odds, the generals learn nothing whatsoever.

So what am I missing here?

The point that command stars don't mean really much, EB traits have much more impact on your general's skill.

Yes but it's so much nicer to see generals with a huge stack of stars on strat map :laugh4:

A thought : if command points are so worthless, couldn't the same trait that gives morale points to general also give command ones ?

Cause you know, it's so much simpler to distinguish the good generals by looking at the stars...

But the point is that command stars only affect the army within a certain area around your general, and that command traits affect the army as a whole.

Units will start of with low moral if the general iz (is) crap?

No, they will start with their base morale. However, if the general has a lot of Negative Morale things, then yes, they will have crap morale.

According to http://rometw.120host.net/2006/10/27/armies-the-building-and-care-thereof/ command stars give a bonus to attack strength, perhaps only to close units. CA thought to have them only affect morale, but decided against it at some point.

I... did... not know that.
