IIRC, Foots comment was before Gerome clarified the way command works...

How else do you get morale bonuses except through traits? Through command stars? In which case Tarkus's comments stand as correct. He said (and I'm paraphrasing) that command stars give morale bonuses within a radius, whereas traits give a morale bonus for your entire army. Your comments that defence from command stars are applied across the entire army do not apply to his point.
As it is, if we started again, I think we would change our stance on command stars (in particular not give CS boosts to enemy generals, but instead give them morale boosts through traits). However we've moved on.

i took his comment as meaning that morale bonuses from triats affect the entire army but bonuses from command stars only apply in close proximity to the general. although Geromes post is a little vague in areas, i take it to mean that command stars increase the defense stats of the entire army, while the morale bonus (based on the amount of stars? this is where its vague) affects units within a radius of (30 m + 5 m * command + 2 m * influence) from the general
we may all be saying the same thing in different ways...

Yeah, I think we are...and we've wandered away from Mulceber's original query...and probably scared him off in the process!
This is a bit of a confusing issue, with parallel issues of attack vs. defense and traits vs. stars wandering through this forum. A read through your linked thread, mcantu, including your quotes from JeromeGrasdyke, leads me to stand by my conclusion. I still think command stars are over-rated...
