    Could you please prove how exactly that happened. Just the traits would be fine.

    He died a long time ago, so it's difficult to remember.

    He had versions of those 3 command traits, _ tactician, _ leader, understanding of tactics (correct me if those aren't right), and he got 2 command from the tactician because he was advanced in that trait. He also had an ancilliary that raised his command by 1 when attacking, so that woud make 5.

    I see. It's just that it's quite rare to see any generals with more than 4 command stars, especially for me who gets characters with the "Hypermethyskos" trait that lowers command
