By the time I'm done cycling through all my cities each turn, the last thing I want to do is fight several 15-minute battles.

And if stars aren't that important in EB, then why do all the opposing generals have so many stars? I'll even assassinate an enemy general, just to see the next captain in line automatically promoted to a 3-star general. Meanwhile the hard fought single star general I have will lose that star if he's not fighting every other turn. It's hard for me to think of it as a feature.

I've seen others here post that you can go back to the vanilla system of awarding stars by removing the BecomesBetterGeneral and BattlePoints series of traits, but I wasn't to clear on just what had to be ripped out to do that. Does anyone know if it's easier to get stars with the 1.2 version?

AI generals get more stars to make battles more of a challenge for the player...

not getting command stars is a really lame reason for going back to vanilla, imo
