    When it comes to those traits i have a general set of priorities, charismatic<sharp<vigorous

    ie vigourous is the most important and i will never accept a FM without i'm unless im really stuck, after that obviously sharp and the charisma which is probably the least important in my opinion.

    I'd imagine some people would dissagree with me but bear in mind i use my FM's for leading armies mostly so you really need that vigorous trait to prevent them from getting too tierd during campaign.

    I still prefer sharp then vigorous, afterall, a general full of stamina, but with low or no command stars is simply not worth it. If he's not vigorous, just let him sit most of his time governing a good province for some extra cash and management bonus.

    I prefer Sharp and Charismatic over Vigorous if it can't be helped, i currently have a FM come of age that is Sharp/Charismatic/Languorous that I'm gonna use as a general purely coz he has the understanding of strategy trait and is the eldest son of L.Cornelius Scipio AKA L.Africanus. It will be more challenging to make him a good general but I'm gonna enjoy it all the way. As for command stars being hard to get in EB 1.2 Hell yeah i agree, my current best is Scipio with 8 standing command stars only need 2 more till 10 mwahaha and that is without any modding just pure hard rigorous and HUGE battles

    Well, The Romaioi seems soo easy to get better command stars because of their office and senatorial traits.... what's positon that your scipio currently hold, and what his past titles?

    He currently holds no office, he has held all except for Pontifex Maximus. Titles? you mean traits? Er lets see seeing i'm too lazy to get a screen shot i'l just dictate his notable traits - Excellent Tactician, Leader of Men, Legendary Hero, Conqueror, Celebrated Triumphator, Sated Warmonger, Understanding of Strategy, Skilled Infantry Commander, Good Attacker and Understanding of Logistics. That's about it i think, he's not the Faction leader nor the heir since dentatus is still alive
