You mention that winning traits and ancillaries isn't as easy as the triggers seem to indicate. I think that's because it gets harder to gain each additional Command point. Suppose that your general never loses battles and only fights battles at with BattleOdds < 2.25 so that the
"V0090_Standard_Battle_Any_Victory_VnV_Trigger" always fires. If he starts the game with Command=0, he needs 1 victory to get Command=1 and 2 victories to get Command=2, but 4, 8, and 16 to go to Command=3, 4, and 5.
(These are for RTW 1.2 & 1.3)
The number of battle stars also don't equate directly to Command, since ancillaries influence battle stars on both maps and traits like GoodAttacker and GoodDefender influence them on the battle map. So, getting back to Son of Chinglu, my guess is that the Command >= 4 test refers only to the general's unmodified Command value. In RTW 1.3 this would mean he'd need to have the Great Commander, Legendary Commander, Legendary Warlord, or Military Genius traits.
You might test this by determining if these traits are still valid in BI, if they can apply to the Huns, and find out if there are BI-specific Command=4 traits. Then it's just a matter of checking if the general has the trait before battle.
Better yet, if you're comfortable with a slight mod, change one or more of your characters to have the trait (for example) GoodCommander 4 in desc_strat.txt. Then they will have the trait to start the game and you wouldn't have to check for it. I suppose they could lose it though.... Well, you get the point.
I'd be curious about what you find out.
