Well, it's a complicated system; I probably don't fully understand it!

The best way to get command stars is fighting battles where the odds are less than 3:2 in your favor. Preferably 1:1 or worse. Vigorous generals have a better chance at learning than Langorous ones. The results from a battle may not show up until later, when the general has had time to reflect on the battle.

One basic 'tipping point' in the system is that a Vigorous general who has just won a battle with odds between 0.75 and 1.5 should have a 30% or higher chance of immediately advancing 1 point in GoodTactician or GoodLeader. It takes 4 points to get 1 star, then 8, 16, 32, and 64 for each additional star (the chance rapidly rises higher as the general's Energy and the battle difficulty increases, to a maximum of 100% chance).

After the battle, when the general is resting in a settlement, he has a chance to advance in command stars as well, again depending on the general's ability and the difficulty of the battle, as well as its outcome.

Stupid generals will probably never become great tacticians, and uncharismatic generals will probably never become great leaders.

The AI seems better at getting high-star generals (well, at least some factions). I'm wondering if there are any ancillaries that count toward stars left in the game (maybe a veteran or some kind of battle advisor would have something to offer in terms of strategy). I also wonder if there were specific schools that taught battle strategy rather than philosophy and such in the ancient world.

The AI cheats a bit on getting stars, to try to help them out a little on the battlefield.
