That's incorrect. A general that is simply sitting in the province will have both his base command ability AND his bonus from his defender ability.

For example: In the main campaign, the Spanish king (Alphonso VI) starts out with a base command of 4 stars. In addition, he has the trait Field Defence Specialist (+3 command), so sitting in Castille he gets a total of 7 stars (since the game automatically assumes he's defending the province).

However, if he leaves Castille to attack another province, he will only receive his base command ability of 4 stars. Make sense?
