My best commander (equal with one other) and my best overall. He is also my favourite due to some of his "bad" traits which make me feel sorry for him. I can't seem to get screen shots to work at current, but here he is, my favourite:

Yes people, you're men may be better, but they are all old and will be dead within under twenty years. He has at least another thirty before he goes. Within (at least) five/six years he will be even better as he will have had an education at the huge academy of Alexandria while he manages the place while I install governments.

how many of these command stars come from attacking small rebels floating around your settlements and what difficulties are the games you're in?

skuzzy, always play EB on VH/M settings.

I find initial stars usually come from defeating rebels/brigands with small armies, but the others just come over time from fighting --lots-- of battles, with large numbers of troops.

Forging generals is one of my biggest hobbies within the game and here is my addition.

It's the year 229BC or something and I imagine he will die during his next planned campaign. He has done much though. He's responsible for pretty much all of the expansion beyond modern day greece and also he's responsible for many, many destroyed roman full stacks. Too bad his offspring is incompetent, but fortunately there's a 2nd branch of royal makedonians who now will inherit the throne. More about that below.

This is my latest addition and he looks very promising indeed. When attacking he's full-star. He's only 23 years old but already a more solid commander than the current faction leader. I can only hope he's offspring follows their fathers footstep.
