I can have a general running around like crazy doing endless battles just to have him reach old age with an astonishing battle record behind.... and dying with 3 stars.

On the other hand I can see a horde of enemy generals running around, some of which almost always have several stars on it, probably without even deserving it.

It would be nice to have more of my generals with command stars. I always pick 1 of my generals to develop. He usually reaches 3, 4 stars. The rest of the family members are complete eunuchs.
