Just because your generals don't have tons of command stars doesn't mean they aren't good generals. EB gives out tons of morale traits have a large affect on the battle. Command starts give units stats and morale boost within a certain radius of the general (weird no?), so we mostly use morale increasing traits which affect the whole army and don't give out weird stats bonuses. Finally, characters traits depend a lot more on the sort of character they are than what you do with them, it's not a simple "if I have my character perform action A they get trait B" its a lot more of interaction of events with inclinations and potentials.
