I fight 95% of all battles - does it get a little boring you bet - but I have discovered some new ways of crippling my enemies. I find that using junior generals to attack rebels is a good way of getting some easy, early stars for them.

Another issue is using auto with, for example, Companions. It's perfectly possible to bring a unit of Makedonia's finest through without scratch whilst having them repeatedly rape the enemy.

Your AI is never going to be that good.

Another option is to have a general attack a sizable enemy army completely on his own. Just make sure it doesn't have loads of missile units or light cavalry. Then withdraw him off the field. Minimum casualties, result: close defeat, and due to the odds being stacked against you, there's a good chance to pick up some nice command traits. It's been so effective for me I consider it a bit of an exploit and try to limit my use of it.

I did that once near Vindelipopidos. Lone general vs. 2500 troops or so (was not intentional). It was a close victory for me. 3 of them dead vs 1 of mine. As a result the whole garrison of the city left.
