@ 140: As far as I understand your problem is with roleplay. Your hard build generals have less stars than every crappy rebel or unexperienced faction general. You cannot urge the EB team to change the visual effect, there are other things in priority. Solve the problem with roleplay (perhaps you still don't have the experience with evaluations): all the rebels and other factions use a mendacious and delusive system to evaluate their generals who are corrupt and pay money for command stars. One star of your generals equals at least three of theirs.

I cannot remember to have ever had a general with more than 3 command stars in my EB campaigns. The stars are not important. More important are management and influence, I like generals with many of them.
