i must be stupid but...why cant my generals gain any command stars?

[rzzza]

no matter how many battles they win, no matter if they're dull or sharp, charismatic or uncharismatic, they NEVER gain any command stars.

Its really annoying when my king and his sons are such pathetic weaklings when compared to most any other rebel general or faction leader. Kinda hurts the role play.

command stars are a rare thing in Eb for the player, but you can get some anyways, actually with the Romani I have two 2-stars generals without doing much.

I asked the same numerous of times

note: it is really the EB team 'solution' of how to make general's more powerfull with trait's that boost army moral but don't add the 'number' of star's - I perssonally like the star's as a visual effect - much more

The command stars have their main use as:
1) Brag about it material. Silly.
2) Win auto-calc more easily. Only needed for the AI.
3) Bonus in near vicinity of the general's unit.

The traits have their main use as:
1) 'Bonus' for the entire army.
2) Serving as a base for new even better/worse traits.

In my KH campaign i had several generals with 5+ command stars, the best guy having 7. It certainly looks fancy

the problem is that if the enemy has a 10 star general he will anhialate your army if you auto resolve the battle even if the army strenght is 3:1 in your favour

EB recommended difficulty level for campagne is VH.
On this difficulty auto calc will always anihilate You so additional command stars dont make much difference ( You dont want to autocalc in VH, unless You use auto_win ).

That's realistic. All the great generals in history won their battles with inferior numbers. Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar. They all won their main battles fighting forces with odds of like 8-1 against.

Tellos, you I must admit that 1) is very important to me - I don't have to explain the ''Life need scale'' - that is basic to life

And Trait's are bonus I know I play VH/VH but I really need to rely on my strategy and tactic's.

I really think that 'bonuse's' for the entire army are just compensateing someone's characteristic's or quality deficit's. While giving the advantage to bonuse's (to entire army) like the most trait's we get in EB - you are making the game much easier for Human player and when you add the RTW.exe AI battle engine to that - you have only winner's (that mean's less competition and battle moves development)

Don't you think

[Pharnakes]

Why do you make all your posts strange sizes and colours?

[Danest]

Fighting against the odds is, I think, the best way to get stars. Take fewer numbers and weak troops, and, somehow, defeat greater numbers of more powerful troops, and the command stars will roll in.

I just like that
