dumb question but how do you gain more command stars?

[htothehh]

I have no idea... How do you get more command stars? No matter how many victories (clear, heroics, etc) I get, my generals never gain command stars (and it's not because they're all city managers).

[Brewskii]

a good heroic victory should do the trick

[htothehh]

I've had many heroic victories when I have a general, but that never got me anything... I've only gotten Man of the Hour from heroic victories (when I have a captain)

[Nosocked]

No matter how many victories (clear, heroics, etc) I.

yeah he said he had heroics.

dude I have this same thing too.. I have like 4 generals, they all have full chiv... full chiv.. and not 1 star..., but they are administativly minded tho. But they kinda have leprosy... my family tree is all lepers!

no idea bro

It is much harder to gain command stars in SS than in vanilla where it was far too easy. Vanilla was basically a 10-star-palooza . You still get command stars from winning battles (clear and heroic victories) but the chances of getting a command star from victories has been reduced.

yeah its been 200 turns, i have no stars on any of my generals
palying as genoa

Probably this is because of your faction's zeal being very low.

This might be it if you're running BGR. I personally dont, and although I don't have the command star fest that I have in vanilla, I can still max guys out, and its not too difficult to get them up to about 5-ish command. Guys I use a lot eventually max out, or at the very least get 8.

EDIT: If you attack a force then click the retreat flag, you will almost certainly loose a command star (this is to discourage doing it to effectivly spy on the enemies force). Check to see if your Generals actually have gained some command traits but they don't add it. If they don't, this might be the case.

Does your general have to be physically killing a lot of your enemies in order to gain command stars? Or does he just need to command your army correctly to win a battle?

Pretty sure it helps to get your general up close and personal (preferably with the pointy end of his sword) with the enemy.

[Quark]

As long as the army wins with odds of <=1.5 to one, he will get a chance of a command star, killing people gets him other traits.

Hey, what are those units in your signature? They looks pretty nice.

[moosey]

dismounted druzhina??? i think, check youre novgorod unit roster.

I took off BGR myself but kept RR so now i can usually get at least a couple of command stars on some generals when i make an effort on them, i did find that BGR made the game a bit too complicated for me, it was still good but in the end it got frustrating having to keep the king and heir in their city or fortress to be able to build any good units.

I still think it was a very interesting mod especially for the templars but i prefer SS6.1+RR for my longer games

Dismounted Druzhinas use axes not spears... Nothing on the Novgorod roster uses spears other than spearmen (who does not wear metal armor). I tried a custom battle w/ an army of all of Novgorod's units, and none of them looked like that.

They are the Novgorod Home Guard, a heavy spear unit I made for my Revised Novgorod Roster submod and subsequently, Battle for the Baltic submod (check the link in my sig).

Be sure to check the General's city duke seals. If you capture a city, often the next turn your MILITARY minded general will become the duke of the city. Often this stuff is for administratively minded generals, because it increases trade, and more importantly, often LOWERS COMMAND.

Be sure to check on that cause it's sure as hell annoying for me.

there is two cheats if you need it give_trait this GoodCommnder 5
give_trait this NaturalCommandSkill 3 enjoy if you need them

Nice, it's compatible with SS6.1? I'll be trying it out!

It's made for 6.1

[Nosocked]

yeah only RR for me
