Loosing command star ?

Hello,

Have you ever loose command star despite of winning battle ? We can see that issue in the campaign beginning
i am playing makedonia

Hotfix traits installed

It might not be as a result of winning the battle, but of a trait which has appeared at the same time (eg Lover of Beauty). Or if you've won a string of battles with the odds heavily in your favour, they can sometimes go down.

In any case, besides vanity value, command stars are largely irrelevant for the human player. Unless you like auto-calc'ing a lot of your battles.

Don't Command stars increase the radius at which the general's Chivalry or Dread works? I read that somewhere.

No general of mine ever looses Command stars. They might lose them sometimes, though.

Maybe it does, but it's not as if you need it as the human player.

Ok thks, i though, that the number of star determinate the capacity of motivate the troops on battlefield... i was certainly wrong

They do; command stars add morale and defensive skill (I believe) to your troops. My point is that as the human player, you don't need it.

Though with z3n's new pathfinding and BAI, you might - but then I'd say stop playing on VH battle difficulty.

The reason i like to get a lot of stars is so that i don't need to actually play ever battle once you have a big empire like 400 turns in game... You usually have to fight like 3 battles per turn, and w/o stars you never win vs AI in autoresolve

I have the answers about these command stars :
for example a general with 2 stars because of -> (I didn't know that -> retinue mercernary commander + other retenue getting a star when command infantry)
So when i take a city with this general, i was surprised "loosing" 2 stars. When leaving city with infantry and attacking, i recover these stars..test so ok.

Thanks all, thanks QuintusSertoris
