Do you go out of your way to capture them? Do they even make that big of a difference?
Their purpose was to prevent opponents from sitting put, but it doesn't seem to have had much effect.
As a rule of thumb I will try to get the central Control Point - regardless of it's bonus - as I march to meet my opponent. This usually forces them to choose which point they take, or risk splitting their forces. If they try to take both I will move on the smaller force, which will be isolated from the rest of their army.
Next, if possible, I'll leave light cavalry or something behind to capture that second Control point and begin to attack my enemy, bonuses in hand.
IMO the most valuable will be the Morale boost, but on a couple of occasions an Armour boost has saved me a lot of lives when facing a superior ranged force.
