Another fun thing to do with normal human commanders is

1: give them a bow of war and boots of quickness. 26 arrow a turn!

2: give them a rod of the pheonix or any spell casting device like skull talismen and give them boots of the messenger, gridle of might or anything that reduces fatigue.

3: If you have a death bless or earth bless or any bless go ahead and give non sacred mages shrouds of the battle saint. It gives them armour with no encumberance, plus extra killing power (for death) or extra reinvig (for earth) or extra Magic resist (astral bless). The death bless makes spells be much more likely to cause afflictions. So if you casting Earthquake (8? ap damage to the whole battle feild) and you want to cripple alot of people this is the way to go
