Since we seem to agree you can't place stuff during the game then I'd say that the best option would be as I and others (you I think) mentioned before, use a not connected province and place the army there (no need to stealth them since noone can get there anyway) if the commander can cast a transport army spell (which should be hard since you'll just give that nation a cheap nation specific transport army spell you mod in) Then you can just let the nation be player controlled (by the DUNGEON MASTER ) and dormant (do give them income plz) and when you think the players need some extra action you let the commander/pretender teleport to a certain province (which was very attractive to other players since it had a nice magic site for a decent amount of gems and HIGH pop).. and where.. how fortunately his special nation specific sites (with his overpowered cap only recruitables) and a castle also are situated but which the others coulnd't use (like any capitol).

Gandalf, lets do this . It shouldn't be hard and could be entered in any game (just pick an out of the way province and delete all it's connections in the .map file and add the needed sites on the target (invasion) province (hey problem..... can you add sites in the MAP file if they are not in the vanilla game but only in a .dm? might be since it reads .dm before .map I think) and then add the needed units and commanders there and make the province the starting capitol for that nation.

and then you only need to make a .dm file with that nation (and it's transport spell) which it easy, for a test I could use my dragons and just drop most of their cost so it'll be overpowered

hmm a farsummon with the ability to then summon an army (easily done) might indeed be just as easy. I think the key is they NEED a start province.
