another way is to just keep assassinating until a month where there's no assassination fight, this means there's no commanders left in the province, so an ycommander can take it by just walking in (either the assassin themself, or some other person you have for the purpose); this takes a little longer, but it's a little easier to manage than attacking with a guy earlier to count how many commanders there are, and then keeping track of the kills so you know when it's empty. If renaming is on, i suppose you could rename the assassin to keep track of the commanders left in a province.
