Some nations could really use national summons(Marverni and Man for instance) to give the player something to do besides sweating through most of the game. Seeing as this would be a large undertaking, would it be possible to give these deficient nations a cheap national Gift of Reason spell, available early on, so at least they can bulk up with summoned thugs.

Marverni gets the right gems and mages to be a cracking forge nation, yet they really have nothing to forge for - armies of reasoned Trolls and the like would at least give them a competitive leg up and would be damn fun to boot!
