This is partially negated by CBM itself, where independent commanders are made more costly and national ones cheaper. I can even find an in-game explanation for this...

So an additional change here isn't really necessary. And, on the other hand, not all nations have, say scouts. And said scouts are surely much more useful on the front line than marching all the way from your capital!

This I don't know and don't really care. They are fun, surely. But playing TC, I can live without them. Especially as with 8 players it would be quite difficult to secure the ones you need.
A question to Sombre: do I understand correctly that you will assign teams after all players will be ready? Or is it for players themselves to decide? Or something in between?
