I don't know these nations but I guess the commander thing is an element in balancing the weaknesses and strength of a nation. Hence, I would not modify this before the game. LA Ulm is not the only nation with this kind of constraints. Look at EA Yomi : its demon leaders have a very low leadership for standard troops, you have to recruit commanders for standard and commanders for demons / undeads. Not even talking about the magical troops. That's part of the flavour of the nation, part of its balance also. I guess the same thing happens to Ulm.

I really think right now is a bad time to be modding the nations in an untested way

I guess you would have to add at least recruitable tartarians for MA Man to make it strong enough to be useful

Herode, Yomi is actually the worst possible example to use as to why Ulm should not get a leader of both men and undead.
Yomi was given a specific demon general that can lead 120 men and 70 undead.

Be that as it may, the people have spoken!

I think giving something to Man is a good idea, as it non diverse and weak magic (out of capitol mapmove 1 and old crones) makes it a very bad nation for long/big games (and the little thugable knight don't look too powerful).

On the other hand LA Ulm look like a good nation for big games, with the vampire based blood strategy, so I'm not sure it needs something.

This one is a hero. But as for regular commanders I was talking, the Dai Oni leads 20 men only, and the Oni General 10.

But yes, this hero is pretty cool ^^ (and boostable)

Yomi's demon general is not a hero. You can buy him at the start of the game for 100 gold!
