Do you get magic items from commanders you kill?

...whereas your pretender and perhaps other valuable commanders should have slots -- especially misc and hand slots -- filled with precautionary chaff lest your Titan pick up a Fever Fetish or Knife of the Damned, or your Cyclops choose an Eye of Aiming.

If I remember right you also increase your chances if you actually KILL the enemy commanders rather than them rout. Even if they rout to nowhere (no friendly neighbor province). Another good reason to have fast flankers set to attack rearmost. Usually 4-footed units or flyers that can survive combat.

You don't get any items if the enemies with the items run off the map...

cursed and artifacts are the most likely to be picked up

then lvl 6 construction is more likely to be picked up than lvl 4 construction and lvl 2 construction is likely to be picked up the least... besides lvl 0 construction which is very unlikely.

It would be nice if artifacts found after a battle in a province with a lab were transported directly to the lab.

No it wouldn't, it would ruin sooo many nice boobytraps...

Lycantropy, anyone?

Er, no thanks, although I do occasionally take time out to howl at the moon.
