Good ideas there. I personally like Loot Summons the best. Could it be some kind of starvling, huge rat or insect swarm perhaps? : )

Yeah, that's one possibility. Necromancers reanimating soulless out of the looted victims, barbarian lords capturing slave soldiers, rabble-rousing LA Margiinon revolutionary generals swaying people to join their revolutionary cause and loooooops wrong era, villains creating more villains as unscrupulous people join them for loot etc. The possibilites are great.

I think it would be interesting with some non-spellcaster units with combat abilities. For example, one commander could provide better precision for archers when leading them, and another might provide posion weapons.

Obviously they wouldn't be cheap/easy to come by.

That could be nice. Maybe some sort of Commander Bonus with <atribute> and <amount> commands? Could be very good.

Hey, how about a sweetwater unit? Very, very strong but can only be built in areas wher max 4 territorys of water connect, and dies instantly if brought anywhere else. : )

I love all the above ideas, but I especially love the "lightening rod" commander/troop. This would be great in that it adds a whole new dimension of strategy to the game. It would be perfect for MA Ulm, like a commander who has been blessed by the god to take upon himself the magical punishment due others.

I also like troop bonuses. We already have standards for morale. I can also see commanders who increase strength, speed, precision, fatigue.

Possibilites are endless, and awesome. It would be cool if abilities were moddable, unless they already are, in which case I'm just an idiot.

What about as sort of "Runic" spell (if you remember from Final Fantasy 6)? A barrier that turns spells cast on it into magic gems : )
