Making leadership matter

[WraithLord]

I repeat my suggestion, perhaps clearer. To make it worth while to recruit national commanders give them a retinue upon recruit. It's not a novel idea, I saw it in one of WH mods. It's a nice perk and has the psych. effect to encourage the player to recruit a commander.
Ex. recruit an emerald lord, get 1-5 emerald guards depends on dom strength, only once, only when recruited.
