Considering Septimius' idea about just making national commanders tougher, I think that while it may be viable for some commanders, commanders of civilized nations shouldn't generally be thugs. For example, in Pythium army Serpent Lord may be thuggable, but Legatus Legionis absolutely should not.
Upon reading the mod: right now I think they are mostly OK, except for Bakemono chieftain. 3 archers would be useless, I think. If he gets archers, maybe some 10? Or some other troops, such as Bakemono warriors, who should be useful in smaller numbers. Or just give him some magical bow?
Considering Minotaur Lord, I think he will remain quite thuggable with 1-2 bodyguards. They will just take some attacks on themselves and would attack the same enemy. He won't be prevented from attacking unless bodyguards take 2+ squares by themselves. On the other hand, I think Kappa chief is quite useful even without bodyguards.
