Thoughts?

The random commander(s) for provinces is a great idea.
Allow the map maker to choose how many random commanders (1 thru 9). Perhaps a future version can include random equipment for the random commanders... yet some items such as the assassin heart and bane venom charm should not be included in the random list. Low_Random means 0 thru 2 random items, Medium_Random means 1 thru 4 random items or less, High_Random means 2 thru 6 random items and Max_Random means 3 thru 8 random items.


In regards to the bodyguards 10-12 seems high unless it's a powerful mage. A normal commander should probably have 1 or 2 bodyguards, a mounted commander 2 or 3 bodyguards, and mages 3 bodyguards for each mage level.
And each commander should have a 2% chance of having magic paths where 75% are level_1, 10% are level_2, 7% are level_3, 4% are level_4, 2% are level_5 and 2% are level_6 or higher.

Hope these ideas are helpful.

Hmm, even better than random would be random from a list of good ideas - ie., like some of the choices you and gandalf have originated.
