Making non Magic national commanders more worthwhile

[Starbelly Geek]

For MA Man, actually, CBM Knights are one of the three recruitable priests. Their temples are cheap, so you put them everywhere. It's not necessarily unlikely that you'll have a province with a fort and a temple but no lab.
I'm more likely to get the Knight Commanders than the friars or castellans, especially in a fort without a lab. Use the Wardens (CBM) as stealthy commander/preachers and the Knight Commanders as troop leaders/preachers/temple builders.

They aren't great thugs, though, except against the AI. Well, maybe the Warden to raid, especially since MA Man has to work to get into death.

The Knights as thugs are only useful as army support. For me they are there, so I kit them out to deal some extra damage and give them some bodyguards so they don't die.

Lord Wardens are IMO great raiders because of the stealth and them being great fighters for humans. (hp:23!)
