There are spells which will let you steal commanders from other nations. So its not impossible, it just isnt something that happens alot. Its one of my favorite tactics since it
A) gives me experienced commanders of types I cant make
B) gives me equipment I dont have to spend gems to get
C) costs the other guy gems he put on the commander or used to make the commanders equipment
D) leaves all that commanders troops standing there unable to move forward or fight.
That Last note can be important since its a way to split that huge army approaching you into little armys spread out so you can hit them one at a time. Also if you attack that huge red square of troops after stealing commanders you often find that much of it will immeadiately rout since they have no leader. Its fun to watch a screenful of troops run away from their old commander. Or better yet from one scout that jumps out of hiding and yells BOO!
