Most realms where I had a leadership position formed their own ruling council anyway, I rarely see the game-mechanic council being used.
But, yes, I don't oppose the idea of renaming marshal as generals and including them in the council. I just think that, if that is the case, an overseer position over all generals (War Minister?) should be retained, and not forcibly merged with the ruler.
Wouldn't you just get the same as now then, the "war minister" would assume the role of our current general, etc.
