Giving a Captain to initial units

[Alasteir]

I believe this is something that should be fixed:

After creating a new noble, on the very beginning of the game, I just clicked to see the stats of my chosen unit, when I noticed it hasn't a captain. I believe that, if you are a young noble, unexperienced, your family would send with you a good man to help you guide your unit, no?

mm im 50/50 with you on this.

I see a captain as someone who would serve under a established noble to better his own standing. Yet, I see your point. Perhaps the wealthier and better established families can only afford to send out a captain with their young.

I agree with this.  If you are a total unknown, a captain isn't going to flock to you.  However, you, as lord of an army, should have the right to name someone as captain. (for 1 gold?)

No.

The captain is an added complexity for slightly later in the game, and intentionally in parts random so you don't always get one. I wouldn't want to add a reliable, 100% get-a-captain way, and I wouldn't want characters to start unequally, either.

[Ehndras]

Agreed with Tom - a good Captain can't be bought, he must be found by chance and swayed by your reputation.

[Cren]

Eh, do you really intend to keep those crappy initial men? If you want a captain, recruit over 40 men, that really works.

[Indirik]

Are captains really that critical to you? As far as I'm concerned, they have one purpose only: A name I can use when writing RPs.

That's all I use them for.

They do nothing, as per as bonus to leadership goes, all my nobles already have at least 30% leadership
