Hi
I ve been thinking that the poor captains are overworking and underpayed (in fame points). Lets face it, many times family members are not enough or too busy fighting in the other end of the (known) world. Many times captains have to deal with revolts, sudden attacks or simply get the crue home through enemy lands after their illustrious campaign general turned himself into souvlaki(yes the famous greek delicase) by falling on enemies spears or got a passing though arrow without particular reason. They do all this hard work and for what? Not even a portrait (as in MTW). They can crush entire armies and by next turn guess what they wont even be in their place! How they re supposed to get some experience?
I think that captains should have also portrait and traits as family members. They should stay in their place until killed or being overshadowed by a newly arrived more experienced captain. In fact they should become full family members after numerous heroic deeds or at least be the first in line for marrying a family daughter.
What do you think? Come on lets give the poor bastards alittle more credit. They deserve it and it will be cooler also ~;)
