Yes but I guess that means we will remove RBG's and have them coming on as reinforcements to ensure the correct person is "leading".
I was just going to have all the young bucks in a stack by themselves, which is option 2 in your system econ. If we get attacked and are on the defensive then simply let the AI decide and hand over the battles to the appropriate player.
In this way at least on the defensive some of the guy's will get a shot at battles.
I would prefer not to use the console as you suggested econ.
