Not only do you have all these little Armies handed by Captains as Ulstan pointed out, but you have "Family Members" wondering around with the smallest of all the Gual armies. I seen 3 or 4 such "Family Members". The AI made no effort to consolidate under with the Family Member.

In fact, I don't believe a single army in battle was headed by a Gual "Family Member". Anyone else experience this? This *might* be the result of Difficulty level. A higher Difficulty level might result in Family Member lead armies. Confirmation?

I didn't think about the AI using them as governors. But, could it be that the reason you dont' see family members is because they don't survive the first couple of battles against any other AI factions they've come across? I don't think I've come across an army with a commander with more than a star or two. The reason is simple. They die easily.
