But i guess that the solution proposed by SMZ is the best possible.
Well, you cannot have everything.

Possible trigger for the Band + commanders to appear, probably an unrealistic one :
- The Dragon control Caihrien + Tear
- Mat or general with Memories + Ta'veren
- Mat or a general have in stack 1 Caihrien Calvalry + 1 Tear Calvary + 1 infantry
- Spent 1 turn outside the city of Caihrien.

Benefits also unrealistc:
- You can build the Red Hand Band units
- Talmanes appear with 1 Red Hand cavalries
- Nalesean appear with 1 Red Hand cavalries
- Daerid appear with 3 Red Hand Infantries + 1 Red Hand Bowmen

Lose unrealistic again:
- Units stacked with Mat or the general lost

I really don't know if it can be done but i thinks that it is a good way to be as close as possible to the books.

A downgraded version

To build Red Hand Band units
trigger :

- The Dragon control Caihrien + Tear
- Stables + Barracks in both cities
I think we will be able to train the Band immidetly on game start, since you will be able to train alot of other things from start(aiel for example). To have triggers where new generals appear isn't a good way in my eyes, it could turn the game... and there will be no Red Hand Archers. If have triggers for all different types of units PotD can ahve, there will be new units coming to him every turn, which wouldn't be ver balanced... (The game starts when the stone falls. Next turn, they get aiel. Turn after that more aiel and the band, turn after that the Dragon Legion, after that asha'man, after that some aes sedai and the sea folk, then Illian units and so on. You see my point? You would get new units every turn.)

Talmanes as a ancillary :
Lord Talmanes of House Delovinde
A Cairhienin nobleman who commands half the band's cavalry. His con is three yellow stars on blue. His banner is a black fox.

Effect: +2 Command
Effect: +2 Calvary Command
Effect: +1 troop morale

Daerid as a ancillary :
Daerid Ondin
This man has a broken nose and several scars on his face. He commands the Red Hand Band's foot soldiers.

Effect: +1 Command
Effect: +2 Infantry Command
Effect: +2 Bowmen Command
Effect: +1 Defence Command

Nalesean as a ancillary :
Lord Nalesean of House Aldiaya
A square-faced and blocky Tairen noble who commands half the cavalry of the Red Hand Band.

Effect: +1 Command
Effect: +1 Calvary Command
Effect: +1 Attack Command


I hope that my small contribution is usefull
This could eb a way, or we just have them as generals from the start, easier. We could force the PotD to take cairhien before they can build the band, but then they would only be able to build there.
