I would think that commanders with a reputation for ruthlessness would face less resistance over time. It worked for Attila the Hun and the Mongol Khans!
This is a good thread, Mo. I think picoree would become increasingly common. Successful commanders could increase their men's loyalty. In time, men might become more loyal to their commander than they are towards the military as a whole or even to their own country. This became a significant issue in the late Roman Republic and led to several civil wars.
In T2K, I think it would lead to an increase in "Warlordism".
