It's nice if the PCs have to command relatively small "armies". I don't see much point in having them as full generals, because then, they'd be working full-time for the army, where's the adventuring time?

Political intrigue and fighting the monsters no one else can fight.

One player compared the campaign to Babylon 5 - many of the protagonists commanded soldiers and other people under arms, yet there was no shortage of trouble the protagonists themselves ended in.
