The sponsor has exactly zero control over who is in the army he 
sponsors.  That is entirely up to the lords and the Ruler.

Other than that, I completely agree, and would only add this:

...And if you like Crusader Kings so much, go ahead and play it, because 
BattleMaster is not Crusader Kings, World of Warcraft, D&D, or any of 
the other dozen or so games people have tried to take the entire

into X so that I can play X here *and* there!"
