starting with champions

well I been trying this for some time thought I would give it another crack ... ended up in failer :/ frustrateing lol

but anyways I am woundering is it possabole to have your sovereign start off with champions at all ? closest I

ever came was a while back I managed to get him to start with a champion as a normal unit couldent change its

eq though and I dont think I was able to pick skills on level up ... 

I am hopeing this is possabole as I am trying to create a sovereign who starts with 3 champion advisers

but has rather nasty penalties to recruteing champions in general
