Good idea, but if this is implemented then the chances of finding a captain in towers and camps should be lowered in order to make access to a stationary captain rarer. If done right, then whether or not you can get troops is less certain and players would be incentivized to carry coins with them to buy troops whenever they see a wandering captain instead.

Furthermore, since most servers have limits to how many units you can have hired at one time (Thus making the advantage of cheap units basically worthless), factions that have lots of cheap units could have more captains in order to represent the easier access to troops of said faction.
