so does anyone actually recruit all the bone tribes, barbarians, etc to round out weaknesses in national troops?

Been a very long time since I've done any Dominions.

Sometimes, yes! Sometimes it's because they're just better than your rubbish national troops, more often it's because they fill a niche that you lack, such as hitting really hard, having darkvision for cave battles, or just having a ranged attack at all. Cynocephalians hit all three of those niches, for example. And of course, sometimes the independent poptype allows you to recruit a mage with paths you don't have access to, like the various amazons.

Well, there are a couple who were explicitly given endless punishment for trying to help mortals, like "goddammit, how dare you teach these people how to make roads and boil water before drinking it, into the Doom Pits with you," so one might presume they'll get back to offering us the tempting delights of free healthcare and wifi when they're on the throne themselves.

Well you know what they say about building roads and good intentions...
