What is the point of having sub commanders? Do they grant benefits to the units they're attached to? Its kinda annoying to have my king die because he was attached to a unit in someone's army.

They grant no benefits. They all get chances to fight/kill/capture the opposing commanders though (or be killed/captured).
Your king only gets attached to an army if you didn't turn off 'this unit can be commander' at the portrait. Turn that off, problem solved.

Sub commanders are going to be fleshed out more in the upcoming naval warfare expansion.

I always assumed that they take over if the main commander dies. But I'm not sure if this is actually the case.

This.
Sub commanders will be able to help you spot and intercept enemy fleets. They will also help you get spies and saboteurs into distant enemy territories, they can also be used to cut enemy communication and retreat routes. Depending upon their own chosen Focus they may end up becoming Boomers or Hunter/Killers.
Sub commanders may also duel each other, but unlike other duels the results are almost always fatal to one side or the other.

I can confirm this happens.
Also, where are you guys getting the naval thing from, is this hopes and dreams or has there been any solid confirmation?
Rats. I was hoping nobody had still written that and, a couple of seconds after finishing reading the OP, to my dismay I saw this post.
Well done, sir, well done. A really deserved "agree".
Satire is dead !
Read between the lines.
Satire? no, tone is dead. I can't read text in your internal voice. But this is the problem with text
communication, where jokes and humor can only be conveyed through punchlines and not tone.
(but I get you tho.)
Fair enough. Maybe it's because I am also currently playing modern combat (Wargame: Red Dragon), but as soon as I saw "Sub" I thought "Submarine". I then tried to confuse the issue with double word play.
FWIW and AFAIK, sub commanders give bonuses to the flank on which they are assigned, thus having a good "Flanker" on your flanks or "Direct Leader" in the centre gives that side appropriate bonuses for tactic selection etc. Wherever possible I always like to have a good secondary commander with my main force, if for no other reason than to take over if my main commander is killed.
