I know that many of us here at some point were looking at the ideas of how to implement promoting captains to generals. The general consensus is that “The Man of the Hour” event cannot be tweaked. Several mods deal with the problem by allowing recruiting bodyguard units, but it’s not quite the same. What I’m trying to do is, at the event of a crushing victory, pop up an info screen that the captain was promoted, subtract 1 from the captain’s current unit and add a bodyguard unit to the captain’s army, essentially making him a general. Simple? I’m not sure. Now, I have seen bits of useful code all over the forum, but lack the necessary expertise. Please tell me if this is possible and point me in the right direction (files, triggers, commands to use). Thanks in advance.

I don't think that's possible without knowing the captain's name. You could spawn the unit in a city or in a certain area but you'll have to figure out what you want to do yourself I think.
