I think it's only based upon the events of a single battle more than anything. If the family is short, there's a certain chance that the captain will be promoted regardless of what kind of victory he's won. Occasionally certain generals miss out due to the random system not favouring them.

I've had quite a few appear after the battlemap when I've been low on family members. Since I rarley autoresolve, that's where I've found most of my new adoptees.
