@India

I believe it can be done manually now, so you don't need a heroic victory with a captain anymore(which, in fact, couldn't be done if your family was too large). You can just promote him to general status. Good for rp.

Agree that seems to be trend. i assume it will work in a simliar manner to you handing out titles and choosing your cabinet members. In MTW this was done with a little document holder, and you'd just use it on whoever you wanted to get whatever.

I would still like to see the option though of Hero of Hour or whatever it was called. I mean if a captain does do very heroically I'd still like to get a little message saying, "Hey you should pick this guy, he just beat a army single handledly"

yes, would be good to promote a certain number, say you have an army size/general ratio and as your army grows or a general dies you are given a list of candidates, most from the nobility but occasionally a deserving ranker.

Could have bonuses or penalties depending on who you pick, e.g. 'not noble born' for a ranker, or 'undeserving leader' if you select a noble with no experience.

A marvelous idea, pdoyle007! Would love to see something like this.
