Is it possible to make Allied Generals FMS?

Yeah pretty much what the title says. I was just wondering cause I think it would be nice to have someone not related to the family to come to power. But afaik this isn't possible, but i haven't done any research on this so I ask you now. Thanks ahead

If he becomes man of the hour after a large fight, he can be integrated into your royal family. Just like captains.

Really? Thats good, thanks :) Just one thing, is it easier for them to become FMs as oppossed to captains? I mean Iwin heroic victorys with captains all the time and I get like 1/20 becomes a Man of the Hour

Depends on your ratio of cities and FMs IIRC. If you have a lot of cities and very little FM's, you will get adoption reports every turn and people become man of the hour with great ease. If you have a large royal family and not that much cities, it will be very hard/near impossible.

I don't think that there is a difference between captains' and generals' chances of becoming a FM.

is it important that he has children? bribed generals rarely if ever have offspring, though perhaps adopted ones do

yeah, bribed generals, very rarely have children :/ i remember back in vanilla, before the patches, as Gauls i bribed 5 or something in total of the Julii family.

Kinda lucky, as my family had a little accident on a boat trip to Britain afterwards, but nevermind that :p

Anyway, those 5 were the last remaining FM's i had, and still controlled everything i did at the start + a chunk of Iberia, all i got was 2 boys (after some 10 years waiting) and a girl.

that was it :/

EDIT: Man of the hour though, seems to have none of these problems :b
