How do I get more Generals?

[_Tristan_]

I just want to claify that you need teritories to get generals, I have won insane battles without getting "a man of the hour", I assume because one can only get so many, so now I turn down the ones I don't want.

Exactly... You can't have adoptions if your total number of generals equals or exceeds your number of territories. For proof, when you have an equal number of territories/generals, conquer a single territory, and you should get an adoption offer on the next turn.

Oh, and to get "man of the hour" you need to do the battles, like Tristan said; with an army that doesn't have a general, but he forgot to mention that you have to do it in the field. That is, not defending or taking a settlement.

I'm quite sure I've already had MoH offers when fighting sieges (but perhaps was it because the enemy sallied forth...)
