Nah i have plenty of generals in my game... I have 15(give or take 1) cities and all but i think 1 of them has a governor because he is currently in the field with an army... I do get adoptions often but all are crap... 9 out of 10 are dull... 5 out of 10 are dull AND uncharismatic...

My generals are having kids like crazy... The 3 generals i started with all had at least 2 boy children and the guy who's last name is Blasio had 3 boys and a girl...
