what condition triggers new general / man of hour

I get most of my man of the hour generals by using my captain's unit to kill as many enemies as possible. So most preferiably heavy cavalry or archers would do the job. Riding or shooting down broken troops does not help. So the best way to get them is to search for 1-3 unit rebels and have your general to the most of the fighting. I never got a man of the hour event by just leading his army to victory several times without doint much fighting by himself.

Well you need to be a littel short of general's in the first place...

As per RTW you will dynamically get more get more Man of the Hour and adoptions if you have substantually more settlements than generals...

I think you need a Heroic victory as well...

With some factions it seems like if you capture a lot of guys and then release them the screen comes up.

Heroic Victory seemed to be the key in the first part of my campaign but later I've had less offers so it must be to do with using the generals unit as well, maybe an increase in experience for that unit helps?

Winning Heroic Victorys are not the only thing it seems, i won 3 battles both where Heroic but hes still a captain the poor guy. I have 4 generals and 13 provinces so its not that i have enough either. Btw the 2 battles i was sieged so i guess for those 2 it could that it does not work with sigies.

I got one when four units of mailed knights were ambushed by one of my faction heirs who had deserted and became a rebel.Luckily for me as it happens as he was a complete fruitcake.
His loyalty and stats were really poor when i got the offer to adopt him so i declined.

I've got 50+ provinces, and one family member. I get an adoption notice every turn, a marriage offer for my princess every turn, and every captain led victory leads to a 'man-of-the-hour' offer (Except settlement assaults/defences).
