what condition triggers new general / man of hour

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).

you seem to get one when you win a battle without a general and the odds werernt too great in your favour. i find using city garrisons to clear up wandering rebels and autoresolving produces a man of the hour EVERY single time -this is on h/h

To get a man of the hour you need at the minimum a Heroic Victory. Next you also need the generals unit to get around 100-200 kills. Also a trigger in RTW was the captain himself getting at a minimum of 10 kills. Part of the reason why it's hard to get men of the hours when their not mounted.

If you know how to earn the "brave" line of traits, rinse and repeat that on a captian.

Anyone have a definitive answer to this ?

Yes, if you have very few generals compared to number of settlements, and captain wins a battle with suffeirng few casualties, the event will be triggered.

Thanks. Do you know what the ratio is ?

Playing un modded (1.1 patch) campaign I had a Heroic Victory - with a general (ie bod with bodyguard not just a captain) in charge who was awarded the "Man of the Hour" and then he was offered for adoption into the Royal Family as a son.

So you can get "Man of the Hour" with a general, but not as a general rule.
