Fertility problems with my Generals

[fatsweets]

I'm playing KH on difficulty level medium, Hard and it seems that I never have enough Generals for all my Cities. Right now I have around 15 cities in the year 246 BC and most times I get a new general through marriage or coming of age another older General will die so I seem to always have a few cities without Generals. Does anyone else have this problem and is it possible to make changes to train Generals or at least improve fertility?

It's typical to have a general for every 2-3 cities. It was decided that because it was too easy to abuse, there wouldn't be recruitable generals either. You could always improve ports to trade for oysters.

the thing is that the game allocates a certain amount of family members that is appropriate based on how many regions you own, and will not go past that point.

because the chance of getting adoption and 'man of the hour' events is so high, it often means that when theres an opportunity for another family member, the adoption/captain event happens well before new family members are born, and thus the family does not grow no matter how many fertility bonuses they have.

KH is one of the factions that shouldn't get babies. At all. Unfortunately, given the game's limitations, the best we can do is make them very, very infertile.

I just had a thought, but let me know if the EB Team has already made this a dead issue, but what if you could recruit generals, only in your capital city and it takes 8 turns and the cost is so great, say 80,000 mnai to recruit, so you wouldn't have 100 generals in one faction. Is that possible? I'm paying over 100,000 mnai to bribe rebel generals right now so I'm doing whatever it takes to get more generals but I still don't have enough.

what do you really need so many for? I have one for every city normally in my campaigns, maybe two armies at most so 2 generals for my two armies, and then a couple youths being educated back at my capital. how many generals does one need?
