Fertility problems with my Generals

Yeah thanks guys, I have been trying to avoid a lot of fighting because I didn't want to lose any generals but I'll take your advice and pick a good experienced captain and send him to the front lines with some good supporting units and hope for a man of the hour. Now that brings up another question, What does it take to get a "man of the hour"?, I've had some heroic victories but have not seen any "man of the hour" in a heck of a long time.

IF KH should not get babies and all the generals should come through adoption do they still get jealous of siblings being adopted in the same generation? because if so then it needs to be fixed

There is a limit to the amount of FM's you can have, based on how much territories you control. Therefore increasing the number of settlements in your realm should automatically lead to an increase in FM's either through adoption or birth + coming of age, since new territories increase that limit. You probably won't get to adopt 'men of the hours' if you don't win your battles or your victories aren't sufficient (not heroic enough). What is sufficient depends on how big your shortage of FM's actually is compared to the amount of territories you control.

Trying to control the number of generals is a waste. The game pretty much decides the number. If you need them, they will come.

Quick fix... manage all settlements.

Are you guys sure that the game controls the amount of FM's? In my pontos campaign I only have three provinces and I am constantly having suitors/new babies

Only some factions have fertility "controlled". Those are the ones where we don't want heirs taking over constantly. If you play a royal faction, you get plenty of royal kids hopefully.

Is there any way to control male/female children? (doubt it) But playing as Romani, I have about five girls for every boy in the upcoming generation. Just luck of the draw?
