How can I create new generals in descr_strat.txt?

[lonck]

I tried copying an existing general and change the name but in-game only the units appear and not the general. How can I place a general in a settlement through descr_strat.txt?

first of all you can not combine armies so if the city already is garissoned you'll have to add the general to the garisson and if it already has a general it wont work as you cant spawn more than 1 general/army via the descr_strat file ..

make sure your general is using a name specified for that faction in a file called something like "descr_names"
and make sure that add the bottom section of each factions block of code in the descr_strat file you set the general up in the family-tree, note that you can only have 1 leader so it has to be a son, and note that each general can/should only have 4 children in vanilla settings so you might even want to make it a grandson ....

look at the desr_strat file how its done, with the above in the back of your mind I'd guess you pretty much have all the info you need .. ;)
