Frankly, I don't care either way...

In SP, I tend to accept any general that suits my need and I have done the same here (totally forgot about the rule)...

Perhaps we could make a ruling from what is the rule in vanilla (ie no more generals than provinces)

Why not fix the limit at half the number of province ?

It should enable player to do some recruitment of real good generals or IC MoH (like I did) without spamming generals...

Let's say you own 9 nine provinces, you're allowed up to 5 generals... So if you started with 3 generals in your family tree, that's two adoption possible...

It would allow players to keep lines as pure as possible and still allow for manageable "empires"...
