Having children

[vollorix]

Shame you can´t divorse your generals, and re-marry them again ( at least Romans practiced that a lot ). Or a daughter, to re-marry if her husband has died. The FM to settlements ratio is about 2:1. A way to "force" some births is to deny adoptions consequently - that should force even infertile guys to reproduce themselfs ( and Allied Generals also take FM slots, iirc ).

Btw: for the first time in a game i´ve seen the AI recruiting an Allied General; though, the unit had no FM portrait, but was a Lonchophoroi Hippeis unit - how is this actually possible?

I never adopt, I'll marry my daughters away, but adoptions are a no go (unless I'm roman and Julius Caesar branch offers itself :D)

I can tell you almost for a fact this is what happened; They had a city revolt to them and had a few units of Allied Generals revolt to them with it. They don't count as Generals or Client Rulers just elite units. I've had cities revolt to me with a full stack of Celtic Lesser Kings. It was apprently a resort for the guys...

just like vanilla, generic rebel general spawned without general
