Adoption/Generals

[sgarr]

Sorry if this is an already answered questioned. I can't find it if it is. Is there a mod or something I'm not doing in regards to making a captain a general without adopting him into the royal family? If I want to marry him into the family at a later date I can with a Princess, but at the initial promotion just being a general with no royal ties. Thanks guys.

Hello,

As far as I know that is hard coded and therefore impossible to mod. So, no. There isn't any mod that can do that.

Hello to you. I was thought that might be the case. I wondered because at the start of the campaign certain factions have generals that are not listed in the family tree. I thought there was a way to make generals that weren't family members. Thanks for your time.

You need to mod the game to enable Bodyguards or Late Bodyguards as trainable units. Producing either one will also generate a non-royal general for your army.

Those Generals that you recruit can get adopted into the family pretty quick if they command armies in battles though.
