lol, fully aware of the fact that I don't have to accept adoption offers, I never do. It's just that children are born regularly, just like in M2 and because the existing generals live so much longer than the vanilla version of the game, you end up with a significantly higher number of generals than you would in basic M2. Like I said, just a suggestion, that's all, would like not to have to send them off to die because they cost me too much to maintain. Thanks :-)
