Creating a general in descr_strat - General not showing on the map

Here is my descr_strat i dont know where is the problem, only army unit shows in city, but not the general i made in descr_strat

A 'general' in descr_strat is actually a captain (leader of an army without a general). The term used is misleading unfortunately. Use named_character instead and you will have a proper general.

After i use named_character i cant marry my princess for him? and why england can have general in descr_strat and characters spawn normally in city?

I am not very sure about the marriage mechanics, but a named character not in the family tree should be able to marry the local princess.

Which English general are you referring to? There are several that spawn as captains, which one spawns like a named character?

This generals spawn on the map normal, but why i cant add for other factions.. when i use named character princess cant marry for these generals..

I just ran a quick test with the base game - I turned Robin from a 'general' into a 'named character':

Code:

; character    Robin, general, male, age 20, x 99, y 131             ; cannot marry
character    Robin, named character, male, age 20, x 99, y 131     ; can marry
army
unit        Peasants                exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Spear Militia                exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Spear Militia                exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Spear Militia                exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit        Peasant Archers                exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

And had no problem to marry my princess to him:

This is what happens when i want to marry my princess to this general.. it says no unmarried generals

You cannot marry the princess within the family tree, the heir is regarded as a family member even if he doesn't show up in the family tree: please note that the second named character, Richard in your case, will always become the faction heir automatically if there is no other named character designated (like Rufus for England in the base game)

To test this simply create another named character under Richard - you should have no problem to marry him
