    Default New Generals/Family members

    Anybody know what the parameters are for victorious captains to become family members are? they seemed a bit more common when they were outnumbered for example, but then I have got them through defeating 20 naked rebel fanatics with 100 Roman cavalry...

    I think you need a heroic victory and to have few family members alive.

    Its numbers of generals low compared to numbers of regions.

    Quality of win affects quality of man of the hour..not if it happens or not.

    Hmmm, this may sound daft, but what exactly constitutes a 'heroic' victory?

    It will tell you in the results scroll if it was a Heroic Victory or not. Basically it is when you win when the odds are heavily against you. That is not necessarily numerical odds, but the quality of troops. For example, taking a thousand peasants and defeating 500 Urbans would definitely be a Heroic Victory.

    With the cav. archers factions you get very good generals immediately. It's very easy to defeat a half stack phalanxes with 4 cavalry archers. That's definately a heroic victory. And if you do this kind of thing each time, you will not only have good generals, but good troops as well.
