How to get recruitable generals (aka family members) on vanilla RTW?

[Stella Artica]

What's to be edited and where? I'd like to recruit family members on vanilla version just like I do with Roma Surrectum or Terrae Expugnandae mods.

You need to make the general`s bodyguard unit recruitable in export_descr_buildings as you would with any other unit.

But can real family members (the ones that appear on the family tree) be recruited? I am only able to recruit generals as characters.

Recruitable generals are not family members, despite being named characters. They can later be adopted into the family though.

Family members are only obtained through birth, marriage or adoption.

How can the recruitable generals be adopted? Is there a hint on this?

Hardcoded thingy, happens when they win a difficult battle and your faction needs generals (ie too few generals for the regions you have).

No way to improve the chance of this to happen by editing descr_strat or characters_trait? What about triggers and so?

No, it's all hardcoded.
