I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not, but can generals run in offices? Like be consul and such?

No only family members whatever happens in BI would be the same for SPQR in that line.

I just got my first general elected in a senate office... so GENERALS CAN run for elections like family members ;-) check the PIC... Aulus Alienus is a Quaestor

I am playing as Rome faction, and nobody from my family members has been elected to the senate offices yet. Why??? Do I need to meet some requirements?? I carried out senate missions, except one or two...May be, something more?

Alexis Synelnik: It is documented in SPQR v.6.4 README. You can find that section below...

////////////// begin excerpt from README //////////////
15. Elections are picked from leaders that Arent that Loyal to your faction, so the Senate can trust them, you may wish to keep 0 loyalty leaders for senate offices.

wow... someone has been searching in the old chest kept in the SPQR basement thread

This post is from february 2006 when no loyalty feature existed in SPQR and when the senate offices still worked ok with both family and generals alike

The start date was also 280 BC I think

Actually... I think the only way you can get elected in SPQR 6.4 is if you have no loaylty to your leader (backstabber)... it has happened to some of my relatives a couple of times

we can either take it as a glitch or maybe the senate wanting to backstab us through our disloyal relatives
