Can generals be made recruitable?

[General Maximus]

Hi,

Are generals recruitable? Because I haven't seen so till yet, after years of playing DM. I think this question has been asked many times by now, so please excuse me if I am repeating it.

Can they be made recruitable, if editing the export_descr_units and made the general's bodyguard recruitable?

Can you give a small submod for this? I can't, for the life of me, figure out how I used to assign buildings to the units to make them recruitable, and I remember it was a small thing, but I cannot remember the procedure.

Years ago, before I joined TWC, I used to make tonnes of new units for my personal use, though not polished but enough for personal game. Roman chariots, swordsmen for every faction, scythe hoplites for Greeks etc. That time I knew modding. But I have forgotten that after years of no modding activity.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes generals can be made recruitable by adding the following lines to the EDB on whatever building you want to recruit them from. In my submod I have them recruitable at the Academy as such:
