Man of the hour

[Aramis]

It is probably quite amateur question, but how to get man of the hour? It happened to me only few times when I fought without general, but in most of these battles I get nothing. Even if it is heroic victory and captain's unit is engaged in battle.

You need to have less generals than half the amount of your settlements to have any sort of chance of getting a MotH (or a chance to adopt a son). If you want more generals, you have to expand.

Does this also apply to generals having children? I am doing a game as Portugal and I have 4 family tree generals. (1 outside the tree, one dead King). Two of my generals have a daughter and 2 have no children, but all are married. With second oldest General I wasn't paying attention and married him to a woman who was like 15 years older than him (only noticing after it was too late) but with everyone else they just aren't having many kids, for no apparent reason.

I am using S.S. by the way.

What double A said. It's the game's way of compensating for a lack of generals/family members. The type of victory does not matter, you can get one even for a close victory.

Man of the hour is a bad way to fill up your family, much better to keep the family tree evolve naturally, the sons inherit fathers traits and so on.

You need to take more cites, Portugal starts with only 1 province, so there is little room for your family tree to expand because your province count is impacted by it.
