I heard somewhere that if your general wins a good few battles (one or two heroic or a bunch of regular battles), that he can be adopted as a family member. can the same thing happen to captains? i sent a 3 unit army behind enemy lines, and they have won 3 heroic battles already. will they eventually be promoted to general or something?

It can only happen to captains. Generals are already family members. In my latest Selucid campaign, for about 5 turns in a row, I got the option to adopt people with pretty good stats. Strangley, they were all in the same city, Alexandria. This is odd, as all the fighting was taking place around the Agean sea.

Yes, capt. can become family member a massage like MAN OF THE HOUR!! But in ROme BI not all generals are family members. They can be adopted after a great victory battle.

Does this happen often? i mean i think my captain deserves to be promoted already. 3 units, far into enemy territory, has won at least 8 battles already by themselves, 3 of those heroic victories...what more could they ask for!?

Adoptions and MotHs also depend on the number of territories you have, and how many Family Members you have.

Yeah, but your head is cut off by my chainsaw. End of discussion. Keeping on topic, the chance of getting 'Men of the Hour' increases with a heroic victory and the less family members you have.

I've had generals earn man of the hour sitting in my capital before, but not nearly as often as generals who emerge from combat victorious.
