Gemfire/Generals

Generals in Gemfire are necessary to lead armies and capture new territories. They can be assigned various tasks within their given posts and may even delegate on the player's behalf if chosen to do so.

To recruit new generals, players must conquer an enemy clan or convince an undeployed officer to defect. Persuading a current lord allows the player to own their state as well.

During a playthrough, each general may receive a +1 stat boost (+2 for rulers) at the start of a new year. The chances of receiving stat boosts vary between different generals.
