Recruit-A-General

Simply allows you, and the AI, to recruit generals like any other unit. Any time. Any province. Any campaign. Simply.

YEP:
Can recruit them in any province with a castle. So any province!
Works with all campaigns. Sengoku, Boshin, Gempei.
Can assign commissions, marry them to family and adopt them, akin to the normal generals.
Boshin generals play by Boshin rules. Modernize enough and you'll lose access to the Hatamotos in favour of General's Bodyguards. It just works.
Limit of 12 generals can be purchased. More can still be obtained through normal means, however.
They have names, portraits, and randomized ages like normal generals.
This mod's acronym is rag.

NOPE:
No new abilities
No new cosmetics
No buildings. events, or techs, required!
No balancing considered, outside of a price increase to 600 and limit.
No I can't get rid of the icons when you can't recruit hatamotos or bodyguards due to modernization :( .. Yet.
Recruited generals come with no discernable traits
Not compatible with any mods that edit the general unit specifically in units_tables

Other:
Mod's .pack name is nononsenserecruitgeneral.pack, for easy identification or further modding interests.
It was a pain in the rear to get the boshin generals to interact with modernization, grrr
