The maximum number of generals you can hold (shown atop the Generals screen) is increased by two free levers: (1) Keep level — cap rises as you upgrade the Keep, e.g. Keep 28 -> 50 generals, Keep 29 -> 52, Keep 33 -> 67, Keep 39 -> 104; (2) VIP level plus an active VIP time item — each VIP level adds generals to the cap (VIP1 +0, VIP2 +1, VIP3 +2, ... up to VIP23 +70, VIP24 +75, VIP25 +81); if VIP time lapses, the effective cap drops and you may show as over-capacity (e.g. '75/67') without losing any generals — they remain, you just can't add more until you free slots or VIP time is reactivated. These caps have been raised multiple times via game updates (June 2021, November 2021, April 2024), each time retroactively increasing the limit for existing players.
