Generally (ahem) they appear after a commendable defense, normally against a higher ranked unit(s). Not sure if this is a random event or not though, since it doesn't seem to happen every time.

hes random normally after a gallant defense, usually outside a city.

Set up a fortified choke-point near an enemy with a strong defensive unit. The AI will wreck army after army against it. Your units will keep getting promoted, and it becomes a Great General Factory.

Generally (ahem,LOL) I agree. It's partly random, but the more wins a unit makes, especially against higher or equal units the more likely you are to have one.
I've become a big fan now of planting warrior armies on the door step of the closest and first Ai I meet. This gets me a general fairly quickly, chokes a resource square, and best yet, I have a general sitting there for when my higher tech'd offense arrives.
If there's a gap in the time it takes to get higher teched units, say 10 turns, I'll demand a tech, using the peace time to rally or build the forces. If you gotta wait, might as well get something while waiting. Culture may push your units out in the mean time, but when timed well, you can have a damn nice stack. High tech offense can still use the other armies general, and the initial army that earned it can do clean up.

Thanks for your replies, everyone... My guess was that as well considering I never got one on any attacks AFAIK...
Gotta give that luck a push to get one them!

Actually once i had an warrior army with defense(or was it defence LOL) of 4.5 and an archer army of 4.5 attacked me, and i got a Great General.I had to load the game because i messed things up. and the exact same fight happened with the same outcome, and again i got a Great General. And what i am trying to point here that it might not actually be random.

The random number is saved, so if you save+reload a game and redo a battle just after the save point it will turn out EXACTLY the same
