WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL, this is a high risk, high reward activity!!! It’s extremely boring and if you’re not paying attention it’s easy to kill millions of troops. And they will be DEAD AND GONE FOREVER… not wounded, not troop souls, not deserters, DEAD, as in “need to train new troops to replace them” DEAD.
If you never done this before, please read these instructions 2-3 times before trying it.
One of your own Subordinate Cities can be used, but it’s easier to use someone else’s. If using one of your own, you’ll need to pick up a nearby white or green Subordinate City to temporarily replace the one being used for leveling.
To get zero killed troops, always use Siege Troops for attacking Subordinate Cities.
Note: The minimum Siege Troop numbers below are based on a keep that has VERY STRONG research for its level. It’s highly recommended to always get the Academy to the same as the Keep, then doing the maximum amount of research, BEFORE moving up to the next Keep Level.

Obviously it’s faster and easier to level Army Generals on the highest quality Subordinate City possible, just BE CAREFUL when first moving to a higher quality Subordinate City.
Other tips:
Always check the first 2 or 3 battle reports to make sure there are zero troops being killed. Once you’ve got it the hang of it, it’s safe to check battle report every 10-20 times to make sure you’re still getting zero killed troops.
Sending three (3) tiers of Siege Troops is safer than sending two (2) tiers. Sending one (1) tier of Siege will ALWAYS result in troops being killed.
Sending the minimum amount of troops plus 10-20% is safer than sending a maximum sized march. The fewer number of troops sent, the fewer will be lost if something goes wrong.
It’s VERY DANGEROUS to use March Size, Attack, HP or Defense Buffs because they are time sensitive and will eventually end, and if you don’t notice, millions of troops may be killed before you realize what went wrong.
If you need an extra boost to get zero killed, change your Monarch Gear to Siege.
At level 20 and 3 stars, a General can have an Assistant, so you can level two (2) Generals at the same time.
I have found that having 2-3 presets for training is worth the time and effort to change and then change back because you can train up to six (6) Army Generals at the same time.
DON’T USE Gold Japanese or Gold Russian Subordinate Cities to power level Army Generals. They are very valuable, and it will only invite someone to do something stupid.
