Summary: An easy way to have different bodyguards. This is available for your starting characters only.
How to have different bodyguards for different characters within the same faction
This can only be done for named characters who are active at the beginning of the campaign, ie, they appear in descr_strat.
Here's the character entry in descr_strat we'll be changing.
character Ptahhotep, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 35, , x 202, y 32
traits GoodCommander 1, PublicFaith 2, MathematicsSkill 3, Embezzler 1
ancillaries mathematician
army
unit egyptian general's bodyguard early exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
The first unit beneath the character is the bodyguard unit. Instead of riding on a chariot Ptahhotep wants to have some Nubian Spearmen as a bodyguard. So I simply change the unit directly beneath him:
character Ptahhotep, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 35, , x 202, y 32
traits GoodCommander 1, PublicFaith 2, MathematicsSkill 3, Embezzler 1
ancillaries mathematician
army
unit egyptian nubian spearmen exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
And that's it.
