Questions about a Massilian campaign

[Morte66]

I'm thinking of playing a Massilian campaign by moving the KH there using console codes, bribery, etc (I've done this before with the Bosporian Kingdom). I wanted to double check a few things about units and recruiting...

1. Massilian Hoplites have spear and sword. Which do they default to? If they were standing there in a line unattended, and cavalry charged them, would they hit spears or swords?

2. Are the Gallic Noble Cavalry which come from level 5 local MICs a regular unit, or are they a general with a regenerating bodyguard and traits and so on?

3. Is there any easy way to get either of the above as KH bodyguard troops instead of the Greek style hoplites?

I forget.

Regular unit. The Celtic General you can recruit in Type4 governments is a dismounted unit of Neitos.

Yeah, you have to modify the EDU text file in EB's data folder. Don't use notepad or wordpad, use something like Notepad++, you can download it for free. As for what files to change, try a quick search of the forum, you'll find a guide.
