View Full Version : [General's Bodyguard] How to make Vollorix a cavalry unit?

I'm not a fan of infantry generals, and the widely-available Vollorix uses neitos as its bodyguard. Great unit, but nowhere near mobile enough for how I like my generals since they're footmen.

How would I change the bodyguard from Neitos to Curepos? Curepos are a merc unit, so I presume that should make it easier?

Would it be savegame compatible?

Just out of interest, how do you use Celtic Lesser Kings (Vollorix)?

I only use them for garrisoning Type IV govt. towns, as governors. Where being footmen is an advantage for fighting defensive battles instead a settlement. I never use them as generals....

I'd like to play a Galatia migrated game with Casse; I don't want to transport any Casse FMs over there (I'll leave the faction in Britain), and I'd rather not use the Hellenistic Mercenary General for my field commande if possible. If it comes to it I'll do that, but it would be nice to have an actual Celtic bodyguard.

I could just take the Aedui of course, but I'd prefer to leave them in Gaul.

Ah. I wonder if the Galatians used chariots....

According to this they did...

Hmm, and the "imitation legionary" is basically the Neitos unit as well.
