Something I found in EB1 was that I really didn't like factions with infantry generals as standard (Koinon Hellenon, Sweboz and Saba off the top of my head did). The added mobility of having FMs on horseback was invaluable. Often FMs would be the only cavalry, or the bulk of the cavalry I'd deploy - especially since they were often very good quality, if small in numbers unless the FM in question had a very high Influence. I'd usually have one on each wing, leading a unit of regular cavalry if I could afford them.
I've seen some suggestions that one of the ways to prevent suiciding AI generals is to make them infantry, but don't know if that's had any traction with the EBII team.
So what's the score? Are there lots of factions which have them? I'm assuming most of the Hellenistic factions still have cavalry FMs?
As a supplemental, will the number of bodyguards an individual FM has be as wildly variable as it was in EB1 (where it could be anywhere from 40-120 if cavalry)?
Additionally, will Client Rulers and Allied Generals still be available in EBII? I always thought they were awesome fun to have around.
