Pritanoi body guards switch

[Robo]

How do I make them into chariots or cavalry? I remember back with EB1 it wasn't that hard but after searching for a bit i seem stuck.

You can do it all in the EDU. Which unit do you want to use? The Markakoi (Noble Cavalry)? I'd strongly advise against using chariots, they're terrible.

Quick and dirty change would be to replace their current entry (search for celtic infantry british bodyguard) with this:

Use Notepad++ and not Windows Notepad, which will corrupt the file. Note this will not be savegame compatible.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking cavalry. Chariots can be a bit wonky. Do the chariots still have the frighten foot ability? It doesn't say when you click on unit details.

Only heavy chariots do - the Celtic/British ones aren't heavy.
