Generals of same culture all have to share same models?

Title says it all.

I've been making some general skins for EB, but I didn't realize that perhaps I can't use more than one model.

In other words the East General, will have to be the same model for every "East" faction, and only the skin can differ, is this correct?

I hope that is clear, if not please tell me.

You can take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think that's the case. In vanilla the spanish don't use barbarian models they use carthaginian (or at least I seem to remember there being notes in DMB that they should use carthaginian models). I may be looking in the wrong place but descr_character.txt file seems to be where you can specify which model the generals for each faction uses (both for strat and battle models). I don't know how this works for general's bodyguard units though.

Awesome, never dealt with descr_character text, but it appears to have what I need.

Thanks.
