That's true, as I believe the KH general's bodyguards are very effective in the beggining. They where for me, as I mostly assaulted coastal cities as quick as I could, thus needing any phalanx unit (best at fighting in narrow areas) I could muster, without substaining any great casualties. Later, of course, I find my armies a bit underpowered, especially when I see the AS wielding Klerouchoi, Argyraspides and some very good eastern cavalry, while I still use Hippakontistai, Hoplitai and Iphikratides
