Out of curiosity, why is the Greek bodyguard unit missing a Lochagos? Is this to simulate that a general would be expected to command his own unit?

I didn't think any General's bodyguard had a Lochagos (or equivalent), only Captain's units. Or is that me?

What about the Romani one? They have the centurion in addition to the general. Would that be an "equivalent"?

Xanthippos has a Lochagos and Semaiophoros which is probably a result of the standart heavy cav Kart-Hadast bodyguard working differently. What I noticed in battle is that he's always charging ahead of his Spartans so I quess 3 officers screws up the formation.

The placement of officers is dependent on the unit itself, not the faction. The Spartan hoplite unit has both officers, so any generals that have Spartans as bodyguard have a Lochagos. KH generals that have the standard bodyguard do not.
