As for elites fighting to the death again it is well recorded but by the time it takes place they are so outnumbered and so disadvantaged that any loses they inflict are totally disproportionate to those they recieve, basicllly they just die heroically. All they do is provide material for bards and poets!
I suggest to have an option that if the general dies that there is a chance that the bodyguard it was in will fight to the death. Germanic bodyguards were known for their loyality as were many others so that would be a good and accurate thing.
