    You can have only one type of FM bodyguard unit for a given faction (and another one after the vanilla marian reform). Therefore all KH FMs get those somatophylakes as a generic greek general unit. Those few Spartans at the beginning are an exception allowed by the fact that the starting characters, their position and bodyguard unit are defined in the descr_strat.txt.

    Therefore it is impossible to have different units used for FM who, from the game-engine POW differ only in a certain trait. That the Spartiates were implemented for the initial Spartans just proves how much effort the EB team puts even into the most insignificant details a how far they were able to go in pushing the engine limits to the utmost!
