    Molosson Agema have better stamina than Thessalians and Lonchophoroi - they can charge around like light cavalry (or Prodromoi) without getting tired. Long as you don't leave them in melee with unbroken infantry, they're pretty survivable too.

    Hmmm, I was mistaken. I thought Molosson had only good stamina and the BG's had very good but it seems both have very good stamina. I won't argue that Molosson Agema aren't superior, they clearly are, but Thessalians are a good substitute for KH. They are very expensive but if you own most of Greece, lets face it, you can afford it.

    To be honest, I only know about the bodyguard ones, I never recruit my own heavy cavalry. Expensive and not cost-effective when I've always got FMs to spare.

    Can anyone give me advice regarding FM ethnicity, More precise with the Rhodios FM's. Are they really that bad when it comes to trade? i mean my FM and his sons always gets Poor/Appalling Trader trait werent Rhodians exceptional traders? or does this come along the fact that they are easily corruptible? Athenaios are my favorite statesmen i even send them to undergo the Spartan Agoge to make them more awesome, Spartiates are also very good statesmen in my game and dont have much negative traits. So any advice what to do with Rhodios FM's? I want a Rhodios to govern Rhodes since its a major trade state but they cripple the cities income and i'm seriously tempted to put an Athenaios in their place >.<

    Thanks and Merry Xmas everyone! :)
