Saka "building" bodyguard cav (I think an error)

[mikepettyrtw]

I know all about "March of Time" event and its effects on bodyguard cav. I don't think this is related. I think its an internal dictionary problem or something. Its easy to see in the custom battle menu. The actual Sakan general (ie your FM) is called something like "Saka late Catapracts" and the actual late Cataphracts are written as "Saka late Bodyguard". So when Saka is actually just recruiting Cataphracts, the name of the unit is showing up as "saka bodyguard cav"; with info as such. If you don't get what I'm saying, simply go to the custom game menu and play as Saka. There's clearly a unit of 40 men (on huge battle settings) called "Late Cataphracts" that is clearly the actual late Bodyguard cav; as well as a unit of 100 men (on huge settings) called "saka bodyguard cav" even though its clearly a unit of cataphracts.

I'm going into such detail because I think someone reported something like this a while back but responders thought is was a question about the "March of Time" event.
This is not a huge deal, proly just one messed up entry somewhere. I was just wondering if there was a solution.

I have EB 1.2 on BI (the problem was present on RTW.exe as well.)

PS. I love EB. I have not played vanilla or any other mod since installing EB. I am a Nomad steppe Kha-khan and have been since my first Parthia campaign in vanilla some years ago. I still remember my best Generals name "Arses the Horseman", ole boy left a sting of crossed swords around the middle east until his death in a ridiculously massive battle against (vanilla) yellow fever. He was only 24 IIRC.

I have some screenshots of the units in question:

[seleucid empire]

those saka bodyguard cavalry (the 100 men one) are actually recruitable from as soon as you start the game. The Saka late cataphracts (40 men) are only available as bodyguards to your generals after march of time

also what is with that horde of elephants in your battle

I understood that by looking in the recrutement viewer. But I still don't understand why their Cataphracts are called bodyguard cavalry and vice versa.

As for the elephants, I was trying to see how many I could nerf before dying. I have brought down elephants before with cataphracts, so I was just seeing the upper limit.

Don't mean to be beating a dead fish, but can anyone explain?

Maybe the EDU name is switched? (the dictionary name) Or maybe the actual text was written for the wrong unit? Are the descriptions switched too?
