But I find it interesting to know how they pick their bodyguards and stuff... working on my Scythian epic, see, and I had this battle where my faction heir fought outnumbered against a Parthian sally and came out victorious with only 9 men left, but some turns later (mostly travelling) he ended up with 52 again. I need some way to explain it away before I post it in Mead Hall.

You don't have to mention numbers when writing a story. Just say he promoted some of his other cavalry to join him in his bodyguard. Or maybe he promoted some of the infantry commanders.

hehe try getting armoured eastern general up to 108 men with triple gold chevron and full weapons and armor upgrade. They are almost invincible. They smash into cohorts destroying their men and moral within a matter of seconds....provided u alt double right click so they use their mace in melee.
