But general's bodyguards should not be used to replace other cavalry units. With a hellenistic faction the general participates in mounted combat, but it's the actual cavalry units that should do the job. It's a cheap way to save money by replacing elite cavalry with FMs, but if one doesn't do this I don't see a huge disadvantage.

If it wouldn't mean AI generals getting slaughtered, reducing bodyguard numbers would be plausible.
