In my current Baktrian campaign, I've been trying to hold off the Saka(as they have taken Alexandreia-Eschate and Marakanda while I was busy elsewhere). I sent 3 pantodapoi phalangitai units to the river near Baktra and put them in a fort. Sure enough, 2 turns later a huge Saka army came marauding, and those guys, though they took 46% losses, obliterated the Saka army, and killed 2 enemy family members at the end of the battle with their axes.
One turn later came another army, which killed the remaining men in the fort to the last man, but not before those brave souls killed the one family member of that army and giving their army substantial losses. Their sacrifice saved Baktra, as I had almost no garrison there....a monument will be erected in Baktra to commemorate their heroism for the generations to come to see!
I know that there are no units left to get 'attached' to, but it comes close, or close enough.
