Not to mention a pretty useless generals bodyguard
I've never seen why they're so useless, they have three or four Javelins each to toss into the backs of units to make up for charge deficency. I also have heroic stories from my Pontos (and Hayasadan, to a lesser extent) where the general bodyguards have turned battle after battle through sheer will, fighting like normal infantry amongst the ranks, and barely pulling through with like three men and the general left. Always fun.

Granted, they aren't nearly as God-like as the Hetairoi bodyguards of the Successor States, more commonly known as the Somaphytales Strategou, or something like that.

For ease on the battlefield, since neither the rank and file, nor the general staff can ever quite pronounce the Somaphytales Strategou, i've ordered the men to simply caution each other that "The Battering Ram" is coming.
