I'm a mediocre enough player that I don't need house rules to make my game challenging. It's somewhat the other way round, actually-- I was annoyed at the enemy's bodyguard being overpowered. In particular, one early-game battle as the Greeks against the Macedonians was narrowly won only because of the presence of Spartan hoplites-- the four Macedonian generals were mowing down my Greek hoplites and militia hoplites.
That, imo, is not how the generals' bodyguards are supposed to be used.
