Need help with the KH

[Watchman]

We would either have to make a new edu entry for a spartan unit with 0 upkeep (that would only appear ingame for those three generals + the carthage 1), remove them as bodyguards, make a script to give reparations, or leave as is. Not sure which is best.

Why not just use the otherwise standard KH Epikletoi bodyguards ? In practical terms they're almost identical anyway (the stat differences are fairly nominal), and I think they can be handwaved through easily enough in the interests of consistency as a Spartan conceptual equivalent. Maybe with a bonus chevron to account for the "root stock" hoplites these particular Epikletoi were picked from being a tad tougher customers than the rank-and-file "classical" Hoplitai and the rest of the Spartan peculiarities inasmuch as they can be regarded as relevant ?

The early years were tough in my KH campaign, I ended up at about -5000 before I took Korinth, Krete, and the Thessylian Mak City. The Maks seem to wander off to attack the Epeirotes which is fairly lucky I guess since I couldn't build anything for two years. After that though, I haven't found the KH particularly challenging since you get pretty much nigh-immortal generals along with a great set of awesome looking and powerful infantry units.
