KH late bodyguard

[Callicles]

Is there a late bodyguard for the KH? If so, are they hoplites or cavalry? Thanks.

[antisocialmunky]

No.

KH only has the one bodyguard. That is, unless you count the Spartan bodyguards that the starting spartans have.

They don't have any reforms, so it makes sense that they wouldn't have any late anything. From what I understand, if you play KH, you're very much going into a "what if" scenario, since the alliance between Athenai, Sparte and Rhodos only lasted a few years. -M

Ehhh - just a question that came in my mind while reading this: when I hire a merc-general (greek cav) and he become man of the hour or that adopting-thing, will his sons have the cav or the spartan guards?

One thing I should test in my KH-Game but maybe those of you, who have more experiece could answer that question.

All KH family members that come of age after the starting date get Hoplitai Epilektoi as bodyguards. Only three of the starting generals get Spartans. In your case, the recruited general would become a family member, and hence his sons would have epilektoi as bodyguards.

ye, the hellenic phalanx, but dunno 'bout another one.

The Greeks only get a phalanx unit, if and when the March of Time event occurs.

well, never noticed that they are different, I'll have a look. Thanks.

Btw. on first post: so there are different bodyguards later. Just right after the beginning, but there's no real difference between them. ( I would say - but correct me )

KH generals start with two types of bodyguards depending on their origins. Athenians and Rhodians have Distuinguished type, a real fancy guys. They are as strong as Spartans and as capable. This type is your default one for the whole game:



Now, to spice things up a bit, EB team gave starting Spartan generals (and spawned Carthaginian general Xanthippos to be exact) different bodyguard, Spartan Hoplites:



Spartan generals (like the guy on Rhodos) you start with use those. But their sons will be using the default type. Which isn't any worse so no big loss except role-playing suffering from this.

Don't they get a unit or two in the March of Time thing?

[SwissBarbar]

yes, but that's a small trigger not a huge reform. It's not even in the FAQ as a Reform, IIRC
