Casse cavalry/infantry bodyguards

AFAIK druids weren't particularly forbidden from fighting (which would really have been both rather silly and right odd, given the whole "heroic warrior" ideal the Celts had going). Heck, IIRC one of the Gallic kings Caesar fought early on WAS a druid...

Anyway, if you now must switch Casse BGs around use the Rycalawre or similar badass warrior-class types. Much more reasonable than having the boss being hounded by a small army of druids... and if you now just *can't* make do without cavalry generals, the Remi would strike me as the most likely choice (and can maybe be handwaved as mercenaries).

See more the reason to go with druids

If any tries the Remi, i tried it awile back and ran into some problems , think you need to add some textures. Copy and Paste from 1 of the Gaul factions.

Problems i had were before the sprite fix i think.
I just looked at the unit and the sprites , should just have to add the general_unit trait. And take it away from the chariots. Then ur guys will spawn as Remi's.

And of course add them for your starting generals in the decr_strat in the Casse section , just copy the top name from the unit in the export_decr_unit and paste over the chariot names in the decr_strat.
Forgot , make sure to copy and paste the export_decr_unit into the sp & mp backups or Noo Worky Worky.

It's actually better to replace the unit's entire stat block save for the name lines and "general_unit" attribute (and faction ownership plus zero upkeep natch) with the one from the unit you want to use. That way even your starting generals have those BGs and there is, on the whole, far less hassle down the road.
Like when you recruit that unit normally.
