apaches generals-unit question

[Don in the North]

id like to know do these weak infantry unit-generals ever get an upgrade to horse-unit?
sorta like how in rometotalrealism 5.0 or so where you can upgrade generals to mounted at a specific point of time (gaius reforms)

if not; is there a mod that incorporates this or is it relatively possible to do myself?

sorta sucks to be really enjoying mounted-thunderbrave battles only to have my general instantly murdered on enemy generals cavalry charge. last few battles i actually assassinated enemy generals before hand to ensure any cavalry charging my general would route on the way due to gunfire, or shortly after charge, but sadly the general i now face is frances faction leader so obviously rather hard to assassinate

It's not possible to upgrade them to horseback by default. Whether it's mod-able I don't know, but you should probably ask in the Mod Workshop forum.

PS. You can always put your general behind a unit of Onde's Men to counter cavalry.
