    Default Recruitable Governors/Generals

    All,
    Was playing The Fourth Age: Total War recently and noticed they have recruit-able general units and family members that are both mounted and foot unit types.

    i.e. you can have a foot general and cavalry general in the same army, is kind of fun for the RP aspect of it.

    anyways, for those that are interested, here is a link to the tutorial.

    Thanks to Aradan and Master of None for the tutorial.

    Roma Surrectum does this as well, I think (foot governor-generals, and mounted regular generals). Good link.

    Is it possible and easy to have this (recruitable general) in XGM? I know nothing about moding.

    XGM has a recruitable general already, from the 5th level government building. The foot-general idea is implementable with Bal's link.

    Wouldn't be a bad thing to have then. I think the AAR guys would definitely like it, as they could have a cavalry commander, infantry commander, and main general. Plenty of other scenarios with that too.
    Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind having infantry bodyguards, especially for Spartan FMs.

    The Carthaginians once hired a Spartan mercenary general. Maybe you should be able to recruit certain generals as mercenaries in certain regions, like a general with a hoplite bodyguard in Greece, a horse archer general in steppe lands and so on? Just make sure they come for a hefty price and a slow replenish rate to avoid spamming.

    Yeah, come to think of it, EB has mercenary generals.

    Would be very cool to have infantry bodyguards. :o How would the AI handle distiguishing between governors and generals though?

    Yeah, it would be nice that GCS leader and heir have spartan royal guard. Man
