    Default Napoleon body guard change!?

    Does anyone know if the bodyguard is changeable?
    For example can I change Napoleon's body guard units to Chasseurs of the Guard following Napoleon and make it more realistic or how about changing Kutuzov's guards to the Russian imperial cuirassiers. Remember in Alexander total war how alexander was his own unit? I was wondering if someone could make a mod on this with accurate guards for each general sort of how in the historical battle borodino you get Joachim Murat and his unit is cuirassiers.

    You don't have to alter the stats (to add shooting ability to the vanilla general's bodyguard), simply swap the visual model being used to the Chaussers a Chaval de la Garde. I think it looks sexy!

    well i support the idea, i would love to see napoleon with chasseur guard (since real life napoleon have chasseur as a guard anyway).

    i actually don't mind change the stats, like if you prefer strong gen you can have carabinier as a bodyguard, if you prefer fast moving gen you can hae hussares as bodyguard, and for the people who love using their general as jihad suicide charge() , they can have lancer as a bodyguard,

    afterall, i just don't want general to have musket. (like chasseur a cheval did)

    All of you are heroes for this!
    Really though I wish it was just historical so it would be awesome if klesh or anyone else could make generals into actual units with full size like cavalry and give each general their respective and historical horse guards be it chasseurs or lancers or whatever. I also have a request for the historical marchals mod could you add Jozef Poniatowski and if you do decide to do the unit change he should have polish guard lancers.
    I could help you with research if you choose to do this, I too am a Napoleonic fan.

    Polish Guard Lancers would not be appropriate - perhaps line Uhlans or Chasseur a Cheval.

    If it was 1809 then Chorągiew Konna Przewodnich (Gidow) Banner of Horse Soldiers? (Guides of Prince Poniatowski) Company of 79 men formed May 1809 & disbanded November 1809 would be correct.

    In Masters of Europe, each general units has its own historical body guard, and two officers (instead of 24 generals ). For France, we are using elite companies

    It works in my mod Masters of Europe. I have no interest in checking compatiblity with other mods (especially with a general "unit mods", but you see it's possible to have bodyguards for each general

    The way I've always seen it, the General's Staff was the general, a few aides and the rest colonels or brigadiers, with majors leading the regiments on foot.
