The Persian General's Bodyguard is a type of missile cavalry unit available to the Persians in Rome: Total War: Alexander.

Description[]

The choice of chariots to bear him into battle marks the general as a confident, attack-minded commander.

Chariots, especially of the scythed variety are a weapon of terror able to carve corridors of ruddy-tinted death through enemy formations. Though determined spearmen will eventually stop them, they will pay a heavy price to do so with many survivors left to fact life shorter by a good or two - or even a while leg! Far better to use missile and skirmish troops to shoot the horses out from under them before closing to exact vengeance on any unfortunate survivors.
