Error in building DAG Army for Illyria

1st Point: I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it will only allow the commanders' bodyguards to be Cavalry. Is it not possible to select Hoplite or Warrior or anything else?

2nd Point: When building a 500 point army it allows the selection of a C-in-C and 3 sub commanders, all of which must be Cavalry, but you are only allowed to select 3 Cavalry. Nevertheless, it allows you to do this, and charges the points for the 4th commander, but when the army is displayed there are only 3 commanders. The DAG selection should not let you choose a 4th commander if you can't have one.

I am not sure which lists are supposed designate certain units MUST be commanders , but the Mid Republican Romans are only allowed 2 or 3 choices for their leaders.. Either heavy cavalry or Triari.( ashame as i was getting used to using LC as commanders) The other part definetely sounds like a bug.

It sucks but I just buy 3 generals as LC and if you need a 4th then buy the ally.

That's what I did to get round the problem, and that works fine.

I was merely pointing out the error to the devs ::)
