    Hi, how about new sort of Roman Legionary cohort when they invade Dacia. Let us say when the Romans lose a major battle against the Getai or some other faction that uses the rhomphaia they can recruit a new kind of cohort (only in that region) that has his right arm covered just as it happened in reality?

    That's already technically possible (at least in EB1: the cataphract reform could be adapted for this), but a lot of work to implement a tiny detail. The adoption of armguards was a one-time occurrence, not a lasting reform. Also, I am sure that individual soldiers supplementing their armour to deal with specific threats was not uncommon. We just heard about it in this case because Roman writers wanted to emphasize the effectiveness of the Dacian weapons.
