I doubt that this armor really is that much heavier than a full plate mail, the use of which by foot soldiers in later times is fact.
As I said before, i don't think that the armor itself makes the units unrealistic/unhistorical, so there is a considerable difference between the units although they look similar, because of the "veil". From my unknowing point of view I consider it by far more probable that the largest empire at the starting date would be able to equip a picked few with such heavy armor than a tribal backwater kingdom (meant to emphasize, not to mock).
I guess Goidilic heavy infantry is an untechnical term for the Dubosaverlacica (they are goidilic, after all). The Dunaminaca you can find here:
