Hmmm, just looking at ur tech tree for BYZANTIUM. Is it finalised or confirmed? Is there a chance of revising the tech tree so as to accurately train troops in a way that matched the Thematic and Tagmatic system?

For example:
IMPERIAL ARSENAL: A pre-requisite building that allows for the equipping of elite units like the Varangian and Klibanophori plus Tagmatic Kataphraktoi troops. In addition, it could also equip other foreign elite units that served in Byzantium like the Pharganoi and Manglavites.

THE SCHOOLS:
Another pre-requisite building required to train elite Tagmatic troops from the famous four schools - Excubitores, Scholae, Vigla, etc, etc.

MUSTER ROLL: ALl Thematic soldiers were registered landholders in the provinces capital, it could be a building that is required to train thematic soldiers. From there a BARRACK or CAVALRY STABLE could be built to train thematic cavalry and infantry troops.

just my two Bezants..

There is a chance, yes. But for the actual buildings we'll probably use our own system anyway. You could however be helpful by listing possible new units and state whether they're themata or tagmata, and list which units you think should be removed. But try to keep the number of units down if possible, and leave out those who didn't have a major importance in the period.
