    Because I am not very good modeler you will not see any new units in it. But there will be some units from RTW used to make some factions more enjoyable. Roman Empire will have there legionaries back for an example
    Also there will be changes made to recruitment(this affects mostly Romans).
    So we'd start a campaign with the quintessential Roman legionaries and the reforms would replace them with comitatensis?
    If so,I would suggest tweaking some stats to make comitatensis superior to legionaries.

    Yes .. you will start the campaign with "regular" legionaries and they will be replaced with comitatenses and limitanei after reforms...
    comitatenses will be stronger stat wise then legionaries but much-much more exspensive .. while the limitanei will be cheaper and little bit weaker then legionaries ...

    Now .. it's been long time since the last update so it is good time for one now ..

    I'm making regional troops for the barbarians ..
    Those units are:
    Lombady Archers
    Burgundian Lancers
    Saxon Keel
    Frankish Sword Herbann
    Alemanni Axemen (2H)
    Frisii Pirates
    Frisii Pirateships (like large boats but stronger)
    Marcomanni Axemen
    Quadi Spearmen
    Chatii Foresters (missile unit)

    Now .. The Romans...
    These are units for them .. at least now ..
    Pre-Diocletian Reforms:
    Legionaries
    Legionary Cavalry
    Archer Auxilia
    Infantry Auxilia
    Cavalry Auxilia (non missile unit)
    *Provincial Infantry (cheap rebel fighting force)
    *Provincial Cavalry (cheap rebel fighting force)
    *Provincial Archers (cheap rebel fighting force)
    *Veterans
    Praetorians
    Praetorian Cavalry
    (this list is not 100% sure, there can be changes made to it)

    Post-Diocletian Reforms
    Limitanei
    Comitatenses
    Foederati Infantry (in northern provinces and barbarian lands only)
    Foederati Cavalry (in northern provinces and barbarian lands only)
    Auxilia Palatinii
    Plumbatarii
    Scholae Palatinae
    Sarmatian Auxilia (steppe provinces only)
    Cataphracts (eastern provinces only)
    Eastern Archers (eastern provinces only)
    Equites Sagitarii (mostly in eastern provinces)
    (this list is not 100% sure, there can be changes made to it)

    units with * can be trained after the reforms too..

    erm...sorry but I have to mention this. The Roman Empire in the normal sense did not exist. There were two halves to it, the Eastern and Western empires, each ruled by a seperate Caedsar and Augustus. These were still nominally roman and never fought each other but the East spoke Greek and the West Latin, and neither helped either often, like when the Huns attacked the east and Germanics attacked the West. Prehaps your mod will use a superfaction to represent this?

    This mod starts in 220 ... historically the Empire is still under 1 ruler in that time period ..
    There is roman usurpers faction (roman rebels) but there is no eastern or western half in this mod ..
    I planned to make the eastern empire to appear after certain time but left that idea alone .. it would be just too difficult to do .. at least for me ..
