Western Roman Empire - Foederati Pack

This mod adds 14 new units for the Western Roman Empire based on German counterparts and fictional Sarmatian units.

At the decline of the Roman Empire their military might had become diminished due to infighting and a lack of resources to uphold a professional army to protect their vast lands, the answer lay in the tribes who were migrating towards the Empire away from the Alans and Huns. They were granted land in return for troops to bolster the Empire's armies.

This mod adds 14 new units which are:
Foederati Pikes
Foederati Archers
Foederati Lancers
Foederati mounted warband
Foederati Swordsmen
Foederati Heavy Swordsmen
Foederati Beserkers
Foederati Falxmen
Foederati Heerbann
Foederati Sarmatian Mounted Skirmishers
Foederati Sarmatian Infantry
Foederati Sarmatian Spears
Foederati Sarmatian Noble Infantry
Foederati Sarmatian Cataphracts

The German based units are recruited from the city chains, so are much wider available than Roman units, and recruitable from newly conquered regions, or provinces that do not need a heavy military presence (i.e Ibernia), which makes them more realistic.

The 5 Sarmatian Units are only available in Fur resource areas, these are; Pannonia, Frisia and Hyperborea and are recruitable from Fur trader buildings. This is a work around to the fact there is not region restricted units and to add some tactical element in holding Pannonia (Siveria) which is normally one of the first cities to be attacked in the campaign, the reward for doing so is more varied and some elite units from the level 4 building (Cataphracts and Noble Infantry, both of which are some of the best units available in the game)

The German units are based on comparable in game units, and not on historical fact and are meant to add vary to the Armies. The Sarmatian units are just for fun but are not as widely available.
