Milites Romani-Gothorum
Has anyone noticed the highest tier sword infantry unit of the Visigoths (Milites Romani-Gothorum) in custom battles? Its a pretty neat unit right? Now tell me how many times have you recruited said unit in a Visigoth campaign?

With this post I am proposing to make the unit available for recruitment after settling. Feel free to put it in the higher tier barbarian buildings (chieftain/warlord keep) as it should represent the evolution of gothic warbands tempered by roman military traditions and discipline, which can only be achieved with time spent amongst romans, i.e. settling and mixing with them.

Additionally, other factions get mix units like this (Burgundar, Guotodin), why wouln't the Goths get it since they are the true "inheritors" of Rome. Even more so, why not add this unit to the Ostrogoths as well, were they so different from the Visigoths in military tradition?

Because much later only Ostrogoths and Burgunds used mixed units, while Visigoths (or Franks either others) never did. That is kinda use of existing unit that was inherited with old FotE that I didn't want to remove just for flavor while their historicity is disputable (yet not impossible, especially during migration). They rather represent possibility of ex-roman, germanic soldiers who were expelled from Italy (which was fact) and joined Alaric.
Caledones/Guotodin use "roman like" units, not romanized ones, so did Moors.

Got it. Didn't know the whole historic or mod background for context. I was just pining for making a cool (absolutely op) unit available while playing as settled goths.

I would like to propose to at least link these to a lower tier horde building linked with a technology that would be achieved sooner in campaign.

Having it being available from the Gathering of Elders building which is linked with the Royal Household technology makes it so you almost never get it during a campaign.

Actually that is fine motivator to keep faction horde for that unit before settling, which would make gameplay more accurate instead of rapid assault for nearest roman region.
Anyway - nope, recruitment keeps as it is.
