-New Units
New IB2 units:
--------------
WRE
-----------
Pedites Bucellarius: Pedites Bucellarius were elite foot troops and sworn retainers for their lord.
Equites Bucellarius: Equites Bucellarius were elite cavalry troops and sworn retainers for their lord.
Domesticorum Pedites: This is an infantry guard unit normally based in Rome
Auxilia Palatina Seniores: are elite heavy infantrymen, armed and equipped much as other late Roman soldiers. Their status as an elite palace guard makes them something of a special forces within the field armies of Rome.
Vandals
-----------
Vandal Nobles: are heavily armed and armoured cavalry warriors who are expected to charge into enemies and hack them to pieces.
Vandal Heavy Spearmen: In the 5th century Western Roman Empire cavalry may be king, but Vandal heavyspearmen are the regicides!
-----------
Visigoths
-------------
Gardingi: A warlord leads a personal guard of able and fierce warriors
Saiones: The Visigoth Saio was a sworn retainer exclusively to his lord.
Gardingi Infantry: These men are noblemen. As such they are better armed and trained, ready to be thrown into the fight at the moment of decision.
-----------
Suebi and
Mercenary Units
-----------------
Mercenary Pedites Romanii: Mercenary Pedites Romanii are equipped, and fight, in the same fashion as 'proper' Romans - and indeed, they see themselves as being Roman rather than Barbarian. They are hard, dedicated warriors, determined to defend their people and homes.
Sarmatian Western Argaragantes: Argaragantes are the warrior elite among the Sarmatians. Although, for several generations living within the Roman Empire, they are at heart steppe warriors, with all that implies about their skills as horsemen and archers!
Mercenary Steppe Infantry: Mercenary Steppe Swordsmen fight on foot with swords bows, shields and some armour protection. They are not quite heavy infantry, but are certainly too well armed to be considered light troops and too experienced to be not taking seriously.
Uzgilesun Skuzzon: Chosen Archers are highly prized for their skills as excellent bowmen, being fleet of foot and expert hunters. They are armed with self bows and melee weapons.
Barduwarja: Every tribe needs its heroic warriors: men who stand head and shoulder above the rest. Men who laugh at danger! Men who show no fear no matter what the odds!
