Barbarian Hordes Expanded
This mod adds the existing units that are missing from the migrating horde buildings, it also adds 9 extra migrating buildings which gives the improvements for fletching, horse breeding, armour and weapons. Additional buildings have been included for those missing buffs, and some game fixes.
Save compatible.
Additional note, this mods does even more than the details covered below, from a choice of two settlements for the ostrogoths, to garrison numbers increased, even some fixes made in the technology trees.
This mod isn’t friendly and can conflict with other mods, it requires PFM to make it more compatible. Feel free to any persons who wish to download this or any of my mods, PFM these mods to make them more campatible, and re-distribute via workshop, the only thing I request is to be mentioned.
This mod will continue to be updated for the time being, I still have some ideas for improvements.

I really like the idea of playing as a horde, but the missing units make it unappealing, this mod gives those missing units. Ideally there should be some extra migrating buildings, and all the unit recruitments should be placed in more suitable buildings, to provide a more fair and balanced gameplay.
Barbarian hordes are weak compared to hunnic, the migrating buildings don’t give off the same benefits, either less money or bigger integrity penalty, and while hunnic hordes can have horse breeding, weaponsmithing etc, along with large onagers, the barbarian horde didn’t have these options.
Update 26/07/2015
Curing Shack no longer disables Goat Herd and visa versa, Enclosure no longer disables Pastures and visa versa.

Additional Celtics Levy, Germanic Levy, Nordic Levy, Sarmatian Band, Desert Levy added to cities and towns recruitment. West roman Rally Field has been added to Ostrogoth building selection, three db tables added to mod to make it possible. Recruitment of dignitaries and champions have been adjusted, tier 2 and tier 3 buildings for all factions.
Update 26/02/16
Additional Slavic Levy Spearmen added to cities and towns recruitment, added missing Alani Onager and Slavic Large Shields to migrating buildings, moved Slavic Axe Levy one tier down on migrating buildings. Developement points for upgrading migrating horde buildings has been removed, lowering the amount of developement points to a more reasonable value.
Updated 08/01/16
The following table "building_instances" has been added to this mod, getting slightly annoyed only being about to build buildings such as farmsteads and artisans one at a time, hordes are fine but non-hordes are currently a joke.

Additonal db tables were added, removed Germanic Pikemen from Ostrogoths and Visigoths, moved Ras Guards and Zafar Sentinels from commander unit to tier 4 City Infanty barracks for Aksum and Himyar, added Light Moorish Cavalry to Garmatians.
