https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2686044803

Rome Rerostered adds new and existing units to the faction unit rosters (campaign buildings like trader, port and smith can recruit units), and rebalances some unit statistics.
This mod has been intented to increase the replay value of the base Rome Total War game and includes some rebalancing concepts by changing faction roster unit availability, tweaking early game units stats, and includes new General Bodyguard units, along with the support for Onagers, Stone Wall and Huge City for Barbarians
Multiplayer factions also have access to new and existing (mercenary) units.

This mod supports 2.0.5, and is compatible with Mundus Magnus, Europe 270 BC, RTR Graphics pack and Swagger’s Blood FX.
(mods altering unit statistics, like "Chivalry", will not be compatible)
