Roman – Royal Praetorian Elite – Recruitable in dlcs
IMPORTANT CHANGES: The Royal Praetorian Elites can now only be recruited once you have a Colosseum and cannot be recruited as generals. Scroll down for more important update changes.
The most skillful Praetorian Guards were handpicked by the Praetorian general and trained extensively for many years. Every five years the Emperor held an ultimative gladiator tournament in the Colosseum, where the chosen ones would fight to death against gladiators, predator animals and legendary fighters from all around the empire. The surviving few would live their days as the prestigious and (very) well paid Royal Praetorian Elites.
The Royal Praetorian Elites are the most feared and respected troops across the world.
One unit might cost the same as an entire army but they are no less valuable.The Royal Praetorian Elites makes up for their high expenses, with their unbelievable strength in battle (aka i have tried to balance them).

Increased armor and melee defense, but nerfed melee attack of some units.
Tier 1 unit with low armor and hp only need to take 50-60 dmg to die, to avoid overkill and wasted potential i reduced the dmg by 20% and increased the hp by 20% of Royal Praetorian Elite.
Tell me if you like these changes.

Royal Praetorian Elite Archers; Reduced melee defense by 5 and hp by 15
– They are only supposed to be deadly at long range, not close combat
