Western Roman Empire – Elite Foederati Units Pack
Elite Foederati Units Pack for the Western Roman Empire
The Roman army, by the 4th and 5th century, relied heavily on foederati troops from Gothic tribes. This mod attempts to be semi-historical to reflect the foederati composition of the Roman army near the waning decades of the empire under Commanders such as Aetius, Stilicho, and Majorian.
Vanilla Attila Total War only allows players to levy basic, mostly Tier I, units from the passing hordes. They also lack variety and effectiveness mid- to late-game.
This mod adds the following 20 units from the Gothic factions (the Franks, the Visigoth, the Ostrogoth, the Alans, and the Burgundians) and a few from Africa and the Eastern Roman Empire.
Most of these units were selected for their effectiveness against the Huns. Otherwise, they shore up critical weaknesses in the WRE’s vanilla early and late game unit roster (which lacks in melee armour-piercing units, shock infantry, skirmishers, shock cavalry, and melee cavalry).

Check out my ERE foederati pack as well, both can be used at the same time
Compatible with all mods (unless the other mods remove these units, or the WRE, from the game).
Let me know if there are any bugs or issues.
