1. Instead of calling Empire footmen 'infantry' call them legionaries (legionary, trained legionary, veteran legionary, etc) with the final level taking the name Palatinae Guard.
It bothered me that only the last tier of unit was called 'legionary' because technically all the infantrymen are legionaries. And frankly, the lower-leveled units are more fitting of the title. The 'legionaries' currently are wearing the same armor most lords do and are far too pretty if you ask me. Naming them after palace guards would be more appropriate.
2. Get rid of the current archer Palatinae Guard and the unit preceding it. Replace it with a tier-4 mounted archer that upgrades into the existing mounted archer.
This is mostly a gripe about names, but I also don't see why the Empire need so many different ranged options. X-bows and mounter archers are already extremely versatile, having a foot-bow line just seem redundant.
Alternatively just rename the Palatinae Guard to Bow Sergeant or something.
EDIT: Its extra weird they designated the elite bow infantry as Palatinae considering in real life they were elite cavalry/bodyguards.
