One I missed when checking - apologies to RJC 

The Gothic foot allowed from 360 CE should really have the same capabilities as the Tervingi/Gothic infantry in the Balkans, etc. list set - they currently are 2018 style.

Indeed.  I'll make a note of it for a future release.  I am happy to leave it as is for now.

Perfectly reasonable - hardly a list breaker

There appears an inconsistency the Visigothic infantry.
360 AD Gothic foot (eastern armies from 360 CE) tribal flexible INFANTRY Average Protected Short Spear - Shoot & Charge..
Same in the Gothic army. 
Tolosan Visigothc  Tribal Close Average Protected Spearmen Devastating charges. 
And then they become Spearmen Average Protected Short Spear Shieldwall, Integral Shooters (Combat Shy). 
Considering the increasing role of cavalry, the transition from flexible Spearmen to devastating charges appears an illogical progression.

I am not sure I would see it as inconsistent: we are talking about 150 years of history here and Goths who migrated from north of the Danube through the Balkans and the Roman Empire, sacked Rome and ended up in Southern France and Northern Spain.

As ever, it is the feel of the army we are trying to get correct, without necessarily focusing too closely on the individual troop types.

From a personal perspective, there are quite a lot of troops that I would like to classify as Charge Only Javelin, Short Spear rather than Devastating Charger, but that would be too big a change to introduce at this stage.

I understand; it seems funny that their infantry increased in ferocity/effectiveness at the same time as their cavalry component increased and they were driven out of northern Italy and forced into the southwest of France by the Merovingians.
