Like K.O himself said "Roman army wasn't know for its cavalry, but they nevertheless had cavalry"

Just replace "cavalry" with infantry and Romans with Mongols.

They don't need to be extraordinary, but it feels kinda clunky when BK Tien has the same footmen with the same descriptions as vanilla Tien.

Also, if i remember correctly, Mongols had some special means of mountain survival(they drank the blood of their horses or something like that), so Mountain Survival could also fit the Barbarian units of BK Tien.
