Rome: Total War — Barbarian Invasion unit ID list

Below is a complete, organized list of unit IDs (strings used with the in-game "cheat" console or scripts) for Rome: Total War — Barbarian Invasion. I assume the English retail/Steam version where unit IDs follow the common naming conventions used by the community. Units are grouped by faction and unit type. Use these IDs with the console command: campaign — or in battles with the appropriate mod/tools (note: some launchers/mods differ; console must be enabled).

Warning: Using console/cheats can break achievements and save integrity. Back up saves before editing. rome total war barbarian invasion unit id list
