This may be my own opinion & you may not agree but i reckon the burgidians should stick to their "wild" barbarian roots mainly with some disciplined civilised troops
What do you think?
Also will they be mainly a infantry faction?

The Burgundi should certainly keep some of their germanic ways. I'd say they should be a bit less advanced version of the Franks. Less armor, but more brutal warriors. Maybe some sort of semi-berserker? Controlable, but still fighting like beast. I think focus should be reasonable infantry with good light/medium cavalry.

The Burgundians should keep Germanic ways with a bit of Roman ways. Berserkers should be kept, but not with their name as "Lombard Berserkers" but as Burgundian Berserkers and with different appearance, but with the same stats as the Lombard Berserkers. Also we should change the name of the Chosen Axeman into simply Axemen because I've noticed that some factions in BI have chosen Axemen, but no simple Axemen. There can't be an elite type of a unit if there isn't a common type of that unit. So we will add simple axeman to this faction, or we will change the Chosen Axemen's name into simply Axemen, but we won't change their stats.

Nah, berserkers should be kept, they are the military symbol of the barbarian tribes, although they shouldn't be as strong as their Norse counter-parts. But if we plan on making the Burgundians semi-civilized then we can remove them along with Golden bands and we will replace them with some "civilized" units.

I agree with GeneralKickAss for the units. We don't know much about the Burgundians, so we should keep that unit roster including Chosen Archers, but i don't think that the Burgundians had Ballistae and Onagers although they were influenced by the romans. Anyway to balance the factions i think we should give them the Onagers, but not the Ballistae.

It would be more accurate if they didn't have ballistas. I think so because ballistas are more complicated than Onagers, thus harder to build for ignorant semi-barbarians. But if you guys see a good reason for adding them then add them, I'm not stopping you.

Like the Roster, think its good
Also I agree with GKA's flag idea (down-toned version of flag)
