I want to know how to make new units in the game??? I have absoulutly no idea how to??? Can some please tell me.

Anyone??? I want to now how.

8 minutes is not a very long time to wait before an answer. This is a forum, not a chatroom - answers can take days.

Do you want to do it during the game? Or do you want it as a buildable unit?

well i am use to faster replies i havent been on this site for a awhile... and i want to make units that i can use in the game so i guess change the appearance and stats of a unit then put them into the game... i dont really dont know anything about this:(

Graphically, if you haven't used any of the utilities before, there might be a learning process involved. Maybe I'm just saying that 'cuz I can't do graphics worth a bean :P

To just change units stats and such, the XML changes are pretty simple once you realize how it works in a nutshell. You might also want to keep this (http://civ4wiki.com/wiki/index.php/CIV4UnitInfos) handy. It tells you what all the little tags in the UnitInfos xml file do.

I am stuck... i opened up DDS Converter 2.1 and went to the folder with PakBuilder and all it says below is "circle".
