Problem with adding units

Hey y'all. I had a personal mod made up for the old version of AND - a few silly civs mostly with custom units. I tried porting it over to the latest version of AND2, and it mostly works, with one flaw. I can't attack with any of my custom units.

The art works fine, they build fine, they defend fine. They're not set to defend only in the XML files, and the usual "attack" command works fine with the combat breakdown - except when I actually click to attack, nothing happens. It's the damndest thing. I also compared one of my unit's entries in the unit info xML with a known working one, and they seem pretty much the same. Only differences are the names and costs and such.

Is there some extra unit registration that I have to do in the new order, or what?

EDIT: added the xml data for one of them. it's a straight copy of the Praetorian with a few numerical tweaks.

I don't think it depends on XML but I don't know what might cause this problem. You can try the opposite and import a unit from the current mod to your (old version) and see if it works. If it does, it's definetely not XML.
 
For what it's worth, I don't think it is the XML - I was more wondering if something had changed on the backend. Is there more to adding units in AND2 than the usual?

No, I don't think so. But it might depend on how old your previous version of Rand was. Now that I think about it, it might depend on graphics: fpk files have been rearranged so your XML might point to a not existing graphic path. I suggest you check that.
 
I'll check it, but I doubt it -everything works fine except the attacking. Also the version of RAND I was using was old as balls - 2010, 2011?
 
I think your problem is you have <iCombatLimit/> at line 128 of your XML (about 2/3rds of the way down). I did a quick and dirty module based on your XML and I saw that the Shadow Sword had Maximum 0% damage to enemy on attack. This would be why you couldn't attack. A tag with no value is treated as 0, and generally, any tag that starts with the letter i is looking for a numerical value.

Regular units have <iCombatLimit>100</iCombatLimit>. This allows them to deal lethal damage to enemy units on the attack. Siege units have a lower number than 100. This prevents them from actually killing enemy units.
