OK I will preface this by saying I am a total xml/civ modding noob, so it is quite likely I am making some careless mistake in failing to add these unit models. That being said I have tried to follow White Rabbit's guide, and the "basic guide" linked off of his post with no luck over the course of two evenings of over 5 hours messing with them.

My goal is to add all these models to the correct civs as additions to the ethnic diversity mod posted here. The furthest I have mangaged to get is having the button show up in world builder as Greek Crossbowman, but still getting the same old model displayed.

I have the folder downloaded for the greek crossbowman as this: \Assets\Art\Units\GREEK_CROSSBOWMAN with all of the files from the crossbowman_greek in there.

I have the CIV4ArtDefines_Unit as:

One thing I was confused some what on, do I only put the files in crossbowman_greek in the Art/Units/Greek_Crossbowman file, or do I need to copy all the default crossbowman files from the PAK and then add the new files? I tried both ways, but neither worked for me.

change this:
<NIF>Art/Units/GREEK_CROSSBOWMAN/Crossbowman.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Crossbowman/Crossbowman.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/GREEK_CROSSBOWMAN/Crossbowman.nif</SHADERNIF> <----:)
 
Danrell: I notice you tend to use the same base body for many of your units, for example the archer and long bowman are identical except for their weapon and Axeman, swordsman and spear man are likewise made from the same body. I feel this tends to make them look too similar, their should be more of a feel of technological progression through these units. I think trying to diversity the skins and heads of these units could go a long way towards alleviating this. A bit of leather texture here and their replacing the bronze or unit with a different helmet could go a long way to reducing the monotony.
 
Thanks for these units danrell, I like them so much I started learning how to edit the CIV xml files in order to add them :)

As other people who want to use them will have to go through the same steps, I decided to post a mod here which replaces all the standard civs with alternatives which use your units.

If you are iterested in it, get it here

All units are included, so you do not need to download them separately.
