XML/Art/CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml

Create a new UnitArtInfo block, based on the default type of its unit,
unless this is the unique version of the unit, in that case use its
version instead (to check which unit is a unique unit, look them up
in CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml).
Change the Type, NIF, KFM and SHADERNIF blocks within the copy.

XML/Units/CIV4UnitInfos.xml

If you add a new type of unit and not just a different graphical representation,
you need to create a new UnitInfo block, based on the default type of its unit
class (or the unique unit type if it is the unique unit of the civilization you
add it to).
Change the EarlyArtDefineTag blocks - and the Type block if it is NOT the
unique unit.

If you only want to change the graphics of a unit but not its stats, this file
does not need to be changed at all.

XML/Civilizations/CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml

Create a new UnitArtStyleTypeInfo block, based on the block which is used by the civilization
you want to add the units to. You can look up the type in CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml (see below,
as you will have to change it, after having created your new style type).

For each unit you set up a UnitArtInfo (in CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml), you need to either change
the existing StyleUnit block (if there is one) or add a new one (always for new units).
Leave all unit styles for which you did not create new art unchanged (i.e. do not remove them).

Make sure the unit you add is not a unique unit for the civ you want to add it to, the info is
stored in CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml. If it is, use the name of the unique unit instead of the
generic one.
