Hmmh, I have the original (European Wars). But not the XP.

Is there such a free tool somewhere?

A keyboard. I have to look if this is present...
Hitting 254 times!?! Lot of work, like it seems.

Paint Shop Pro is present.

SBB? Well here I miss something. What is SBB and where I get it/this special version? Actualy I didn't look closer for creating Multiunits. This was my first look here and immediately I saw this great Cossacks unit. So I guess SBB is your(?) tool for creating Multi units?

If this will work with Paint Shop Pro, I could do this by myself, i hope. But actualy I can't, because I'm working on gfx for the Civ2 Colonize 4.0 scenario by John Ellis. If this is done, then I will look closer.
@Illustrious: I think you are absolutely right. As far I know, every european hussar looked like the russian. And I'm glad, to see there is a possibility making excelent looking european units from the renissance aera up to napoleonic wars by converting these "Cossacks" units.
