Well it was a dumb on my part for sure.
I was getting frustrated so I started from over from scratch. Then it hit me half way through.
I had your original Famous group in the root of the game and in my game mod folder so they worked fine being identical.
Where everything went south was when I added the Native Amazon file. Everything appeared to be in the right place.
But, as you recall, if I tried to load AmazonsCiv_CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml everything would crash. Remove it and the game would run but without the units.
Staring at the file for all this time failed to reveal an error.
Then something hit me about Buttons messing up everything so I went back and looked at the AmazonsCiv_CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml file.
Again everything look as it should.
Then !
In My Mods the Famous People files had the Modules/Female Modern Soldiers/Custom Units/Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/ and Modules/Female Modern Soldiers/Custom Units/Art/Units/ for example which pointed to those units fine by over riding the ones in the root folder. That's why they worked fine. But I didn't have the Native Amazons in My Mods so that direction wouldn't work.
So what I had for them was Modules/Native Amazons/Custom Units/Art/Units/ as the same direction. WRONG!!!!!! They were not there!
I realized it should have been Modules/Custom Civilizations/Amazon_Civilization/Assets/Modules/Native Amazons/Custom Units/Art/Units/ and BANG, everything worked.
So, not having Native Amazons folder in My Mods, the word Modules appearing twice in the direction line, one set of units working and the others not, just added to the confusion.
Great work skinning, they look fantastic. The Long Swords look a little paler to their counterparts but still scary if you ever met one.
Many thanks to you and Kathy for spending so much time helping me work through this. You guys are great and proud to call friends.
