Some great unit sets there now I really have to look into how to add them (this is how you got me started with modding Civ4 as well )

These look very nice, but they are extremely historically inaccurate, like a 15th century knight for "ancient French" units.
Here are some examples of Japanese armor of 200AD-600AD

If you are interested I can post some more pictures of ancient Japanese armor and swords.

They are 'antient' only comparing with 'modern' units - most of them are in fact medieval. So i think only Archer and Spearman can be historicaly assigned to period you mention. And Swordsman, Composite Bowman and Horseman - to Nara or Heian period. And I forget about Chariot (both in unitlist and in japanese history).

But forgetting about research and comparing only power Spearman can be comared with Yari Ashigaru, Horseman - with Light Cavalry and so on. (And so they have corresponding outfits) This way we can find here around 70% of land units of Sengoku period (and around 90% of units of Onin war). I think it is a good use for them. Maybe when I finally complete my big map of Japan, I will try to make a large conversion mod.

The only great inaccurance i found is in placing different mons on breastplate and on sashimono. Swordsman have mon of Kuroda (or Kiso - I can't tell for sure) on breastplate and a mon of Chosokabe on sashimono.

Allow me just to say that these units have helped me greatly. Thank you very much, danrell!

I tried using the Ninja but it doesn't work, it crashes when he appears in-game.
Even though I made sure to set VFS=True to all files and get the correct file-relations between the unit and the fxsxml file, it still doesn't work.

 

[Shirotora Kenshin]

For me the ninja works perfect. You could upload your XML and fxsxml so people can help you ...
