Creating flavor units for various civs

[hotcoffeedude]

I noticed in the Revolution mod (that comes with the game) that the American rifle units are replaced by a "minuteman" looking unit (basically a blue tri-hat version of the English Redcoat).

I was thinking it would be great to replace the generic American rifle unit in the normal game with this unit. Does anyone know if it's even possible to flavor generic units for a particular civ? Or would you have to create a UU for the civ and give it generic stats?

I think this would be the way to do it.

I tried making a UU for Mali (to darken them up a bit) It can be done with xml editing and a paint prgram of some sort. Since the blue coats are already done in game you could just use those graphics and then you'd have to just do some xml editing.
