Hi The J, I'm unable to replicate the Pink workers conditions after I downloaded the Official and Unofficial patch of 3.19 which you so kindlysuggested I do.
You were right the game "plays" so much better now. thank you for your help.

Hi, i don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question but I don't know where else to ask it. 
I would like to change the cost of upgradiing a unit to another because of aTech change. I've looked in the Forums but couldn't find anything about this. Where is the Upgrade Cost defined? what file/s?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The upgrade cost is a value, which is based on the difference of the production costs of the two units.
You can change this through a python modification in CvGameUtils, in getUpgradePriceOverride.
You might want to look at the Leonardo's Workshop wonder from tsentom1, which changes the upgrade cost through a building.

I followed this guide and try loading up my mod. I get an error:
"Tag: UNIT_JAPANESE_HORSE_ARCHER in Info Class was in correct
Current XML file is: Civilizations/CIV4civilizationInfos.xml"
What does this mean? and how do I fix this. My UU shows up in the Civilopedia with info and everything, but it doesn't replace the basic horse archer for the Japanese.
IF u need me to show you the code(s), let me know and thanks for your time.

There's probably a typo somewhere in your definition of your UU.
Check again, if it's written correctly, and then check, if you named the unit the same way in the unitInfos.xml.
And take a look, if there's maybe a _ to much somewhere.

What are you trying to do, and What's the error you're getting?
Also when you post code put it inside [code][/code] tags, as it makes it easier to read.

What error exactly?
I guess, you've forgot to copy something (delete your new unit, do it again), or you've used a XML from the wrong civ version (you have to use the UnitInfos.xml and the other ones from BtS).

This tutorial is one of the best I have found.
As The_J says, you should tell us what error messages you are getting, and you'll probably receive some help.
