I am sure this has been asked 1,000 times, so forgive me. I have searched these boards for an hour+ to find the answer, but haven't had any luck. To put it simple. if I download someone's unique units, how do I install them/where do I put the files? For example, I downloaded Bakuel's Roman Industrial Unit Pack ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7308 ). Once I have this zip file, what do I do with it? I apologize if this question is in the wrong section. First time poster, and all...
 
Right section to post this so that's good. ;)

Follow my sig to the Tutorial Index and you'll find a few well written tutorials that should help you out.
 
A fairly comprehensive guide is here. A quick and easy way to implement this is to copy the XML from the unit you are replacing and paste it at the end of the .xml file you are modifying (but not after the file's closing tags).

The animations refer to either .nif or .kfm files. So what you would do for a unit that uses the Rifleman animations for example, is copy the .kfm and .nif files from the Rifleman folder to the unit's folder - if the unit didn't already come with the .kfm and .nif files that it needs. Don't overwrite anything.

The rest, I should hope, is in the tutorial.
