I have no idea how to add units to this game.

Jesus christ, take a few years off, and you forget everything!

COuld someone please point me to (that is, provide a link to) a well written conscise & correct guide on how to add a unit? Its the ROman middleage heavy cavalry that some guy did that i want to add to the game, if that matters at all.

Could someone PLEASE tell me the answer, even if its painfully obvious? I'm quite obtuse and in observant like that.

Try this tutorial... it's really for Vanilla or Warlords though... BtS has a better way to do it... but if you know how to do it for Vanilla, it's not that hard to figure out how to add flavor units in BtS.

If you just want to add a new graphic JUST for the Romans, and you have BtS, all you need to do is add the ART.xml entries from the tutorial above, and go into the Civilzations XML folder and alter the UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml (you can even make a new Roman-Specific one if you want... if you do this, make sure to assign the new ArtStyleType to the Romans in the CivilizationInfos.xml). If you just add a flavor unit in BtS, you don't need to mess with the UnitInfos.xml at all.
