making UUs for new civs

[metrognome]

alright, so i'm almost done with my Spanish and Viking civs, but i've run into a roadblock in making the UUs (Conquistador and Berzerker). it's not enough just to copy and alter the existing units you wish to "borrow" the images from, correct? you have to alter some art files/folder names. which ones? and what exactly do you have to alter in the INI file? do you have to alter the WAV file names as well?

also, which pre-existing unit should i copy to create the Berzerker? i'm simply looking for visual accuracy here.

thanks for all your help!

You should use the Viking Raider icon that Haverlock made

If your just copying an existing icon, you need to copy it's folder from the 'art/units' folder, paste it, and rename the pasted folder to your new units name. Then replace the old units name with the new one on all the files names.

Open the INI file, and change the spots that have the old units name to the new one. You can also control the way things are shown through the INI file. I made my Guerillero unit look like a Modern Worker, and made it so it's attack INI was the Clear Jungle with a machette ani.
