Hey all I've recent decided to try modding Civ V over the past two weeks using kael's guide and the forum when I've gotten stuck. I've been trying to create a Scotland Civ for my first mod building in stages getting one element at a time working before starting the next so far I've managed to create a basic civ, a leader, trait and Icons with little to no trouble.

For reasons I can't seem to understand i'm having troubles adding a new unit to my civ. It seems to load the files ok (at least the log files seem to say nothing) but the new unit does'nt appear and neither does the standerd unit (in this case the longswords man). I've been going over the xml for what seems like ages and I can't seem to find any fault with it! I've even been referencing the xml files for the existing units but to no avail.

Maybe I just need another pair of eyes to see what is going wrong or maybe I'm missing something fundamental?

Here are is the civ, unit and game text files:

main civ file:

You forgot to put the promotion inside a <Row> element. Forgot that plenty of times when starting myself. Good luck with your modding! :)
