I just started working on this mod a few days ago using Toussaint's template and I'm having difficulty with the units and buildings. The art, icons and text are working fine and I can see them in the leader select screen perfectly. However, I am unable to launch the game. I'm sure it has something to do with my unit.artdef, because I have no idea what I am doing there. Any help would be super appreciated.

Could you please provide the database.log file which you will find in in the folder documents/my games/sid meier's civilization VI/Logs? After you launch the game with the mod enabled and it crashes, just open the database.log file and tell us what it says inside. Artdefs files will most certainly not cause you're game to crash, they're just for cosmetics, so you will probably have some error in your code.

So, you've got quite a few errors.
ERROR: no such table: Types
[842036.563] [Configuration]: In Query - insert into Types('Type', 'Kind') values (?, ?);
This just means that the game is trying to update the database but it cannot find any table called 'Types'. Most likely that's because you're trying to load the file into front-end where it does not need to be loaded.
ERROR: Invalid Reference on Buildings.TraitType - "TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_BUILDING_WAKANDAN_RESEARCH_FACILITY" does not exist in Traits
These types of errors usually occur because you forgot to link the actual trait with the type (look at the database and look for the table called types. there you will see a types and kind, you need to make sure that you're telling the game that the buildingtrait is a type kind= trait). For that I would recommend you look at other mods that have used XML as a basis and look at exactly what they have done. Unfortunately I've made the experience that the template doesn't work too well if you're just starting out.

<BuildingPrereqs> is the correct name of the table.
And one of your SQL files has a fatal syntax error: could be just about anything, but often people have ";" when they need "," (or the other way around) or they omit a comma seperator between column-datas.

You were right, I was missing a semicolon in the game defines. That seemed to fix all my problems.
I am still having trouble figuring out how to edit the unit.artdef for my unique unit. I’m trying to borrow the existing model from the spearman unit for my unique unit, but I don’t know how to do that
