Operation Enduring Freedom

I'd really like to do a mod of this, but I can't seem to crack CIV IV's modding procedures. I figured out CIV III and was able to make a few scenarios (listed on my signature), but CIV IV baffles me. Anybody have some experience that's willing to work with me? I'm not trying to palm off work on anyone, I just want some technical expertise, I'll do the skullduggery. I've read some of the tutorials and can add units, leaderheads, names and basic stuff like that. What I can't do is make those units specific to certain civs. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I can't do is make those units specific to certain civs.

That means you want to add/edit Unique Units; did you check about that as well?

I did look around for that. I couldn't find exactly what I needed or at least couldn't understand it when I found it.

Basically, you just need to make the new unit's unitclass the same as the unit that you are replacing it with. You don't need to edit civ4unitclassinfos.xml, just add a tag in Civilizationinfos.xml. Try copying and pasting another unique unit's tag and change it to your unit's info.
If this too confusing just paste your xml into a spoiler so others can have a look and give you more detailed info.

Let me give that a shot and tell you how it turns out.
