Question about adding units

[Cavalry 1337]

I apologize for posting this here, but I thought it would be more reasonable that this topic stands here than the Scenario section.

How do you add a unit permanently into the game? Meaning everytime someone plays the game, they will end up having a chance of obtaining it from an advance, just like the default units that come with the game.

Also, how do you change the colour of that shield thing (that has the HP beside the monster)? For example, some people added a US pattern on their shield that is held beside the units.
How?

Question 1: Edit the rules text (and pictures) for the general civ file, not a specific scenario file (remember to save the originals first). This should be the file that your regular games are saved in.

Question 2: Flags must be drawn as a part of the unit picture and the shield placed strategetically behind it so that the picture covers it, except for the hitpoint bar. It is possible to change the colour of civs (I've played such scenarios), but that requires some work and you'll need to talk to scenario creators about that.
