You should be able to convert a civ v unit to civ vi using both tutorials, but if you have trouble, feel free to ask for help.
And soon I will ask you things about LUA again, mate. Just had trouble the last weeks with RL, that’s why I was not that active the last weeks.

Thanks for creating this @ShiroToraRyu.

Personally I think that using Blender 2.49 for correcting Vertex Weight problems is not the best way. I generally use FGXViewer to test the .fgx animations against my rigged .fgx model then adjust in Blender 2.78 using Weight Paint mode or by editing Vertex Groups directly. Re-exporting to .cn6 and then re-testing in FGXViewer is quick. To load .fgx animations into FGXViewer you can just drag and drop the animation .fgx files into it.

Thanks Deliverator

I will add your way for correcting vertex weights to the tutorial soon. Thanks, i didnt know your way with FGX Viewer before.

EDIT : Deliverator's way to correct vertex weights added now. i just pasted his words for the vertex weights correction step.
