I've had the following
Yet when testing in a game I could still build both a crossbowman and a longbowman unit. It turns out that I'd forgotten you need to add a TraitType to the unit definition. If you just copy the normal unit definition from say the crossbowman and change the name of the unit and it's stats it won't work properly.
The TraitType needs to be defined as part of your Civilization. In my case in my UK_Civilizations.xml file
Thought this might help any new modders trying to figure this out
Code:
<UnitReplaces>
<Row CivUniqueUnitType="UNIT_UKLONGBOWMAN" ReplacesUnitType="UNIT_CROSSBOWMAN"/>
