I do a search on greek_amazons, since that is the soldier name of the unit I am copying from. For a full, line-by-line description of the contents of this file look here. Now we go to the next file, RTW\\Data\\Descr_Model_Battle.txt, where we will give our unit a model and skin.

I also tweak the formation, weapon, armour, morale, and recruitment costs a bit. I remove the “Mount” and “Mount Effects” lines, and also change some of the unit’s Attributes to reflect that they are on foot rather than mounted. This line will identify the unit in the Descr_Model_Battle.txt file. Then I change the name in the soldier field, since this is best to be unique (it does not have to be if you are using the exact same models, texture, skeletons, and sprites as the original unit – see Descr_Model_Battle below). Next I will change the category from cavalry to infantry since my new unit will ground-pounders. Just so you know, the part after the semicolon in the dictionary line is ignored by the game, it only there for us humans to more easily identify the unit. Note that the first line does not have spaces between words, and the second does. These names identify the unit in many of the other game’s text files, so they are important. First I will change the name under type and dictionary, as these must be unique for every unit.

For the purposes of this tutorial I will be creating a unit of elite amazon foot archers, whom I will call Agema Amazon Archers.
