I am trying to figure something out, so if someone who doesn't have my submod downloaded could check their 'Hanatim Kushim to see if the description works I would appreciate it. I can't see mine, and as far as I can tell the problem lies with the connection between the unit itself and the description, but it is a unit which I didn't run across in-game until I had already edited the text so I can't be sure if it is something I did or something that was already there . . .
Instead of my having to reinstall and see, could someone just tell me if they can see the description (which should roughly correspond to the one in spoilers below)?
{arabian_infantry_ethiopian_spearmen} 'Hanatim Kushim (Ethiopian Light Spearmen)
{arabian_infantry_ethiopian_spearmen_descr}
Hardy\n\nEven though archery and skirmishing is the mainstay method of war in Ethiopia, close combat also plays an important part, in which spearmen are used. These men are equipped with spears, shields and helmets, the quality of which might change depending who is levying these troops, whether it be a native king of the many small mountain kingdoms or a Sabaean general recruiting troops for a campaign. These spearmen can be expected to do their job well as light line infantry, but their lack of armor means they will have problems facing heavier equipped infantry and might be at a disadvantage against missile troops firing from an angle not covered by their shields.\n\ Historically, ancient Ethiopia (encompassing modern day Eritrea and northern Ethiopia) was at this time made up of many smaller kingdoms that waged wars against each other, but also against any foreign invaders, like the Nubians, Hellenes, and Sabaeans. There were basically three main regions in ancient Ethiopia; the coastal lowlands along the Erythrean Sea, the interior plains, and the mountains separating them. The coastal lowlands seem to have been the most prosperous, and were often raided by the mountain kingdoms. Most evidence indicates that the Ethiopians living along the Erythrean Sea were the most urbanized, and also the most influenced by foreigners who established colonies and trade posts along the coast, like the Hellenes and Sabaeans. When it came to the latter they also adopted their religious practices, which was a legacy of the earlier Sabaean rule in Ethiopia, or D’mt as it was also called, although to which extent Ethiopia was ruled or if it was ruled at all by Sab’yn is a matter of debate. There are also evidences of Judaism being prevalent in ancient Ethiopia due to archaeological findings of temples and altar stones from 500 BC on, resembling ancient Jewish temples and sacrificial altars from 800-600 BC.\n\nEthiopian warfare at this time seems to have been similar to that of their Nubian neighbours, but there were regional variations in arms and armor when it came to materials used. The dominant type was skirmishers armed with either javelins or bows as well as clubs for close combat, sometimes on horseback. Spearmen were also used, and the coastal peoples also fielded small but elite contingents of swordsmen, either influenced or equipped by foreigners, often serving as bodyguards for kings or chieftains.

Many thanks.
