Adding Catalan Almughavars

[King David]

Catalan Almughavars, who fought with a long spear, several javelins, and a big sword, but no shield. Very fierce.

I attempted to replace the kern with these bad boys and it worked but in the battle screen they looked pretty bad. Could you give me a step by step on how to add a new unit or maybe replace or rename one that is already there. The following are units that i would like to add.

Spanish Caballeros from Aragon (These are light calvary knights)

Almughavars from castile

Catallan Crossbows

All these are hystoricaly acurate altho my spelling is not... I would apreciate some help with this as I am fast learning how to mod. Would like to share it with the TW fans.

Almughavars are in the game already
they don't throw spears though.
Well the do but without animation
I'll probably fix it.
You can addnew units no problem
download some and see.
I'll put theother two in the mod we are
working on.
Almughavars can be found in the LtOpHelm
folder.thats why they don't throw spears.

i juz started to mod, but on the historical aspect i am afraid i am not too good.

however i modded this particular almughavar which supposedly i heard is only avaliable in an inn as a merc only unit in aragon.

(the good thing is that i "think" its is a full unit in game already with all the movement/graphics etc already so if u are striving to create almughavar u can modify on that full set.)

it is available in game juz that u ain't going to see it appearing much i think coz juz simply merc-only units are juz pretty rare as it is.

anyway i made alan merc, tucropoles and almughavars as area specific buildables needing an inn and a basic structure except for almughavars coz i think its actually a very strong and versatile unit with good honor=8 so it requires an inn and spearmaker2 and avaliable in castile/coroba/granada/toulouse/aragon/plus the two italian islands in early.

Smap

so how can it be a full set?
