All the text between the __ marks was added to the descr_strat.txt file, between two other characters in the Julii section.
There were 3 other files I ammended to get the name Ballista to work.
..\data\text\names.txt
..\data\descr_names.txt
..\data\descr_names_lookup.txt
I added {Ballista} Ballista in the names.txt file, just below Balbus;
Then added Ballista in the julii section of descr_names.txt;
Then added Ballista in the descr_names_lookup.txt file, also below Balbus.

I hope that this is of help to you. I know that this is not the strongest character possible, but it should give you something to go on.

Thank you for that, Karma Terrorist.
Now I have learned new things.
But I want to ask you another question: Can I make my general has different skin from another, like Alexander?![]()
Its Possible, I believe, but you'd have to make it a Unique Unit, and then you'd have a unique skin for the General, but I don't know if its possible to merge the 2 together. Prehaps someone of higher knowledge would know a way, but I can't help with the making of a Unit.
I have seen Leonidas of Sparta in the mod "300 Warlords of Sparta", and he has different skin from another generals. I'd love to get one, but I don't know how...
