If you created a new unit that uses a new dictionary (or gave an existing unit a new dictionary entry), then you will need to edit both export_units.txt and the enums file.
This is alot easier then it looks (and a feature I have personally found a great time saver), just select the unit like normal, make sure the dictionary entry on the 'Unit Details' tab is set to what you want (eg. red_warband), then go to the '[Enums]' tab, open export_units.txt, and hit 'Generate Names'. This will automatically create the dictionary entries for you, edit them as you see fit, then save your export_units.txt ('Save Descr'). Thats the dictionary entries taken care of, now you just need to link it all together (thats the purpose of the enums file). Again, real easy, press 'Build Enums' and the enum file will be generated, automatically, from the export_units.txt file currently open!
Ok, that was the indepth guide, in summary....
Select unit
Open Descr (export_units.txt)
Generate Names
Edit dictionary/description entries
Save Descr
Build Enums
You don't need to put anything in the dictionary entries, but it will be hard to tell if it worked if you don't. For testing I normally just put the name in (first dictionary entry), takes me 10-15 seconds to do a unit. I love it when buttons do all the work for you
