No - it also controls the textures and sprites used for each model. If you make a unit recruitable for another faction, they should have their own texture and sprite entries for that faction, otherwise you either end up with an error, or a default texture is used which might not be one you want.
The text files you need to edit are typically in your RTW\Data folder.

If you dont mind that the units use the carthaginian texture (so they look exactly like the carthaginian unit) then you can just copy the carthaginian entry and change the faction to 'romans_julii, romans brutii, romans_scipii, romans_senate'.
If you search around the internet im sure you could somehwere to dload a roman phalanx unit with a skin and unit card and everything already made.
couldn't I just add that line after carthage?Originally Posted by shifty157
I'm trying to edit an infantry unit, not make a completley different one
