    I know that, I mean't where are the text files? I've had plenty of experience with Medieval total war to have some sort of a clue what I'm doing when I edit units I just need to know where the text files are, I can probably figure it out from there

    why would I need to go the the descr_model_battle.txt file to make a carthaginian unit roman? that's just skeleton data isn't it?

    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.

    so what do I need to edit in the file to put the Phoeni Infantry/Libyan Spearmen and the Elephants in roman texture?

    Well youd have to first create the roman texture with photoshop.

    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.
