Not sure what you mean by this.

You need unit cards (and unit information cards) for these units when owned by your Roman faction. Look at this. The tutorial deals with much more than this but what you want is in there.

As for your other questions, I think you need to spend some time browsing the Scriptorium. Good luck.
