This might help you:

Add units to the army of Gaivs Sextvs Cotta, by opening the console and entering the following:

create_unit "Gaivssextvs Cotta", "roman infantry legionary cohort i" 3 4 2 1

-> 3 units of Cohors Reformata will spawn in Cotta's army, each will have a single silver chevron, "silver" armour and "bronze" weapons.

Quick explanation of the code:

"Gaivssextvs Cotta" -> Characters name, Gaivs and Sextvs 
have to be joined together. Sextvs has no capital letter.
You could also use a settlements name instead of a characters name.

"roman infantry legionary cohort i" -> The unit label, this can be found
in the "export_units.txt" file. Don't use '_' !!!

3 4 2 1 -> 3 units / 4 chevrons / 2 armourupgrades / 1 weaponsupgrade.

Don't forget to place a "," between the name and the unit label !!!

move_character "Captain Jvlivsappvlivs" 2,48

Explanation of the code:

"Captain Jvlivsappvlivs" -> The characters name with Jvlivs and Appvlivs 
joined together. Appvlivs has no capital letter.

2,48 -> x and y coordinates of a tile on the campaignmap.

ah thank you sir i think i have been missing the comma in my attempts at doing this! this was just what i needd!

[madmatg]

ok so i tried it but it keeps giving me unit not recognized

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

is there something special to be done for ships or ports? or am i just typing the names wrong?
i got the ship name straight from the "type" in desc_unit. and made sure it was a briton ship
any help? i am an idiot!

You need quotes I think:

create_unit Chersonesos "eastern missile thanvare payahdag" 4

Also, I'm not sure you can spawn ships in settlements.

[madmatg]

bovi it is as you say the "" worked but it said cant spawn ship in settlement, does anyone know if there is any name for a cities docks? so i could put that in instead of the city name?
