I think the general tag must work like the merc tag. Otherwise you couldn't have Hellenic Distinguished Hoplites in the same battle as KH FMs, since they share a model. For that matter in a Massalian game a few weeks ago I modded the KH bodyguards to use the Massalian Hoplite model with beefed up stats, and had them lined up next to each other in battle quite happily.

You need a faction-specific skin for the units as well, but I think that's it. Changing the weapon and animation is going to be the biggest problem.
Not sure why I need skins and animations to make an existing unit recruitable, provided I avoid the duplicate model thing by just giving up on any units which would have duplicate models. AFAICS there aren't any model clashes -- after all, I'm adding these units to the KH roster because the KH don't have anything like them.

I wonder if we're talking at cross-purposes: I'm not making a non-historical mod for release (it would give the EB team conniptions LOL), this is just for me to play. I don't care if the Celto-Hellenic Union's Botroas look exactly like the Aedui/Arverni Botroas.

The resources are there to identify the provinces. There are not related to reforms AFAIK. So yes, you can copy the entry of another unit and replace unit-name and or faction-ownership, and place it in the correct barracks.
That's a relief.

Thanks for the help, I'll get into this later today.
