Ehmm... There are a lot of tutorials on TWC and the one describing the process of adding a new unit to the game is the easiest indeed.
Anyway, I'm too lazy to write such a tutorial again, so here are all required changes, all required files in correct places, in the other words, ALL Just copy/paste and you'll get them in your campaign. However, first you must go to THS\data\world\maps\base and THS\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign and manually delete files named "map.rwm" if exist. And make sure you have installed my sprites fix! (attached to first post). Enjoy!

Works like a charm, thanks!
Forgot to delete that map file though.. What does it do?

Lanjane, if you're goin to create a patch for this mod, make sure you've red all the precedent messages! Anyway, I believe you should wait other 2-3 days so that other problems/suggestions come out!

EDIT - Oh-oh...talking about problems...I get a CTD playing as Macedon. The year is the 290. When I end the turn every factions' turn passes (I believe even the rebels' one) and then the game crashes without giving me any message! (should I upload the save?)

I've created a new unit for this mod. The initial idea was to change massalian swordsmen, because they are too weak for tier III infantry. Well, my unit is something like helleno-barbaric swordsmen with greek armor, and barbarian shield and sword.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

UI's and sprite are included. However UI card probably need to be toned down a bit to fit other massalian units.

Do you mind if I suggest this unit to DimeBagHo for inclusion in XGM? It'd make a great AOR/mercenary unit for the Massilia region in that mod.

Check the bottom part of the OP

Every time you start/load a campaign, the game generates a file map.rwm which contains information about hidden resources, mercenary pools, etc. So it is recommended to delete such a file if you make any changes in faction recruitment.

Cinuz
Sure, I'll wait for more suggestions. You can help with a patch too.

Spartan198
Of course you may use them if you wish Let me know if you will need new UI cards (in case of re-skinning), I'll re-render them.

Megaupload seems to be a buggy file hosting, so I'll attach sprites fix to my post.

Note: The file is exactly the same as the one linked in the bottom of first post.

Many Thanks !
i'm loving this mod.

+Rep

Edit:

haha i don't wanna be an annoying person but now the unit card and the skin for Epirus/Hoplites are gone.
i can still play the game but on the unit card stands a peasant with grey outfit.
and when i play them in-game they have the macedonian colours. (black/orange)

Sure! Let me know if you got any idea for a patch and if I can do anything to help you!

I wonder what do hoplites do there, because Epirus haven't them in its roster. Perhaps comrade_general forgot to delete them from a starting Epirote city. Thanks for the report!
I'm sure there won't be any further problems with that hoplites except missing UI's

Allright thanks for telling me that.

[Lanjane]

A new unit for Epirus, Italic Skirmishers. They are very effective light infantry, and can harass enemy with javelins and then join a battle line as light spearmen. Let the Epirus rock!

Is Carthage's rooster changed?

[Achea]

Nope.

[Lanjane]

Not yet, but it can be improved with your help Just tell what units to add them.

[Achea]

Wide range of mercenary units available from shipwright (spanish infantry, samnites, numidians, barbarian infantry and cavalry) and perhaps something along the lines of "Liby-Phoenicien Infantry" (more or less on par with spanish mercs) and "Liby-Phoenicien Heavy Infantry" (more or less on par with Thoriakati) would be (IMO) best case scenario. Perhaps slightly altered aesthetics for Poeni Infantry and Libyan Spearmen would help as well.

LP Infantry-

Before we get carried away, these are NOT mine, and I take NO credit for them. These are theroretical reskins taken from screenshots from Andalus's (unfortunately dead) Additional Unit Pack (http://rtw.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/f...,0,0,10&st=350).

[Lanjane]

Thanks, I'll take a look at them tomorrow.

[debux]

I hope it's not Andalus who is dead...

I was playing vanilla today (to remeber the vanilla skins and all that) and I thought that maybe it could look something like this:
Barracks: Militia
Militia Barracks: Iberian Inf, Lybian Spearmen (+ above)
City Barracks: Scutarii (make them Carthage whitish), Liby-Poeni Pikemen (the original poeni infantry) (+ above)
Army Barracks: Liby-Poeni Infantry (kind of the original poeni inf, with slight modifications on shield and armour), Sacred Band (maybe make them spearmen, so that they don't become the inf of the line) (+ above)

How's that? That way Carthage doesn't depend solely on a phalanx infantry line (what happens with the Sacred Band on vanilla), using sword infantry and relying even more on their strong Cavalry Branch (which I'd also like to mod)

Sincerely, I'd looooove to do it myself. Just gotta get out of school (15.12)

Oh, and great find Achea, I find that thing of recruiting mecs on the shipwright great (although I wonder who would ever use barbarian warbands), just coincides with the Army Barracks, which (would) offer mid-range units

[Achea]

I hope it's not Andalus who is dead...

I meant the pack was dead, sorry. And I forgot to mention that the LP Infantry and their heavy counterparts would be equipped with swords, not pikes. That leaves room on the roster for the Poeni Infantry and Libyan Spearmen. So many phalanxes would be redundant.
