Sorry for the late reply, I am quite busy these days. Here is a complete tutorial:

To summarize it, first go to the 58BC folder, open the export_descr_unit file to look for the legion that you want to copy. Each legion has an entry like this:

type             KA legio VIII
dictionary       tft_caesar_legio_VIII
category         infantry
class            heavy
voice_type       Heavy_1
soldier          KA_roman_legionary, 25, 0, 1.0
officer          candelarius_centurion
officer          legio_VIII_VI_standard
mount_effect     horse -1, camel -1,
attributes       sea_faring,hide_forest,can_sap,very_hardy
formation        1, 2, 2, 3, 5,square
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri         6, 2, pilum, 25, 2, thrown, simple, piercing, spear, 20 , 1
stat_pri_attr    prec,thrown ;,thrown ap
stat_sec         6, 2, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, sword, 0 , 0.3
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  10, 8, 9, metal
stat_sec_armour  0, 1, flesh
stat_heat        4
stat_ground      0, -1, -1, 0
stat_mental      20, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 620, 380, 104, 112, 750
ownership        romans_scipii

This line:

soldier KA_roman_legionary

will give you the clue to the model and texture associated to the unit, that you can find in descr_model_battle:

type				KA_roman_legionary
skeleton			fs_javelinman, fs_s1_gladius
indiv_range			40
texture				romans_brutii, 58bc/data/58_extras/textures/caesar_legionary.tga
texture				romans_scipii, 58bc/data/58_extras/textures/romani_legionary.tga
texture				romans_julii, 58bc/data/58_extras/textures/spqr_legionary2.tga
texture				merc, 58bc/data/58_extras/textures/KA_cohors_evocati.tga
model_flexi_m			58bc/data/58_extras/models_unit/romani_legionary.cas, 15
model_flexi_m			58bc/data/58_extras/models_unit/romani_legionary.cas, 30
model_flexi_m			58bc/data/58_extras/models_unit/romani_legionary.cas, 40
model_flexi			58bc/data/58_extras/models_unit/romani_legionary.cas, max
model_sprite		romans_scipii, 60.0, 58bc/data/RTR/sprites/rome_legionary_cohort_i_sprite.spr
model_sprite		romans_brutii, 60.0, 58bc/data/RTR/sprites/rome_legionary_cohort_i_sprite.spr
model_sprite		romans_julii, 60.0, 58bc/data/RTR/sprites/rome_legionary_cohort_i_sprite.spr
model_sprite		60.0, 58bc/data/RTR/sprites/aor_spain_scutarii_sprite.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

To follow with the example, the texture of the legion can be found here:

texture romans_scipii, 58bc/data/58_extras/textures/romani_legionary.tga

As you can see, in the EDU file the ownership of the unit is romans_scipii, so this is the texture that we are looking for. You will also need the model, that is common to all the factions' textures and the sprites.

Repeat the process with the two officers, centurion and standard.

When you have the files, follow the guide that I have linked and you will be able to add the units to your mod. Hopefully.
