Black peasant unit card and Unit name not changing?

[Auggie]

So I decided to do a little modding of the vanilla RTW files recently and two problems emerged. So I tried to give macedon some armored hoplites and tried to change the name of the unit to hypaspists. However the unit card was not that of the armored hoplites, but rather that of a black clothed peasant. Not only that but the name remained unchanged. This stayed the same for all the other units I gave to other factions. Any ideas?
