Hi, I am a newbie in modding. I tried to add the elephant units to byzantium, however i encounter the following problems when i start the game.

01:33:39.312 [script.err] [error] Script Error in test/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 11, column 1
Unknown identifier when new type expected.
01:33:39.312 [data.invalid] [error] DATABASE_TABLE error found : error reading record from file test/data/export_descr_unit.txt.

This is what i add in the export_descr_unit.txt
type Elephants
dictionary Elephants ; Elephants
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type Heavy
banner faction main_cavalry
banner holy crusade_cavalry
"soldier Elephant_Crew, 18, 6, 1"
mount elephant
"mount_effect horse +4, camel +2"
"attributes sea_faring, hardy, can_withdraw, can_run_amok, frighten_foot, frighten_mounted, gunpowder_unit"
"formation 7, 11, 13,16, 2, square"
"stat_health 1, 6"
"stat_pri 16, 3, arquebus_bullet, 120, 40, missile, missile_gunpowder, piercing, none, musket_shot_set, 25, 1"

"stat_cost 1, 2090, 0, 400, 400, 2090, 1, 520"
armour_ug_levels 2
armour_ug_models Elephant_Crew
"ownership timurids, byzantium"
"era 1 timurids, byzantium"
"era 2 timurids, byzantium"
";unit_info 10, 16, 12"

I also add the ownership in another file, export_descr_buildings.
I cannot find the folder (units) or battle models in my data folder. Why my game cannot even start when i changed the ownship?

i added elephants aswell. just find the elephants merc and/or the elephants rocketers merc (those that have the 'mercenary_unit' option), then just add byzantium to ownership.
