You of course made backups of all your files hence avoiding the need to re-install the game. Start over again then follow these instructions:

1) add in one unit
2) start the game to make sure it loads and the unit is available
3) go to 1, and never ever ever skip step 2

i feel i should re-phrase it, as i sounded like a child in my post, my apologies i was tired.

My whole problem is, been having it today too, i basically start out with "Caesarian_legion.cas" in Imperial rome pack 2.0 KLA.

i go to my export unit strat. go down to roman hastati type and change it to something like roman_cohort or whatever i want it to be.

Type roman cohort

Dictionary roman_cohort

ETC ETC

i do the export units/descr_model_battle and all them txt files perfectly.
i tried again this morning, and i ACTUALLY got past the load screen -.- but i got into custom battle...and heres the funny thing, it made NO difference, the units still had the same Vanilla hastati Texture, and in battle it was still default skin, i mean WTF is that all about.

i think my problem might be the fact that i modify over the vanilla units and change the name ? or do i have to basically like make a new unit in the Export_Descr_unit file.txt ?

anyways i use rome 1.5

specs. P4 2.6
geforce 7600 GT
ram 1gb

ETC ETC

if anyone has anything to help me i will be GREATLY 100%'LY GREATFUL. thanks

P/s squid, i add in one unit it shows as the default Vanilla, in battle too like i said up there. i dont understand your point 3, but i think my above post will help you understand a little better if you see this thread again, thanks again for reading all, and i will respectiveley be waiting for your replies

What`s that? The EDU(export_descr_unit)? Why would you want to change its title? If you change that you need to edit a heck of alot of other files. From EDB to descr_strat and the text files for the voices.
If you just want to change how the unit looks in battles you only need to edit the DMB(desc_model_battle). I presume kla`s unit uses the same weapons as the original, vanilla model. If it`s true, you only need to edit the DMB and change the textures and model.
