You need to add the proper UI cards in the appropriate folders.

data/UI/unit_info/faction-name/unit_dictionary_tag_info.tga (large UI card)
data/UI/units/faction-name/#unit_dictionary_tag.tga (small UI card)

The dictionary tag is the one you can find in the unit's EDU entry.

You create one, and any subsequent folders you need to.

It appears you may need to unpack those files. There is an excellent tutorial on using Vercingetorix's Unpacker (If I recall correctly that is what it is called). Anyhoo, start from there, get all those things unpacked and the folders established, and we'd be able to assist you better.

You need to unpack the packed UI files that exist in data/packs folder, using Vercingetorix's pak-extractor. Downloads/RTW/Tools, bottom of the list.

EDIT: Oops, too late.

No Aradan, it looks like your advice was infinitely more helpful than my pathetic words. You actually gave him more to go on than I did!

Additionally, you can look here, and also here for some tutorials on making new unit cards. Very helpful guides. (Apologies for linking to another site)
