    Well, sorry I have some bad news. I'm actually working on something myself that is very similar.

    First of all, this belongs in the modding section not here. Second of all I hope you have a lot of patience. My advice is to read up a lot on modding as you will need to know everything from adding mesh, sprite, unit info cards, to the EDU, EDB, battle_models.modeldb (the most difficult one), and be prepared for lots of crashing. General advice, add this to your config file

    -----

    [io]
    file_first = true

    [log]
    to = logs/system.log.txt level = * error

    -----

    and read these:

    it belong to modding section but I work a sub mod for Dave's great mod, right?
    I have a bit knowledge about battle_models.modeldb,unit card, dersc_unit,and some others file
    I know that not enough but I won't give up my dream(Just read a manga about 1004-1017 about viking invasion in England so I decide to bring more power to norse and Wales, Scot)
    everythings need PTS,3Dmax my friend will help me so it decrease my work a lot

    I also finish many new unit(use old model but will get new model soon) they have all name, unit card, description, balance stats they work fine and great in custom battle now
    the only problem now is how to add them to recruit pool in export_descr_buildings.txt

    I mean that all your link is useless now cause I read and done with all of them
    (one more thing we are trying to create some unit and building about our nation for a big mod about asian so it is importance for me to have experience in modding file like export_descr_buildings.txt)

    Really that file is pretty easy to learn. I'll post a short tutorial later if you require, but I'd look in the modding section. There should be tutorials for the EDB.
