How to add units?

[mrb628]

battle_models.db How do I create a completely new unit (in a mod)? I found some files in the modfolder that are very cool but not used. I would like to use these units in my game, so how do I tell the game that with models.db? I used to know how to add units for RTW but this models.db file is baffling...I already have the EDU file done, now what?

Here is the EDU entry for one:
