You'll need to edit 3 files.

Export_descr_unit.txt

Find the unit you want to change recruitment of and add the faction name you would like to have recruit it:

stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 796, 100, 75, 93, 788
ownership        numidia, roman_julii

Then, in descr_model_battle.txt

Find the unit you want to add to a new faction and add a skin assignment to it. Just copy one of the texture lines, paste it and change the faction name to one you wish to recruit it;

type                elephant_african
skeleton            fs_indian_elephant                ; indian is correct, african skeleton is only for cataphract
indiv_range            40
texture                carthage, data/models_unit/textures/mount_african_elephant.tga
texture                seleucid, data/models_unit/textures/mount_african_elephant_seleucid.tga
texture                parthia, data/models_unit/textures/mount_african_elephant_parthia.tga
texture                roman_julii/models_unit/textures/mount_african_elephant_parthis.tga

Finally, go into export_descr_buildings.txt

Find the building you would like to recruit this unit from (remember the building already recruiting the unit must be able to be built by new faction you want to recruit it) and add the unit and the line:

    ;nobles_house
        governors_house requires factions { barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, parthia, egyptian, greek, roman, } 
        {
            capability
            { 
       recruit "woad warrior"  0  requires factions { pontus, dacia,  roman, } 

Good luck.
