    If you just want to change the display name(what it is named in game).

    search the unit name from export_descr_unit in the "export_units" file. and change the text after the bracketed name:

    i.e.

    {Byzantine_Lancers} Byzantine Lancers <--change this to what you want

    edit: nvm, i think i understand what you mean, you meant the export_unit file found in /data/text file.

    thanks

    I should give you a heads up though! Just in case really.

    If you replace the name for a vanilla unit that's shared by multiple factions, it reflects for all factions.

    I.E. Changing a Feudal Knight's name to Super Knight will give all factions that can create one the name Super Knight. If you want your own personally named unit, you gotta make a new one.

    not to be "snippety" but good add on! but it might backfire! see because when you say make a new one, you do not say name or unit (obviously you meant unit) but if a person has decent enough IQ to get that than they would also assume your main reference! ( just "joshin` you man) it is a common mistake when editing the unit text!
