edit: Even in the Imladris region I haven't found the Nobles, and I'm well past the barracks event.
Then I was mistaken. My OOTMM campaign was quite a while ago...
Anyway, this means that they are not included.

Probably not 
If you have an earlier save, you could load that and simply not accept the script.
If you can find out what unit causes the crash, you can try to put it back in the export_descr_units file, as it has probably been removed. However, if you have over 500 units in that file, the game will crash by default, so you might have to take a unit out (which might then crash other parts of your game). All of this might not even work, but it's worth a try.

Also I want to give Gimli (as one of my Gondorian generals) axeman of erebor unit, i tried giving ownership to this unit as siciliy (or gondor) it did not work, was grey soldiers all arround, what should i do to get those stuff work , i know some stuff about editing certain things but my knowledge is not enough to achieve those, can someone basicaly help me with this ?, or at least tell me what i am missing., any help would be much apreciated fellas.
Ah, the Silver Surfers 
You have to go to the battle_models.modeldb file in this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age_3\data\unit_models
It's probably the most annoying file in existence, so bear with me.
This is Aragorns entry:
To make him available for Gondor, you need to edit the file like this:
You have to change both 4's to 5's, as there are 5 entries now instead of 4. You have to add an entry for Sicily, as that is Gondor.
The annoying part is that Sicily has 6 letters, so you have to put the number 6 in front of it. Even more annoying is that a single slight error in this file will crash your game. So make backups!
What I've written above should do the trick for Aragorn, but if it doesn't, try to find a tutorial as I might have forgotten something. Units work the same way.
If you ever think about adding new units, you have to change the big number in the very first line as well. For a single additional unit, 1489 becomes 1490.
