Editing unit info

[ErikModi]

So, got a bit into editing some XMLs for taste, and was now wondering about changing the text box for units, where it displays their name and some information.  Which file do I need to edit, and do I need any special tools?

All the text strings are in MasterTextFile_English.dat, for which you'll need a .dat editor.  The xml entry for each unit has xml tags that tell the game which text strings from the text file to use.

Thanks!

EDIT:  Uh, so, where can I find a DAT editor that makes sense of the gobbledegook?

Oh yeah, Filefront is gone.. Try EverythingEAW or Petrolution?
