How to customize Unit Pack Mods

How to customize "Unit Pack Mods"

Here is my tutorial how you can add, change or remove something in Unit Pack Mods.

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - EMPIRE (AUM-EMP)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - NAPOLEON (AUM-NAP)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - SHOGUN (AUM-SHO)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - ROME (AUM-ROM)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - ATTILA (AUM-ATT)

You need to download the Pack File Manager. A note about the use of the "Pack File Manager" for all players who are not experienced how to use this tool. I recommend to be very careful what you edit in the database tables. One wrong entry can cause crashes. Please create a backup before you edit a mod in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it.
