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)
All AUM mod tables in all Total War games use this prefix: "aum_"
You need to download the Pack File Manager. A note to 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 db tables. One wrong entry can cause CTD's. Please create a backup before you edit the pack file in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it.
Under the title you see in which AUM mods you can use the related customization.
INFORMATION about my new AUM-ATT will follow soon.

(AUM-EMP AUM-NAP AUM-SHO AUM-ROM AUM-ATT)

(AUM-EMP AUM-NAP AUM-SHO)
"unit_stats_land_tables/unit_stats_land". You can raise these values in these two columns: "Men" and "Artillery"
Example:
If you want to give them 6 instead of 4 cannons, then you have to change the "Men" to 36 and the "Artillery" to 6. One cannon requires 6 men.
How to give the "trading ability" to a ship
(AUM-EMP AUM-NAP)
"unit_stats_naval_tables/units_stats_naval". Scroll to the third last column "Can_trade". Change the "False" value to "True" to assign the "trading ability" to this ship.
