I can't completely run this down today, but I looked in my Pediacons
file for RAR (C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization
III\Conquests\Scenarios\RAR\Text) and found these:
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_British_Infantry
British Rifleman
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_German_Infantry
German Rifleman
These are in the DYP units sub-section, not the new RAR units section
at the very bottom. I haven't played Germany yet in RAR, but my
install of RAR gives me the British rifleman as a guy wearing a pith
helmet (Boer War era), and British infantry as a WWI-type of uniform.
The Boer guy is crouched over making a bayonet thrust; the WWI guy is
standing up erect. I'm not sure, but I think Boer-guy does not upgrade
to Infantry, but Infantry does to Grunt. Never checked the Civpedia to
see if that was correct.
Note it's British Infantry, not English Infantry. The German problem
might be fixable by copying the DYP file into the RAR section and
checking it against the Civpedia text file to make names match. I did
that to fix the Apache Longbow/Longbow Apache transpose error in RAR.
A DYP unit icon should work just as well in RAR. If you want to tweak
its numbers you can in the editor once it's installed.
Hope this helped. I'm not the Civ3 file guru some others are here.
