	Custom unit configuration files should be put in your add-on's <i>units</i> directory, and their custom graphics in the <i>images/units</i> directory. Be sure to have the <i>units</i> directory included from your _main.cfg. The include for this directory, however, should be wrapped in a <b>[+units][/units]</b> tag pair. See [[AddonStructure]] for an example.		Custom unit configuration files should be put in your add-on's <i>units</i> directory, and their custom graphics in the <i>images/units</i> directory.

	Making new units is fairly easy. Unit configuration files are plain text files that you can edit with any editor such as Notepad, TextEdit, gedit, pico, vi, emacs, etc. You will need to become familiar with [[UnitTypeWML\|WML]] in order to make a new unit. This page contains a more in-depth discussion of Unit WML syntax and will walk you through the creation of a new unit and discuss how you can use it in-game.		Making new units is fairly easy.

	Any unit in the game's existing data/units/*/ directories (you can't just add a new directory to data/units/) or ''[[EditingWesnoth#Where_is_my_user_data_directory.3F\|userdata]]''/data/ will be recognized by the game. If you only want to use it once or twice as a special unit, that's all you need to do. However, just because you made a new unit does NOT mean that it can be recruited. Each scenario and multiplayer era has a specific recruit list. If your unit is not on the list, you can't recruit it. This means you need to modify the ''recruit='' key in the appropriate configuration file. [[~~BuildingMultiplayer~~]] describes different ways you do this for multiplayer. To add a unit to a campaign, read about scenarios, sides, and recruit lists in [[BuildingScenarios]].
