Created new unit, need help Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Created a new unit for the game (the terrorist), and made espionage a requirement for its development.

When I researched espionage, the game displayed this error message:

Error Reading File
".\Art\Units\Terrorist\Terrorist\INI"

Obviously I've done something wrong. I recycled the explorer graphic and used it as the terrorist graphic; did I accidently create some problems doing that? Have I left something out entirely? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Easiest way (that I know of) is to go into the Art\Units folder in your Civ3 directory and create a copy of the Explorer Folder, rename it Terrorist, then rename the files inside the new folder as well, i.e. Explorer.ini -> Terrorist.ini.
This keeps the original unit intact and creates a 'new' animation for the new unit (though it's really the old Explorer animation, etc).

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

That is the easiest way, but also the most space requiring.

One other way, if you care about your space, is to create a new folder in the Art\Units directory and name it Terorist. Then copy and rename the Explorer.ini file, and open it for editing. Then add ..\Explorer\ berfore all filenames.
