I've been busy making a lot of changes to the basic AoD in an attempt to build up a specialized alternate history Balkan mod and I have a question about changing the names of units. When one goes to the production screen I notice that the infantry and cavalry units one can build have the year ('36, '39 etc) as well as the model number (1,2,3 etc) and what I want to to do is change the year names that correspond to a model. How do I do it?
 
Sorry I don't know.
 
Well, if I understand you correctly, you would need to change the year in the db\tech corresponding file for the units you want to change. Then, you would have to change the model's label in the config\unit_names, where you would have to find, for example, MODEL_10_0, etc. and change the unit name in the text. Either that or do the same in the config\doomsdaytext or boostertext files, depending in which .txt file is located the model you want to change. Oh, and depending on the model you want to change, you may desire to find it in the config\tech_names (or the doomsdaytext or boostertext) file and alter the information therein, too. I hope this helps you out somewhat! ;)
