Civ4ArtDefines Unit
The Civ4ArtDefines_Unit file declares various art settings for units.
All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

| Type | Object Name (Unit). |
| NIF | Location of NIF (model) file. |
| KFM | Location of KFM (animation) file. |
| SHADERNIF | Location of "shaded" NIF (model) file. |
| TrainSound | This is the sound played when an unit is built in a city. |
Boolean
All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".
