Hello everyone.
I would like to reskin my units and some of my buidlings but I really don't know how it works.
Where can textures for units and buildings be found and how do I add new textures to a unit?
I know there used to be a tutorial on Age of Empires III Heaven but I can no longer find it.

Hello SkyOne578
I tried it and it worked.Is there a good way of knowing which part of the texture belongs to the body?
Thats quite tough for me sometimes and do you know how the player colour is added to a new skin?

Greetings Sir Blubby,
To know each part of the body, just color 4 parts of the texture, like 4 squares with the same size, with 4 different colors: red, green, blue, black. Do some tests to see: if the red part is in his head, this means his head is in the red part of your texture file, and so on...
Regarding to the player color, just find out where are listed the layers. Main layers are red, green, blue and alpha channel. To change player color, just change the alpha channel: white part means no player color at all (like the head), black part means player color (like the arms). Since you use GIMP, it may be a bit harder than Photoshop but do not worry: once you find the layers, things will be easier than ever.
