ok i'll just explain more or less what youve gotta do to edit the whole game, its easier than you think once you catch it
all you need to do is get the FinalBIG program, and extract the whole INIZH.BIG to ZH directory (such that in Data folder youll have an additional INI folder with a
*censored*load of .ini files)
from here all you have to do is in different files (of which names will tell you what theyre responsible for... like upgrade.ini or weapon.ini...) change, add, copy or delete different lines
E.G for the pathfinder to be available to e.g. GLA base faction, you'd open americainfantry.ini (or sth like that) and find pathfinder, copy whole code, and find the 'prerequisites' line. change it from us barracks to gla ones... maybe delete the general point requirement. + name the unit something like pathfinder2
next in commandbutton.ini you would have to copy pathfinder button and change the object to your new pathfinder2, and add that button in commandset.ini in GLA's barracks commandset. and voila it should work
you can also remove the upgrades (some of the behavior = xxx, you should guess which are which by the code) and their images next to portrait (at the start of the code, cameos - just below the portrait and portrait_L), you can then work around to add e.g. the ap bullets etc.
Good luck :)
EDIT
you can ( or even should) change the which side does the unit belong to as well (somewhere around the unit's display name - OBJECT:xxx)
