The structure would only effect it if you're keeping the same unit name. When making new stuff, it is best to make a new unit entirely and give it all its own files. Maybe give the following a once over. I made a text file for personal use, as the process on the first few tries requires quite a bit. Maybe it will help you trouble shoot...

How to create a new recruitable unit.      
This unit will be called Tactician and will be Elven.      
It will have the 3D and 2D images of Lemuan.

Resources/Profiles

- Copy and rename story_lemuan.char to elves_tactician.char

- Now open elves_tactician.char

- Change id from "story_lemuan" to "elves_tactician";

- Change # include from
"stats\\story_Lemuan_stats.char"; to..
"stats\\elves_tactician_stats.char";

- Change # include from
"desc\\story_Lemuan_desc.char"; to..
desc\\elves_tactician_desc.char";

- Change capital_icon from      
"resources\characters\story\lemuan\icon_lemuan_capital.t"; to..      
"resources\characters\story\lemuan\icon_lemuan_dialog.t";      

- If you are using a leader file as your base working copy and want the new unit to not be a leader, delete the line:
leader_icon "resources\\characters\\story\\Lemuan\\icon_Lemuan_ring.t"

Resources/Profiles/desc

- Copy and paste story_lemuan_desc.char file and rename it to elves_tactican_desc.char.

Now change its contents from:

//story_lemuan's description

nameid "StoryLemuan";
descid "StoryLemuanDesc";
minidesc "StoryLemuan_MD";

to..

//elves_tactician's description

nameid "ElvesTactician";
descid "ElvesTacticianDesc";
minidesc "ElvesTactician_MD";

Resources/Profiles/stats

- Make a new stats file called elves_tactician_stats

- Change skill_grid to "elves_tactician";

- If the stats file you're working from is a leader, and you're making the unit a non-leader, then delete.. Leadership 3; and raceleader;
Otherwise, add those. Also add viewradius 10; if it doesn't have it.

- Likewise, if you're working from a stats file of a different faction, you'll need to ensure that at the top it has..
unit_side "elves"; and      
side elves;

Resources\Profiles\skills

- Copy and paste an existing skill file and rename it to elves_tactician.grid

- Open it and change the first line to read..
grid "elves_tactician"
(it does not need a ; at the end)

Add skills accordingly.
