You find the instructions to the page 42 of sdk manual and you can take as example Tim sprite mod. I'm not expert of sprites modding so I cannot give specific advices

If you are just replacing some stock sprites with your own, then you need to make changes in unitpack.csv. Find the entries for the old sprites and make the necessary changes. As long as you do not change the names in column A, that is all you'll have to do.

If you are adding new sprites, you need to make additions to unitpack, unitmodel, unitglobal and finally the oob.
I can make this march and I will make Georgia howl.

Im sad this game are not modeble, no good editor and very hard to understand what need to change in logistic files, i think id this game has 3d modeles not sprites all be much more easy.

Now all fine and work good, damn I just forgot make changes in plist files.
So my mod include: French guard dragoon sprite, chasseur a pied with correct bear hat, horse grenadiers with correct bear hat, and Waterloo scenario with some bug fix.
