you could take a look at the lady umbers gift mod since it's similar

Thank you for your reply crimsongekko, looking for it right now.

AND

i forgot to mention that the Obsidian Golem i modified will only be avaiable to Empire Players in that way since it's tied to the Black_Quire Tech, it would be nice if you guys could instruct me on how to make it viable to the Kingdoms equivalent tech.

Disregard, i changed the tech requirement to Magical_Forging.

colossi strength is available to all designed units, I think you need to remove the unit_design tag at the beginning if the ability file

I know it sounds crazy, but the game refuses to see stuff into folder with a dot in the name
