I’m having problems to show a new portrait for the ashigaru

**File path of the png…:** mods\local\Unique portraits\Data\wpfg\resources\art\units\asians\japanese\ashigaru  
**Name of the png:** deIconMeijiAshigaru

**techtreemods.XML** file

```auto
<techtreemods>
<tech name="ypConsulateJapaneseMeijiRestoration" type="Normal">

    <effects>

             <Effect mergeMode='add' type="Data" amount="0.00" subtype="CopyUnitPortraitAndIcon" unittype="ypAshigaru" relativity="Absolute">

    <target type="ProtoUnit">deIconMeijiAshigaru</target>

  </effect>
<techtreemods>

```

**protomods.XML**

```auto
<protomods>
<unit id="3001" name="deIconMeijiAshigaru">
<dbid>3525</dbid>

<icon>resources\\art\\units\\asians\\japanese\\ashigaru\\deIconMeijiAshigaru.png</icon>

<portraiticon>resources\\art\\units\\asians\\japanese\\ashigaru\\deIconMeijiAshigaru.png</portraiticon>

</unit>
<protomods>

```

Any help?
