How to change rally ability tooltip?

Not in a place to check War3 at the moment, but in my rewrite I load this information from [CmdRally] in the profile data similar to other builtins, rather than from some [ARal] rawcode skin entry. Here's the place in the src where the game UI parses this in case that helps:

So, you could probably put your custom data in [CmdRally] either in war3mapSkins.txt or in the Units\CommandStrings.txt or whatever. Up to you as far as which paradigm you want to use for your map, but war3mapSkins.txt seems more ideologically correct.

Thanks for the Hint regarding commandstrings.txt however there seem to be some issues.
Setting the tooltip via war3mapSkins.txt does not work. Setting it via Units\CommandStrings.txt does work, but if you only provide CmdRally in there, all default values are lost. Best option right now seems to copy Units\CommandStrings.txt and replace the rally value, but that would mean broken localization I suppose.
Interestingly enough, changing the icon of the ARal ability via object editor works, just not the other values.
