To make changes to the tooltip follow these steps:
Open your data editor (F7)
Actors
Change Data Type to "Actors".
Find the unit you want to edit the tooltip for.
Take note of what's written in the Unit Name field at the top, as we'll use this to find the respective unit.
Find UI - Highlight Tooltip and double click on it.
Change the Text Key field to something new. I like to use "Unit / <Unit Name> / Tooltip".
Write your new tooltip in the text box.
Click OK
Units
Change Data Type to "Units"
Find the unit that you saw in the Unit Name field of the actor.
Edit the Unit - Unit Flags
Uncheck the flag No Tooltip
Click OK
Place the unit on to your map and click Test Document
Now you can hover your mouse over the unit and see your new tooltip!

Applying Styles
You can also apply styles to your tooltip like font style, font size, font colour and position. You can find a list of all styles and what they look like at the wiki entry ( Galaxy / Data / Actors / UI / Highlight Tooltip
Open the UI - Highlight Tooltip value in the data editor (actors) again.
Make sure Show Style Controls is checked. Display as Raw Text is optional. I recommend checking it as you can see exactly what's happening.
Highlight the text you want to add a style to.
The drop down box next to Apply Style should now be active.
Choose your style, and click the Apply Style button.
