At this stage I should say 2 things -

a) I don't knoe exactly where my contributions to this thread will end, but my final PART will cover a checklist for creating new units within MTW. Probably be named 'PART x: Checklist for adding new units' or something similar.

b) Please feel free to question, and/or correct anything I've written. First, I certainly don't 'know it all' and I'm sure other people can contribute. Second, as the info in this thread is intended to serve as the basis for an 'MTW Animations modding guide' I would appreciate comments in respect of mistakes/omissions/repetition/bad terminology/confusing points/insufficient examples etc, etc
