> I've downloaded the XCC utilities and stuff, i'm just waitin on the paith shop pro evaluation thingy. You have a guide to adding icons but will that put that icon onto the say vehicle list in your war factory? For example, how would i get a howitzer in the game? I've seen in many mods loads of new units and buildings eg: the psychic tower, m-15s, demodrones, harvestdrones, sonic tanks etc. How would i be able to create a mod that allows people to do that? 
You'd first start with the small things, like adding a new icon to an existing unit.
On http://deezire.net/ you'll find more tutorials.
