I have not done any unit modding, but looking quickly at the Oceania mod for direction I will try to help until someone more knowledgeable comes along.
Quote:
-Where should I put the tga files within the dom2/mods folder and what path name should connect to it from the sprite 1 an 2 commands in the new units' set up?

With Oceania,
1. Oceania.dm file in the 'mods' directory.
2. A folder named 'Oceania' also in the 'mods' directory.
3. The sprite commands follow:
#selectmonster 1043
#spr1 "./oceania/ichtso1.tga"
#spr2 "./oceania/ichtso2.tga"
#end
The "./oceania/" tells the game to look in the current directory ('mods') for a folder named oceania, then the "ichtso1.tga" is the unit image within that folder specified to use for the units icon. I hope that explains the path enough to get you rolling.
I will leave the rest of your questions to someone with some actual experience modding units!
