Eh, if you copystat a pan, the copied unit just summons maenads, so you'd need to overwrite maenad unit (and basically overwrite panganea nations entirely).

Eh, not possible. Although I have some experience with
erratic randoms, due to my Alugra mod. If you watch that link I gave you, you will basically see two options. Either go the "Librarian" way, or the "Gambler" way.
If you really don't want the unit to get lots of power in single path, the "Librarian" way is the best. Although, speaking from experience, it's pretty rare for me to luck out into a gambler that has more than 2 magic in a single path.

Reading the stuff that others have suggested, I've come to this conclusion to implement this:
Give them a capital only recruitable unique commander that summons the hawks. Or give that commander to them as a starting commander/scout and don't make it recruitable. Both ways are possible and gameplay-wise, they are pretty much the same thing as the site summon.

You are not. Many other modders are quite frustrated with sprite making. Only thing I can say is to be patient and if you just can't proceed, post your pics in the Sprite Editing thread and I'll give some tips.
I've also been meaning to do a shading tutorial for a long while, perhaps this would be the time for me actually start doing it.
