They must be TGA files with 8 bits per channel. You do have this thing, right?

This means that the unit's graphics will only contain 256 colors maximum?

256 colors per channel means 16M colors, as there are 3 channels.

About minimum/maximum tga size, that depends. The tga must be one of certain sizes, 32x32, 64x64 etc., but the units can be of very different sizes. You can mod in both humans and dragons, after all.

You'd need the official answer to make the optimal graphics, but if you do them so that they work with Dominions II they'll probably be easiest to import without any insider-info.

Well still no answer from the devs, no idea why , but I have yet another question...this time somewhat AI related

6. Can we add some "command" for the AI to priorize specific path in research/spellcasting? Example someone gonna add a new nation the dwarves with mainly construction type spells/summons, and it would be good if the AI could mainly focus on the construction tree research/spellcasting. Hope I can get some answers...anyways I already began to work on the unit gfx, I will just resize them when I can get a proper answer from the devs.
