Nice work...although

A) You currently can't launch any 3rd party modifications to UAW due to Live restrictions until the next patch (which will enable full mod support)
B) If you're trying to write a modding tutorial/guide you really need to understand the way in which the various XML files corelate with the rest of the game engine. If you can't actually test your modded files ingame how can your guide possibly be accurate?

Thanks for taking the time to do this but it's just not really that helpful...yet Good to see you're beginning to look through the xml structure though. That's great, keep it up

yes i have done all the mod thing

under guide comes mod but the human faction doesn't show (although turned on) :(.

anyway no problem just letting people know how easy it is to make them playable lol.
