Can someone give me links, or at least a direction to the Programs I'll need?

Trying to tackle all aspects at once is suicide. Trust me.

The Community Project will also be great for you to get some experience. It would be great if you just got a little practice with a few parts of modding while we are deciding the content of the mod there.
I'd love to help you in any way I can.
BTW, have you done any mapping?

Loading Image: Make a 128x128px image, save it as mapname_pic.tga
General advice: http://www.the3rdage.net/item-311
The symbol - I presume that indicates whether it is an official map or not. This is decided by the mapcache.ini file, which is present in Maps.big and in your My Battle for Middle-earth Files. You could try editing the latter and changing Official=No to Official=Yes, but it may get overwritten by the game or WB.

On topic. You are referring to the map.ini? A map.ini is kinda like a mini-mod for your map. It allows you to change things about objects, just for that map. Try here for a tutorial on them.
Coding on a Map.ini is a simpler, easy way to start coding. It is a little less overwhelming, because it is all in one file. I taught myself the basics of map.ini coding (from looking at other map.inis from maps I got online,) before I even knew what a mod was.

Anyways, I'll take that tutorial a bit later, I'm making banners personal use right now. I love to photoshop.

Skinning has come pretty natural to me. I've only made a handful of skins, but I was quite good in photoshop to begin with... You may be the same way. I'd love to see what kind of skin you can make.
But one thing at a time. I don't want to rush you.

Oh, don't worry about not rushing me. I'm a busy person.
I love being busy, Its a hobby =]

For something like a normal unit, it doesn't really matter what the face looks like (as opposed to a hero who's in the movies, where you'll need a specific picture), so I usually just use any good face I can find that seems to fit for something like that.
