The 'Art - Model File' is what skin your unit will have.

(I have also included the 'Abilities' value in, for simplicity purposes.) The Art values are the values that have to do with what the unit looks like and (pretaining to the Art- Caster Upgrade Art) what it does when it upgrades. You can change the tiles in your tool palette by selecting the 'Modify Tileset' choice under Advanced.For example, you would not want to put Lordaeron Summer trees in your Wintermaul or Barrens trees in your Lordaeron Summer tileset, they just don't match. You will want your terrain to match your genre.This has two selections, Circle and Square. The 'Shape' is what shape your brush has.Raise raises the ground level, Lower lowers the ground level, Plateau makes wherever you drag your mouse the same as your initial click, Noise makes random height levels in an area and Smooth smooths out any bumps or dips that you made. The 'Apply Height' checkbox indicates that you want to changes the height of the ground, without making cliffs.The 'Cliff Type' is what you want your cliff sides / surrounding tiles to look like.For example, level 1 to level 2, level 2 to level 3, level 3 to level 4. Ramps may only be placed on single increase cliffs. Select from the icons the feature you want to use on your ground. The 'Apply Cliff' checkbox indicates that you want to apply a cliff modification.Once you have chosen your tile, move your cursor over your original World Editor window and left-click where you want to place that tile-type. To select the tile that you want, click on the icon of the texture. The 'Apply Texture' checkbox indicates that you want to apply a tile.You can look at maps to get ideas, but generally you'll want to start a map from scratch, unless you have the maker's permission. This is considered stealing and is a very stupid thing to do. Do not just edit someone else's map to make it seem like yours.Do not choose massive games like DotA as your first map, because they are just big and bulky and take a very long time to make. Choose a game-type that you think you can do.If you do not like the game you're making, you will not have fun making it and you most likely will not finish it. Choose a game-type that interests YOU.For example, Tower Defense, Capture the Flag, Murder Mysteries, Hero Wars, or RPG's. It's the type of game you're going to make. What is a 'genre?' It is what your map is associated with. Part 2 Choosing a GenreNow that you have your map open and your initial settings up, you need to decide on your map genre. For example, do not select Rock tiles (which are un-buildable) for your base tile if your map includes building. You will want to choose an appropriate base for your map.Checking the 'Random Height Field' box will make your map have bumps all over the ground, like an earthquake.The 'Initial Water Level' is how deep your water will be at the start.The 'Initial Cliff Level' is how far up your ground will be from the base, or dark water.There are tabs with 'preview' icons, select the tab with your preferred tile. The ‘Initial Tile’ is what all of your ground will look like upon starting.Lordaeron Summer features Dirt, Rough Dirt, Grassy Dirt, Rock, Grass and Dark Grass tiles. Lordaeron Summer is the default Tileset and is the most-used one. The ‘Tileset’ is what your ground will look like.The 'Size Description' is just something to label maps, and has no significance.You can increase that later by removing the boundaries. The 'Playable Area' can be ignored, because it just tells you how much room there is within the boundaries.256 is the largest size, and again will probably not be wanted for most maps, because it is so large. 32 is the smallest size, and is generally not wanted for a map because it is so small. The 'Map Size' is how big your map is, length-wise and width-wise.
