Mod questions

[Boron]

The first questions occured while starting my mod

1. Do i need to make a bow a bonus weapon ? Same for any ranged weapon ?
2. Can i only have 4 weapons per monster ?
I plan to make an oliphaunt with the following attacks :
1 trunk attack , 1 "trample" attack with feet , 10 shots per round from bowmen on the back .
Do i need to make 2 bowmen attacks with 5 shots each per round then ?
3. If i do that does this work at all : a bow with 5 or 10 shots per battleround ?
4. What is the sound of the elephant ? I would like to assign this sound to the trunk + trample attack .
5. Is there a limit for HP ? I plan to give the Oliphaunt 200 hp but my other idea is to give him 500 hp but make him lifeless to avoid abuse of regeneration spells
6. What happens with my units if i don't assign them weapon slots + commander abilities if they get GoRed ?
7. I plan to use a special area attack for my Oliphaunt and also a small one for the War troll club attack .

Atm i have the following as trunkattack :
-Oliphaunt Trunk-
#newweapon 806
#name "Spiked Trunk"
#damage 8
#att 3
#len 6
#aoe 3
#sound ??

Does this mean that if the Oliphaunt succeeds with his attack throw then all targets in an Aoe 3 get attacked by 8+str+2d6 damage ?
Can he damage himself ?

The attack should be that the Oliphaunt can hit about 5-10 Rohirrim with 1 big Trunk attack and kill most of them , similiar to the film .

8. Is there a "freespawn" command that i could give one Mordor leader the ability to get "freespawn" Orcs like Pangenea Pans get Maenads ?
Or is the only possibilty to achieve that to use the Pan and the Maenad units for this ?
I can't do this solution though because an Oliphaunt shall cost something between 500-1000 gold and a Wartroll probably around 200 gold .

Thanks for the answers .

I have so far done 11 weapons , 13 armors/helms/shields and 7 from 10 units , so about 10-20% i guess .
I already fear doing the sprites for my units then though .
If anyone knows some good LotR graphics that may fit please feel free to post them here or as links .

Finally S Sube and Weissi may i maybe use some of your unit graphics from your Black Moon + Orc Mods unaltered or only slightly altered ?
I would be very grateful
