The tutorial by Trisolo (scenario tc) is quite good, but it could be much better. This new tutorial is based on his, but I will extent it as far as my knowledge allows. Most importantly I will clarify the meaning of each value, by telling what's it used for, and what effect it has.
For the basic introduction of the aoed/rord tool seehere
Many credits go to Trisolo (scenario tc), Darkrain, Zapdotep and default0
Important Note: I might sometimes forget values or units, because the Gaia and normal civ files differ. If you see such a thing please let me know.
Unit section(civ?units)
civ_?_unit_?_type: This controls what kinds of the following lines the unit would have. Please note, not all types have all the following lines. Buildings have all these lines, units a few less and dead units a lot less.

civ_?_unit_?_graphic_die02: Always unused (-1)

civ_?_unit_?_hotkey: sets the hotkeys for that unit. Meaning of codes is unknown to me. Each hotkey can probably be traced back by checking which ingame hotkeys a unit has, and then compare against the values in this dataline.
civ_?_unit_?_unknown02_13b: effect is unknown, but DarkRain654 noted that if any of these values is 1, unknown02_11 is always o (0 in unknown02_11 doesn't mean 13b contains a 1 though)

civ_?_unit_?_unknown24_02: unknown effect. Trisolo said something about common armor

0 = rest
civ_?_unit_?_attack_numtypes: determines how many attack types can be inserted in attack_data
civ_?_unit_?_attack_data: determines attack strength of this unit.

275 = catapult man (a villager flying through air)
300 = alligator (alligator flying through air?)
329 = burning catapult stone
civ_?_unit_?_attack_accuracy_percent: 0 This has nothing to do with the problem if a missile will miss or not(that is coded in another way, and can be changed. burning missiles or not more accurate, but alchemy also changes the accuracy, so that burning missiles look more accurate.). What it does is this: if set to 50, no matter if the arrow(or even sword) will hit, in 50% of the cases no damage will be done. This value should therefore be left 100 or 0
civ_?_unit_?_unknown31_04: only used my missiles and always 0
civ_?_unit_?_unknown32_03: ?
256 = laser tower (maybe this is why it doesn't work, because it's a strange, lonely value)
0 or left open rest
civ_?_unit_?_unknown33_01: Buildings only
256 = all towers except mirror tower
0 = mirror tower + rest
civ_?_unit_?_attack_missile_graphic_delay: . I think this is the time between start of attack and the moment the missile leaves. (example archer decides to attack-start timer-archer pulls back bowstring, archer releases bowstring- timer reaches 5 sec(value for archers)-an arrow graphic will appear and start moving towards enemy. 5 seconds seems long though for an archer. Value could also be frames instead of seconds
civ_?_unit_?_attack_missile_displacement: I don't think this control the speed of the missile (that is likely in the data of the missile_unit itself). I think this controls the position where the graphic will start (x y z coordinates). example bowman: 0 0.5 1.5 and elephant archer (archer is higher because it's on an elephant) 0 0.2 3. It would explain the difference in z value, but not the difference in y value
civ_?_unit_?_blast_level:
civ_?_unit_?_attack_minimum_range: if set to > 0 or 1 the unit will be unable to retaliate to melee attack. This is used for catapults so that they can't attack right in front of them.
civ_?_unit_?_graphic_attack: refers to an ID from graphics_other that contains this unit when it attacks.
civ_?_unit_?_displayed_melee_armour: controls which melee armor value will be seen in the unit card. Does not change the actual melee armor!!!!! (that should be changed with armor_data)
civ_?_unit_?_displayed_attack: controls which attack value will be seen in the unit card. (actual attack should be changed with attack_data)
civ_?_unit_?_displayed_attack_range: controls which range is displayed in the unit card. (actual range should be changed with attack_maximum_range)
civ_?_unit_?_attack_reload02: see reload01. always same value.
civ_?_unit_?_cost1_type: choose a resource type
Known types are:
0 = food
1 = wood

3 = gold
-1 = not used
civ_?_unit_?_cost1_amount: Choose how much of this resource type this unit will cost
civ_?_unit_?_cost1_unknown:
1 = this cost is used
0 = this cost is not used if type = -1, but if type and amount do have values (example 300 food) and this unknown is 0 you do need to have the amount, but don't actually pay it.
civ_?_unit_?_cost2_type: Should be sort of same as cost1, but there are some more values here.
Known types are:
0 = food
1 = wood
2 = stone
3 = gold
-1 = not used
30 = unknown. All buildings have it
civ_?_unit_?_cost2_amount: See cost1_amount
civ_?_unit_?_cost2_unknown: see cost1_unknown, with one exception. If type 30 is used, unknown = 0
civ_?_unit_?_cost3_type: ?
-1 = rest
4 = used by ships, villagers and military units(perhaps it controls pop cap)
civ_?_unit_?_cost3_amount: 0 see cost1_amount
civ_?_unit_?_cost3_unknown: is always 0
civ_?_unit_?_train_time: time it takes to construct or train this unit in seconds
civ_?_unit_?_train_unit: Location ID of recruiting/construction. Usually a building (barracks inf have 12(unit 12 is barracks1). Most important: if value = 118 it will appear in the villagers construction interface.
civ_?_unit_?_train_button: After you choose the location at train_unit, you need to choose at which specific spot in the interface it will appear.
at buildings you can choose like this:
at villagermenu you have 2 pages
civ_?_unit_?_displayed_pierce_armour: This doesn't affect the real armor value. It just controls what you see in the unitcard.
civ_?_unit_?_graphic_construction: Buildings only: refers to an graphic ID in graphics_other that contains the foundation of this building.
civ_?_unit_?_unknown34_01: buildings only:
0 = rest
1 = walls
civ_?_unit_?_unknown34_02: buildings only: always 0
civ_?_unit_?_unknown34_03: buildings only: always -1 -1 -1
civ_?_unit_?_research: buildings only (very unfortunate, since it's very useful for modders such as I). The nr here refers to a researchID. Example academy has 72. It means that if academy is constructed research 72 is automatically researched.
civ_?_unit_?_unknown36_02: Darkrain thinks this has something to do with building type
0 = rest
113 = house
183 = towers
189 = walls
civ_head section
