RTS Starter Kit and Creating units

I have downloaded and installed the RTS starter kit. I have been playing around with it for weeks and have created some textures, 3D models and interfaces. I have come to the point where I want to start placing some units. The docs start to get a little vague on how to do that. I have read the docs on the RTSUnit data block and I have created one for one of my units. It is getting included and compiled by the engine.

Here are my questions:
1) how do i create an instance of that unit? (Script or Tools)
2) Does anyone know of any resources specifically for RTS Style games?

Here is the file:
datablock RTSUnitData(terranScoutBlock : UnitBaseBlock)
{
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/ships/terran/terran_scout.dts";

baseDamage = 50;
attackDelay = 32;
damagePlus = 3;

armor = 1;

moveSpeed = 4;

range = 12;

maxDamage = 250; //maxDamage = health
vision = 100;

boundingBox = "2.0 2.0 2.0";
};

function terranScoutBlock::onAttack(%this, %attacker, %target)
{
%damage = %attacker.getDataBlock().baseDamage;
if(%attacker.getNetModifier().baseDamage)
%damage *= %attacker.getNetModifier().baseDamage;

%armor = %target.getDataBlock().armor;
if(%target.getNetModifier().armor)
%armor *= %target.getNetModifier().armor;

if(%damage > %armor)
%damage -= %armor;
else
%damage = 0;

%target.applyDamage(%damage);
}
