I have been modding and creating abilities, but am working blind. I don't fully understand the following parts...
Family - what does this really denote familiy of?
Level - what does this affect? Most are at one, some at 2 or 5.
ProgRate - What do the numbers (or lack of) mean here?
Param0 - 10 - what goes here, how come some have more paramaters than others? this appears to be the effects, but how do you know where to put what?
StrParam0 - what does this mean?
Area - is this a placeholder, or have an effect? Presently is not used in any ability
ListParams0 - This appears to be based on geography
ListParams1 - This appears to represent a firendly unit it affects
ListParams2 - This appears to represent an enemy unit it affects
Any help to understand what these mean will be appreciated. I am planning a few more abilities to get effects of army commanders upon their corps, as well as different ways of representing combat strengths and weaknesses in individuals.

Family is an integer telling the program that 2 abies of the same class (BattleBonusAbi is a class or kind) don't cumulate (if they have the same value).
Level: some abilities don't start at level 1 for some leaders, it can boost their efficiency.
ProgRate: Number of experience level of the unit/leader to get +1 level in this ability.
Param0 to 17/18: variable depending of the ability class.
strparam0: first parameter, string type. used for multi nation abies for example.
the file I sent you should help you understand the role of each column.
area: for leader level abies only, the area where the abi works.
ListParams0: the terrain where the abi works. Leader & stack level only.
ListParams1: yes
ListParams2: yes
