File Naming
Animation file names should use the following pattern
 * unit_ills_anime_.gif

Frame Animation Speed
Generally the animation cycle duration for a unit is 1 second. Depending on the number of frames in the animation, the animation speed will vary. There are some exceptions to the rule (Lico, Cayena, etc...), but for most units this is true.
 * 2 Frames: 500ms per Frame
 * 4 Frames: 250ms per Frame
 * 5 Frames: 200ms per Frame

Image Size/Position

 * The maximum image size is 180 x 160 (there is no minimum size requirement)
 * The unit should be horizontally centered in the image.
 * The bottom of the unit shadow should be 14px from the bottom of the image.

Where to get Animation Frames

 * I don't know where these are publicly available.
