Hello, Barry. Welcome.
Well, there is no easy way to answer that!--the best way I could help you: try going up to the "Show topics from last 10 days," on Aployton's CTP-Creation or -General forums, hit the little arrow, and select "Show all topics." This will give a bunch of pages with threads containing all you need to know to start you out.

Better yet, try the search engine here and search for specific word in which you're interested.

Try also, in the Downloads' section, any documentation by CD on his mod and discoveries in CTP, very helpful stuff; as well, for units and advances, wonders, etc., try downloading something that Harlan put together on the subject--he has a few very handy guides and read me's which assist people who want to start modifying CTP.

Once you become familiar with some things, I'd also suggest the Easy Mod program in the CTP Downloads area--saves hours of manual work, I found, but it has limitations (and bugs).
For the AI, well, that's the hardest part; maybe start out with something easier first. Some understanding of gamedata text file modification is very handy when you want to get into the fli and aip files.
If not, look around for any threads here or the General section regarding AIPs, Aidata files, AAIPS (Awesome Aips), Diplomacy AI, et cetera--you'll find a ton of info on these subjects, much from Wes Whitaker and myself.

Hope this helps.
