Copyright or whatever it is called
Am I allowed to make an Era using A New Land macros and Hammer of Thurgasan units? Or do I need to just say something in the unit files?
I am very new to this, so I don't know if this is the right place for this question.

Hello, and welcome to the forums!
Yes you can! Anything on the add-on server is GNU GPL content, so it can be freely used and modified, without needing permission. If you want, you can post whatever you make back up to the add-on server without issue - just be sure to also follow the GPL. For example, no art taken from Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or any copyrighted commercial media or intellectual property - even if it's 30 years old. But taking from other add-ons is absolutely fine, as well as sites with GPL or public domain content (like http://www.opengameart.org). Anything posted to the forums here is also free to use.
Attribution is not required, but it's never bad to mention it somewhere in your add-on.
If you run into any trouble, feel free to ask!
