You CANNOT add anymore sides. You could concievably add new countries by hacking the exe and altering the array data that the houses use, but the side stuff (AI mainly such as base planning side as well as different battle labs and such things) cannot be increased beyond 3 feasibly without the source code to the game.

I made special appear as an option in for RA2 skirmish, I tried the same thing and other things, but could not activate it as a choice in YR.

When I tried to play as special, the game got an internal error.

There is no way to add sides(short of changing the source code and recompiling the whole game), only to change the existing ones.

Changing the side is as good as adding em...to me that is.But you can add side in .map files like badguyhouse right?

maps are a special case, you can add extra houses to do things in a map. But you can't add an extra side that is user controlled.

you can add a side, for example for the people in a village that you put on your map. I only make maps to test things, so I don't know as much as others do about them.
