I don't understand the AI problem.
I have a 4th side enabled so an extra MCV, but i never saw the AI complaining.
Did you also edited the ownertag on the CY? And on the Powerplant. I discovered that you always have to edit the owner of the powerplant to make it work fine. And never forget that the AI only builds something when it has the same house as an owner and when you edit the side the AI might pick the origional one so it's better to delete the allied houses out of the owner tag

I've made a fourth side before, too (I'm not trying to now, though.) You need to turn Quick Game off and the AI never deploys the fourth MCV.

And what method are you using, Infraid? Does the game crash when a computer player is using the extra Yuri?

When you say a 4th side, does it mean a non-Allies, non-Soviet, and non-Yuri Country ? (with their own buildings, units & techtree) If so, I can't help you..
Else, if you're just plannig to change a Side into another one, I don't understand why you used the 4th side trick that gives you so much restrictions (always QuickGame off, paradrops/free units prob, etc..)

Basically I replaced German by 2ndYuri, here is what I made :
- I removed [Germans] section //to have a 4All-4Sov-2Yur
- I added [YuriLegion] by copy-paste [YuriCountry] //which btw became [YuriPsychic])

And here's my changes in the [Countries] section :

0=Americans (;Xxxxx was original value)
1=Alliance
2=French
3=British ;German
4=Russians ;British
5=Africans
6=Arabs
7=Confederation
8=YuriLegion ;Russians
9=YuriPsychic ;YuriCountry
10=GDI
11=Nod
12=Neutral
13=Special

And in the [Sides] section :

GDI=British,French,Americans,Alliance ;Germans
Nod=Russians,Africans,Arabs,Confederation
ThirdSide=YuriLegion,YuriPsychic ;YuriCountry
Civilian=Neutral
Mutant=Special

Note1 : if you let 3=Russians and 4=British, in the selection screen you'ld have the same order, meaning US->KOR->FR->RU->GB->LYB->...("harcoded" stuff) which is not harmonious.
Note2 : you can then remove British instead of German (I just wanted to remove Germany )
Note3 : you'll have to remove Germans in the whole file, as well as replace YuriCountry by YuriPsychic,YuriLegion (thx god Ctrl-H exists). If you do this, you'll get a (perfect?) clone of the original YuriCountry.
Note4 : you'll have to change all thoses little country flags, loading screen and some UINames/CSF entries (if you can't find by yourself, you can ask me, I'll list the complete changes)
Note5 : you'll certainly have to modif a bit the aimd.ini (didn't touch it yet:/)

Everything's working fine, I guess, either with the starting MCV or the good Paradrop you get. Till today, I've never encounter an IE (err.. coz of this). I hope theses are the only modif I made, coz it's been REALLY a while since I changed that.. In fact, this was the first thing I worked on.
Well.. try it and tell me if there's anything :tard: or with that.

AAAAAARGH!! Put it back! Put it back in! Now! AAAAAAARGH

ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?! You can't just delete sections and add new ones!! :dead: :dead: And you can't reorder the country-list either, I thought...does this stuff really work?

Plus I'm not very amused that you kicked out Germany...

L :lol: lz! Of course he kicks Germany out, it's no match for the Libian, Cuban, Russian, Iraqi or Psychic dude army and therefore has no use in RA2 .

[premier89]

Darn. The Germans are awesome, why kick them out?

Why the Fatherland!?! *Starts crying*

Sorry guys, I won't...
German are just too similar to French in terms of Technologies... I mean both of them use bullets as main weap (Tank Destroyer, Grand Cannon), thus I gave french the "Howitzer", but removed the TnkDest instead.... coz it just looks like the new Artillerie
Besides, i had to choose between French and German, so if you just look at my Location, you'll understand my choice :lol:

err.. should tell me which one to take as well (coz I don't know)

[premier89]

Replace the Americans! Wait...

Or you could combine the two countries... and get the best of both worlds. Francermany.

[ComradeJ]

You do realise that'd be the most unstable country since ...err... ever, do you?
