No. Let us be your guide.

thanks for help!

its so hard to test something

i must change team before i start but can not change ~_~ team 2 has open spot and i click on other team name ..... but can not change to team 2 ??

i try in defense map and i can change team easy ..... its only my map i can not?? thank you for any help

You need to make sure there are human players on each force that have start locations.

You also can't change to teams (forces) with computer players on them.

Oh totally didnt realize that lol.

o jjf it was computer thanks

how to let computer be my team then?

You can have computer players on your team, but you can't switch to forces that have computer players on them. So if you edit the forces to include yourself and a computer player on the same force, that will be fine.

you can only make one team??

You can have up to four teams, and if you want a computer player on your team, just edit the forces to include yourself and the computer on the same force. Just click on Scenario and then Forces, and make sure you're on the same force as the computer. So if you're player 1 and the computer is player 2, make sure players 1 and 2 are on the same force.

4 teams + 1 computer on the teams so 4 computer

a team is human and computer

you can pick team too

how to do this?

cant do this??

There are only 4 forces, and you cannot move to a force with a computer on it.

So no you cannot have both the ability to switch between forces and an arrangement like...

You can however do something like...or
and use the check boxes to set whether they initially share vision/are allied, then set the appropriate alliances between players and their computers (using triggers) in-game.

thank you again this is very much more help then i expect

You can set player colors in the Map Description section, but you can't change them mid-game. The best you could do to give a player a different colored unit is to have a rescueable computer, because rescued units retain their original color. If you need computer units to have different colors and they won't be involved in any sort of combat, you can also give a unit to the player color you want and then to Player 9-12, because units given to those players retain their color.

The Rescuable unit approach is not very good as each rescuable computer is essentially useless and is just a "hero color". If you want to switch "teams" then I recommend you have 2 forces, one with all the humans and another with all the computers. Slot 1 would usually be red, slot 2 blue, etc...

You can also choose your player's starting location (not the start location, just the location which the player has its units) via triggers and a choice mechanism similar to choosing a country in Diplomacy.
