I saw you can only have 6 forces in a map, but I need 7. Just one more. How is it possible to make a 7th force? The reason I need 7 is because it is 6 players and each player has there own set starting location and races which uses a force setting... The computers need to be on force 7... Can anyone please help with this? |

I don't think it's possible, but you may be able to make all the enemy computer units neutral hostile and then just set all the units as neutral hostile, instead of under a specific computer player. To make a unit neutral hostile, set the race, under Stats - Race, to Creep, and set Editor - Display as Neutral Hostile to True. Hope that helps. |

Yes but there is a problem with that. Custom ai scripts... There is a trigger that runs a custom ai script for the computer... Although I can run this trigger to run the ai script for neutral hostile... The enemies in this level are humans AND orcs... Would this mean I'd have to customize my ai script accordingly to include both human and orc structures, buildings and upgrades? Would this work? Originally I planned as having 2 computer opponents, both different players but on the same force and have two custom ai scripts. |

It may work, but AI scripts aren't my cup of tea. If all else fails, you can make a copy of all the human/orc buildings/units and then make them all neutral hostile.:D |

Guest | you can do that with just 2 forces. make 1 that has all the human controlled teams in it but dont ally them. than make anouther force with the computers teams in it. it should work |

Yes but as I said, I have the Burning Legion and Naga as a playable race, and fixed player abilities... That is the only way to actually display that players races name... The burning legion and Naga would just appear to strangers of the map as the Undead or the Night elves on the selection screen... Each force is suppose to have it's name on the game screen so you know what your picking... problem is I am one short of a force, can I edit this in the mpq file? |

Guest | hmm so your saying you want this: BL player1 naga player 2 BL player3 naga player 4 BL player5 naga player 6 comp comp7 but you can only have 6 beacus of the WE. the WE only has 6 beacus its half of the max players. if you wanted 7 teams than you would take one force but NOT ally the players in it so they would act like they were on diffrent teams. you could try this if you wanted BL player1 player2 player3 naga player4 player5 player6 comp comp and not ally the teams and you should get whut you want if this dosnt help then i dont know whut will:( P.S. ...or you could name the map "naga vs BL" or "6 player comp stomp w/ naga and BL":ggani: |

The only problem with that is that then all the BL teams are allied, and so are all the Naga teams. To get around that, just don't set the teams to static (in other words, set them so that their allies can be changed when loading the map in WC). |

Guest | well i didnt really explane it but you can alwas set them to un allied. just go to the forces and dont cheak the box that says allied |
