Map Research: Adding a third side!

m666

Objectives

The objective of the research is to find out is it possible to make a third side on a map, which is created already and and will be called the EXAMPLE map. Now, there are 2 methods I know of. One nobody will approve, but if it works, then it proves it. The Sun Edit 2K program is the first and disaproved method, and better for n00bs that don't or can't get the notepad method. We launch the Final Sun SunEdit edition and clone GDI, and use the Nod Buildings....

AND WHAT A FAILURE! Not only did I not have access to the Third Side, I was defeated by a Stealth Tank Rush!!! [about 50][/b]

Coding an entire third side on a map is going to give you a very big (>400kb for a 60x60 map) filesize, and chances are it isn't possible.

A third side could be made for a naval yard, as Morpher thought up, a mobile shipyard could deploy into a shipyard owned by the third side; but in truth owned by you, so like a captured enemy building, it can produce only the units on its side, so a new side with its own ships; you can only build ships from the shipyard.

Thus, a third side could have a use in a modded map.
