NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
Is there a way I can have an NPC faction share ownership of a hex with the player, I tried doing that in a scenario I'm working on with the player being Japanese and the NPC faction also being Japanese but I was unable to do so. Any help in this endeavor would be most helpful.

Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
I have just realized that this option "Team share Victory Points" is not compulsory.
Without Teams share Victory Points :
Flags of the nation but Location in different colors :
With Team share Victory points :
Flags in the colour of the first team (red)
With the units (without Team share Victory Points):
Maybe you can also use Core Units for Human and Nocore for AI or change the names...

Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
another thing I have to ask that is some what related to this is that in the Japanese grand campaign they had two factions representing the Japanese, one with the regular flag of japan the other with the rising sun flag. When I go to the editor however the one with the rising sun flag is not available. So is there a way to get it in the editor?
Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
The missing faction is probably due to it being listed as noEditor in the factions.txt file.
For some reason several factions are suffering from this, even if you have purchased all campaigns.
Just delete the noEditor entry and save.
[IJN]
id = 13
theme = japan
noEditor

Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
Missing factions for me :
- IJN (Imperial Japan)
- USARMY (blue Team)
- REDUSA (Red Team)
- RAF
Is it a BUG

Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
No it is not. Previously you needed duplicated factions and unit entries to have two alliances using same equipment. With new update duplicated unit entries are not necessary anymore so leftovers got noEditor tag.terminator wrote: Is it a BUG

Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
I wanted to make a scenario in which two teams of the same nation are in confrontation (training mission).
Red VS Blue :
The units of the various factions are easy to identify but flags are strictly identical (the flag of the blue team should be blue) :

Re: NPC factions and sharing hex ownership with the Player
I would like to rectify a previous comment: it is possible to distinguish the flag of the red team of that of the blue team but only by adding a "location" :
