What is the maximum number of sides that can be in the OOB? WOuld it be possible to have side 1 = French, side 2 = British, side 3 = Prussian, etc.?

Not sure how 3 'sides' would work, but I am working on an OOB that has side A with 2 armies and side B with 3 armies, however each 'side' has an overall commander.

The 5 army OOB does load correctly. (paying close attention to strict CVS protocol)

I doubt 3 sides can work. How does the AI know which is enemy and which is friendly unless there's a csv file somewhere that defines this.

I don't actually want a 3-sided battle. I want to use the side number designation for toolbar purposes. The current system does not allow for country specific toolbars unless it is of the floating variety. It wasn't a well thought out change and I am trying to find ways to deal with the shortcomings.

A 2nd question I have, is there a #army variable that can be accessed in the toolbar?

In the AI for know this you use the rank function with eRankArmy as parameter, but in the gui function you can use only the #rank without parameter, so it return only the rank level of unit checked.
