i think you can do that if you play it as a demo map (my maps never work because there always is a terrain issue)

In Alpha 5 it's not possible to set that in Atlas, it is possible to set it in the XML file though. Probably easier to wait until Alpha 6 is released where more control over players is included in Atlas

The location depends on where the map file is saved, and that in turn depends on what operating system you're using, on Windows it's %appdata%\0ad\cache\mods\public\maps\scenarios (just copy-and-paste that into the address bar) on Linux I'm not sure exactly where it is, though I assume it's something like ~.0ad/data/public/maps/scenarios Someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Either way, when you've found the map file open the [map_name].xml file and find the lines which are surrounded by the <scriptSettings> tag. Below is that part from the Acropolis map:

	<scriptSettings><![CDATA[
{
  "Name": "Acropolis",
  "Description": "Four Greek cities duke it out on a gigantic round map. Each city starts on a large flat plateau, or 'Acropolis' and comes with a group of important civic buildings and a battalion of soldiers. The map represents central Greece around the area of Boeotia and Attica.",
  "PlayerData": [
    {
      "Civ": "hele",
      "Resources": {
        "food": 250,
        "wood": 250,
        "metal": 250,
        "stone": 250
      },
      "Team": 0
    },
    {
      "Civ": "hele",
      "Resources": {
        "food": 250,
        "wood": 250,
        "metal": 250,
        "stone": 250
      },
      "Team": 0
    },
    {
      "Civ": "hele",
      "Resources": {
        "food": 250,
        "wood": 250,
        "metal": 250,
        "stone": 250
      },
      "Team": 1
    },
    {
      "Civ": "hele",
      "Resources": {
        "food": 250,
        "wood": 250,
        "metal": 250,
        "stone": 250
      },
      "Team": 1
    }
  ],
  "CircularMap": true,
  "Keywords": []
}
]]></ScriptSettings>

Then to each player add the "Team": 0 (or 1, 2, 3 for up to four different teams). It should go right before the closing curly bracket for each civ.

Setting teams will be much easier in Alpha 6, so rejoice. But for now, just add the "team" line in the map's XML as Erik has shown you and all the secrets of the rock n' roll Universe will be revealed.

Thank you very much sir.

I have to correct you if you allow me:

The directory is:

AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public\maps\scenarios

Keep the good job this game OWNZ!!!
