You could make a side start with no units and then spawn some based on an event. From the player's perspective this looks a lot like adding a new side.

You can fiddle with the side visibility so the player does not see the empty side at all until you're ready to expose it. See [modify_side]hidden=yes|no. See, in the current master, The South Guard, scenario 07A "Into the Depths" for some examples.
I forked real life and now I'm getting merge conflicts.
