Creating a side using Era or Modification
Hello there,
I'd like to write a rebellion system to either implement in my Era or as a standalone modification.
When a leader is killed, instead of losing it's win condition, I intent to make two units of that faction into leaders, put one of them in a different (ai controlled) side and randomly assign all remaining units to either of the sides. Once one of the new leaders dies, all units under their control go to the winner's side.
What exactly I need:
After searching the Wiki I haven't found a way to create a side through an event, so I'm hoping that there's some way to create one or more empty sides at the start of the MP match through the Era of the match or a modification, so that I can later use those sides once a rebellion happens.
Any help or alternative ways to archive this are appreciated.

So pretty much the only way to make this work is putting the sides in a multiplayer scenario to begin with?

Re: Creating a side using Era or Modification
Maybe you can put sides into scenario start and make them hidden.
More informations here.
Then you can change sides of units. Or at least I hope.

Hi! I just wanted to say that this is a really great idea!!! I would love to see it turn out 
As EarthCake suggested, one option is that you can start of with an extra side for every team (like when the game is created, create an extra side for each team that is playing), so doubling the team number. Then you can implement your idea with the rebellion side pretty easily.
