Now I want the AI to start out skirmishes with an extra MCV but not players. Is this possible and how?

Right, TibEd doesn't support this value (I guess) and if I edit it manually, I can't edit it with TibEd anymore (cuz tibed recreates the rules??.ini file.
where are these AI tags?
also, Are the teamtype values in the AI.ini the sames as in the original C&C, cuz there you could create map-specific triggers and teamtypes too. I really want to edit them too since I got all these new units
just wondering...
I like Tibed, RA2, Yuri's revenge and applepie!
