about multi-MCV:
As I see, you want have one-MCV per county, isn't it?

this is already possible with the Owner= tag. its how i emulate 8 sides. my area of expertise in RA2:YR modding

note: last time i tested this was back in 1.07(although the side was incomplete, i was testing its doability), unless CnCVK has changed the BaseUnit= code, after PD's change, to limit it to only 4 units(i think PD said he made it work for upto 32), you shouldn't have any problems, not even short game explosions.
note: my yuri county is no longer YuriCountry, but YuriPrime and YuriElite. YuriCountry is my yuri subside.

Code:

[General]
BaseUnit=AMCV,SMCV,PCV,TMCV,EMCV,VMCV,PMCV,RMCV

[Sides]
GDI=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance, EinsteinCountry
Nod=Russians,Africans,Confederation,Arabs,Ukraine, RussiaElite
ThirdSide=YuriPrime,YuriElite,YuriCountry
FourthSide=CDA,CivicRepublic

[AMCV]
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance

[VMCV]
Owner=Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs, Ukraine

[PCV]
Owner=YuriElite,YuriPrime

[TMCV]
Owner=CDA

[EMCV]
Owner=EinsteinCountry

[VMCV]
Owner=RussiaElite

[PMCV]
Owner=YuriCountry

[RMCV]
Owner=CivicRepublic

result is that allied start with AMCV, soviets SMCV etc, einstein starts with EMCV etc
allies and einstein share AIBasePlanningSide=0, and other allied tags, so, the ai will always build the allied powerplant, and get GIs from sold/destroyed buildings etc.
the rest of the rules is a complete mingle of AlternatePrerequisite=, the first 1 to note(and possibly the only 1 on the allied side) would be [GAPOWR] having Prerequisite=GACNST and AlternatePrerequisite=EACNST.(see problem 1)(simular problem to why in the original rules all allied radar prerequisites use RADAR instead of GAAIRC, they also have AMRADR)
also, Owner= is a bit complex too, because if you want einstein AI to be able to have something, but not Allied AI, you have to make sure it reads Owner=EinsteinCountry, and vica versa for allied but not einstein.(see problem 2) unless you do lots of ForbiddenHouses= and RequiredHouses=, but that makes capturing other sides or subsides pretty much impossable.

the only 2 real problems to note are:
1. only 1 AlternatePrerequisite= tag means only 1 subside per side. which is 1 reason why i asked for multiple alternate prerequisite tags, not just the 1. it also poses a problem for things like Prerequisite=GAWEAP,GATECH AlternatePrerequisite=EAWEAP,EATECH, because you must own either the allied war factory and the allied battle lab, or the einstein war factory and the einstein lab, and it doesn't work if you own the allied war factory with einstein lab, or einstein war factory and allied battle lab.
2. with the seperation of owners it forces allied units to come from allied factories, soviet units from soviet factories, etc, basicly, another sinkhole for NCO mistakes, although the effect of building a grizzly followed by a rhyno, and the grizzy coming from the allied factory, then the rhyno coming from the soviet factory is pretty neat.(see my Dog Kennel Tutorial.)


what he might mean is being able to start with more than 1 MCV, like unholy alliance, however in UA you start with all listed MCVs, i'm thinking mad wants you to be able to select a specific 2, which would require a change in the way MCVs are chosen. the most simple 1 i can think of is that it gives you ALL units on the BaseUnit= tag with the correct owner, and not just the first 1 it finds.

No. and at first you must prove it
