grouping help
okay, i am trying to group the regions on the world map. I am wanting to make three super regions. One combines north and south america. the other combines europe, africa, russia and the middle east. the other combines south asia, india pakistan, oceania.
i am wanting to make it a degree more difficult and have three super regions, because now taking out each region themselves is too easy.
thanks.

So what exactly do you need help with?

okay, i tried to group north and south america, i used the following code
2,0,0,0, 3,2,99,3,0,
although its not working, what am i doing wrong? i put it in the GMT file, do i have to upload it or whatever?
what file should i do? what folder? i copied all of the world files to the custom folder and tried to do that, should i do it in the regular folder?

An added note... if you want to see how we have used grouping for a few of the maps released with the game take a look at any of the following GMC files:
Adriatics.GMC
Balkans.GMC
Italy.GMC
(we have many more maps with custom groups as well)
These three files use the same "map file" of "Adriatics" - first line - gamfile: "Adriatics".
In each GMC file the &&Groupings section has groupings playable in each map. The Balkans.GMC groups Italian regions to World Market Territory and the Italy.GMC groups Balkan regions to World Market. The Adriatics.GMC contains two groupings to allow different starting points in the game using the entire Adriatics map.

Did you get it to work?

I'm wondering if you got that grouping thing to work? Did you get to control both North America and South America or did you control North America while the AI muffed up South America? Did it just give you two regions rather than one unified whole? I'm really looking for something that would combine different regions into unified regions. I was looking to do just two regions, the Americas versus the rest of the world.
Thanks,
