How to set up more-than-2 faction battles:
* modify or overlay map_config.xml at e.g. media\packages\vanilla\maps\map5, and add another faction e.g. <faction file="brown.xml" />
* download and set up any skin package found at Mods sub forum, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1020
* modify brown.xml at e.g. media\packages\vanilla\factions\brown.xml or provide it through overlay, and add brown faction models in it; you may need to modify the skin package model naming so that the names won't collide with green or grey soldier models, depending on how the skin package has been made
* run the game and load the map you set up for 3 factions, or, load your 3 faction battle overlay for any map, depending on what you just did
