The faction names are unchanged, they're still called America and China in the INIs. And if it's AIData that's causing it, what exactly is it?
Something strange going on...

Solved it. Apparently the AI always gets the first building in its build list (AIData.ini) as its start building. So I just changed AmericaCommandCenter and ChinaCommandCenter into AlliedConstructionYard and SovietConstructionYard, and that solved it.
The next problem was the AI selling its CY immediately, but I just disabled the "Sell Off" folder for both sides and that fixed that too.

When I added factions I just added a small letter on the model so I could tell that used the new faction CC as the starting unit and it started fine without changing the build list. Go figure...

I'm having this problem too. I've added the command truck to GLA but AI turns this truck into command center building. :?
This is not AI problem. This is INI code.
You say: "So the AI basically just ignored...".
No. All is OK. AI transforms one building into another one.

In your case, creator, the build list has overridden the command truck, because the faction name is still the same, and the playertemplate.ini has a different startingbuilding defined than the build list.

Hmm.... Build list you say? I'm not sure. I've fixed this bug by removing "FS_COMMANDCENTER" flag from command truck code. And GLA have another start building. U are right.

As far as I have been able to experience the precedence list goes like this, from lowest to highest:
INI Code>BuildList>Scripts
The scripts have ultimate precendence.. at least that is what it looks like

Meaning that if you somehow reassign the start building through a script, it always works. Right?

Yes it always work.
In PlayerTemplate.ini:
StartingBuilding = GLAFactory
StartingUnit0 = GLAVehicleDozer
StartingUnit1 = GLAVehicleCommandTruck
No script editing. No build list editing.

There'll be a tutorial about how to do the scripts for new factions later when there is a wee bit of time.
