I am trying to even out the nations in my YR mod. My plan is 3 allied, 3 soviet, and 2 yuri nations.
Yet every time I try adding a new nation, and taking them out, I get a Npatch error. What should I do? What files should I post to help?

Post your [Countries] list & any changes you have made to the countries listed. Removing things from this list is a big no no & will make the game crash, which I presume is your problem.

Yeah, no need to remove anything from this list. Just put Multiplay=no on the countries you dont want selectable and then NewPlayableCountries=-2 under [General]

OK, and for a second, how do I add a country to Yuri's side?

Also make sure that all countries are lined up with the proper side, like Side=GDI for allies, Side=NOD for sovs, Side=ThirdSide(Is this correct? I'm not near a rules.ini file atm) for Yuri. I have had a few instances of incorrect side numbers/names causing errors. If you have a multiplay country with, say, Side=neutral/mutants/special, it causes errors when you try to play as that country, or if the AI selects the country at random.

AFAIK, with NPatch, this is no different than adding other countries. If you need an example, look up Mental Omega. If you open the EXE up with XCC mod launcher, you can get the Rulesmd.ini file to see how they did it.

Well if your using an existing country just move that country over to ThirdSide under the [Sides] section, then put Side=ThirdSide on the [country section] for it to use Yuri's sidebar. Finally make sure that country is listed for all Yuri buildings, units etc.
