	How To Switch Control With AI?? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I want to replay a game I won and switch places with the AI midway thru and see if I can beat my old empire from the AI's position.

In the chat window, I tried typing
/detach 1
/attach 2
But nothing happens.
Is there a way to switch places with the AI?
Thanks

Troll--

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, and yes, it did save the file with a different nation letters attached-- I even quit the game & re-started, loaded the new file, but I still have control of my old nation.

I'm playing with CTP2 with the ctp2Patch1_11 installed.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

	Got spare money?

Thanks for the comeback so fast again.
But I have had no luck with this.

Lemme try to get it again...
There are 4 possible things on the EMPIRE screen to fuss with.
On the left side of the screen are: the "Player #" "Country" "Leader Name" and on the right hand side, "Player Choice"

What do you do? Leave the "Player #" at "1" and just change the Country? or do you change anything else?

What I last did was: loaded the game, played a few rounds to make sure none of my troops had movement. Then changed "Country" only, went thru a bunch of more rounds (but still the computer has not given me control of the other country) then I save the game (and it saves it as the other country) then I exit the game, re-load the game and load the saved game.
I'm thinking that I have to change the Player# or something else.
Anyway... not having any luck with this.
Is there something else I'm missing?
Thanks again for the help.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Seems I have a problem with my saved file.
I went back to a much earlier saved game, when there were 7 nations, and I found that when you toggle thru the Player #'s the country and Leader name changes along with the number change. Just select the Player # and then exit and YOU HAVE THAT NATION!
With the saved game file I was trying, when you change the Player #, nothing changed in the country or Leader name. I had to specifically select the country. Somewhere along the way, the file must have become corrupted in a small way.
Too bad, because I have to go so far back to find a saved file that will allow me to change AI control that it is not worth re-playing the game from that point.
Thanks very much for all your help with this.
I guess I'll try the AI Frenzy file....
All the best...
