me and my mate have been playing fort quite a bit but we've never been on the same side since we bought the game, i also seem to be always red team and him blue, i was just wondering if there's a way to play on the same side?

Hi Dougz,

Unfortunately there is no way to change the team alliances in Forts when playing online in a Player match.

However, since the last Title Update you can in a Private match. Move the cursor over a player and press the Left shoulder button. This will bring up a dialogue which will allow you to modify the Alliance settings for that player. However, because the game is private, you'll have to invite people to it.

You can also change the alliance settings in local matches, by highlighting the teams at the bottom and pressing [x] to modify the team settings.

Hope this helps!
