Hi Zak,
I am actually trying that, although currently not with another team. I just
wanted to see it in action before committing.
My problem right now is that when the points dictating whent eh unit
"rebels" reaches zero, the unit does change, but also duplicates. This is
very strange behavior, since this does not work like this for the structures
that a player can place which get converted to their evil version.
The warden is also not affected, as is a second unit called a wraith and
fades in and out of the ethereal polain.
Yet, on a second attempt with a unit to copy the warden, I practically left
the unit (which was the rogue) and it did the same thing, while the warden
still remained not a problem.
Somewhere there is just one thing that seems to make the difference but for
the life of me I can't figure it out.

Maybe you could use the transform script to change it into a fourth team
which is enemies with both teams 1 and 2. That way it would attack the enemy
without becoming one of your units.
