I'm pretty sure you can't mark 'em "enemy" in WarCraft 3 -- there's a "toggle" box but you can't click it on or off.
I'd be happy to pay with you some time. :) A couple of notes on multi-player play:
-- You can play on Blizzard's Battlenet (same as with StarCraft). They have a very nice game-matching feature that works pretty well if you're by yourself. It's not so good if you want to play with a specific partner. You can do an "arranged team" game, but your opponents tend to be MUCH BETTER than their level indicates. So unless you and your partner are very good AND good at working together as a team, you're likely to get stomped 75% or more of the time. I do NOT recommend starting your multiplayer WC3 experience by picking another friend who just finished the campaign, partnering up, and hopping on the net. Unless you like losing. A lot. :) Otherwise, it's a disheartening experience.
--If you want to improve in a less unequal environment, I recommend playing against people in random-team games, or one-on-one. I like three-on-three best, and am rather bad at one-on-one despite my extensive 3x3 experience.
--If you want to play with friends (like me!) just for fun, and not worry about getting stomped, setting up a team game against the computer is fun, too. At least it is now that you can set the opponents to varying levels of difficulty. (While the original Warcraft 3 allowed you to set the campaign at "Normal" or "Hard", map play had only one setting: "Nearly Impossible." You can download the patch by going into Battlenet, if you haven't yet.) I find human opponents a bit more intereesting and varied, but playing against the computer is OK.
--If you want to play head-to-head, that's cool, too. :)
