GAME SPEED: increases or decreases the overall

speed of the game. It affects everything; movement,

construction, resource harvesting, etc. Experienced

players can increase the speed for faster games,

inexperienced players can decrease it. On lower

spec systems, reducing the game speed can give a

smoother experience.

SHARE VISION WITH ALLIES: if this is set to YES

(default), you will share your Fog of War revelations

with all players on the same team. If set to NO,

each player will have his own Fog of War.

ENHANCED UNIT LETHALITY: increases or

decreases the damage inflicted by all units.

Increase for faster games, decrease for slower

games where it’s more important to always use the

right weapon.

MAP RESOURCES: set to LOW ($30,000 per Oil

Vein), AVERAGE (default; $60,000) or HIGH

($120,000). With LOW resources, POWs and

expand bases become more important, encouraging

a more aggressive style of play. With HIGH

resources, you can more easily build a powerful

attack and defense without having to capture

expand bases and POWs.

S TA RTING RESOURCES: set to a value between

$2500 and $100,000, with $7500 as default. The

higher the value, the less important it will be to

c a p t u re expand bases, POWs and harv e s t

re s o u rce s. At $100,000, the game can be played

without any re s o u rce harvesting at all -- at $2500

you can just barely aff o rd to build your first

R e f i n e ry.

POW GENERATION: YES is default; if set to NO,

no destroyed units or structures will generate any

POWs, removing one of Task Force Talon’s

advantages over the Consortium and the U.S. Army.

Can potentially cause games to end in stalemates

when all map resources have run out and neither

side has enough offensive units to destroy the

enemy’s turrets.

RESOURCE HARVESTING SPEED: if set to LOW,

each tanker has a capacity of $500; if at AVERAGE

(default), it’s $650, and if set to HIGH, each tanker

has a capacity of $800, dramatically increasing the

speed at which you make money. Banks,

ammunition bunkers and POWs are not affected.

SHARE RESOURCES: all incomes from all players

on the same team are shared equally, with the

exception of income from repatriated pilots and

servants. All expenses are individual except

penalties if your team’s POWs are captured by an

opponent with the Hostage Ransom Demand

upgrade (or its U.S. Army/Task Force equivalents).

ALLOW TACTICAL WEAPONS: allows or bans the

use of Wolverine Missiles (U.S), Falling Stars

(Consortium) and Mjolnir Howitzers (Task Force

Talon), allowing for longer and more tactical games

if set to NO. The construction of these launcher

structures (and their counter-measure launchers)

are simply disabled in the Construction menu. Note

though that you can still deploy the Mercenary

Fireworks nuke.

ALLOW AIR STRIKES: allows or bans the use of all

types of fixed-wing aircraft (i.e. except helicopters);

the construction of Air Control Towers is simply

disabled in the Construction menu, allowing for

longer and more tactical games if set to NO and

giving the U.S. Army a disadvantage compared to

the Task Force Talon and the Consortium. Note that

Mercenary aircraft are still available.

UNIT CAP: you can set the maximum number of

units allowed, to either 50, 100, 150, or "No limit"

(default). All units (constructors, tankers, aircraft,

etc.) count as one unit. Mercenaries and tactical

weapons do not count towards the limit. It is

possible to temporarily exceed the limit if you

construct a building that comes with a “free” unit,

such as Refineries and Field Hospitals.

ALLOW MERCENARIES: allows, limits or bans the

use of mercenaries.

DESTROY ENEMY HQ: this alternative victory

condition will eliminate any player that loses his last

HQ building, thereby eliminating the need to destroy

every single enemy building to win the game.

WMD RUN (alternative victory condition): win by

having ten (10) Tactical Weapons ready to launch.

POW RUN (alternative victory condition): win by

capturing fifty (50) POWs.
