Starting Bases |

This option sets
the base level and research trees with which the game will
start with. |
No Base:
Start at the
beginning of the research tree, with trucks being the only
units given to you. |
Base:
Start with a
standard base already built, including some resources
already on-line. Early research has been conducted. |
Advanced Base:
Start with a
defended base and advanced structures. Initial research has
been conducted allowing you to
specialize in almost any area you like. The Force Editor is
also available (see later). |

Rankings |
|
As you play
multiplayer games you amass a series of kills and begin to
develop a reputation. These symbols indicate how successful
you have been. They act as a warning to other players, or as
a challenge to defeat you to reduce your ranking. Stars
indicate your skill and the medals rank you against the
other players in the game. In the example to the right, this
player is the host (green circle), black is her team color,
her ranking is rookie, and her game player name is
displayed. |
