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).

 

Alliances

In Team Games, alliances are automatically available. In Campaign and Skirmish games, the Host can allow or disallow alliances.

 

 

Allow Alliances:

 

Players may ally with one another.

 

 

 

No Alliances:

 

A dog-eat-dog free for all game.

 

 

 

Computer:

 

Add a little extra mayhem by adding computer opponents (see game types).

 

 

 

Player Color:

 

Eight clan colors are available. Each clan is assigned a color by the computer. No clan can have the same color as another clan.

 

 

 

Changing Your Assigned Color:

 

Select the flag to the left of your name and rank, then select any of the colors currently available.

 

 

 
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.
