Overview
Start with an established economy and buildings, shifting the opening toward earlier army decisions.
Mode rules and player priorities
Start with an established economy and buildings, shifting the opening toward earlier army decisions. Before planning the opening, identify the mode’s special win condition, starting rules, and restrictions; these determine whether economic growth, map control, survival, or direct combat should take priority. The standard random-map plan may not fit a mode that changes starting units, technology, or the way victory is awarded.
How to use this reference
Start with an established economy and buildings, shifting the opening toward earlier army decisions. The mode defines a match objective or starting rule that can change which units and structures deserve early investment. Read its win condition before choosing an opening.
