Mode rules and player priorities
A timed truce prevents hostile action between players until the selected treaty period expires. Use the protected time to develop an economy and prepare an army before fighting begins. 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.
