Mode rules and player priorities

A fast-paced ruleset that accelerates villager gathering and construction, and speeds up most building production. In Definitive Edition, Turbo is an advanced setting that can be enabled alongside supported game modes. 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.
