Overview

Excerpt

...

Defines the rate at which oil derricks produce power, prior to applying any power upgrades.

 

Values

The power level setting defines the rate at which your derricks produce oil. The higher the power level, the more oil they will produce.

In Warzone 3.2+, INSANE AI players automatically get twice as much production from their derricks (see difficulty for more information).

How is it set?

For Challenge Games, choose the set the "Power" property in your .ini file to the relevant number.

For Skirmish and Multiplayer games, the power type is defined on the game set-up screen:

The order in which things are built and researched will usually be quite different depending on the power level, so your script should act accordingly.

400Low power
700Medium power
1000High power levels

For example, if your derricks have a base output of 1000 you might want to do a bit more research than you would if they were only outputting 400?
