rules.js

Each human player in a game will have an associated rules.js script assigned to them. It runs for the duration of the game.

The rules.js script is responsible for applying and monitoring game rules, and providing in-game situation reporting (SitRep) to the human player.

Game Rules

There are three key parts to the game rules as follows:

• Player Initialisation Rules – set up technologies, components, base type, starting power, etc.
• Mini Map and Design Mode – enable or disable based on presence of HQ (Command Centre)
• Victory Conditions – check if the game is won or lost

You should make yourself familiar with all of them, even if you have no intention of modding them.

Situation Reporting (SitRep)

Realtime (or near-realtime) reporting of important events taking place in the game.
