How to initialise player technologies, buildings, base type effects, determine victory (win/lose) conditions and send situation reports to players...

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)

See:

Situation Reporting (SitRep)

The game rules scripting lives in rules.js.

Check out Enhanced SitRep Mod for an example of a heavily customised rules.js.
