House

The country whose house in the match owns teams built from this TeamType.

Specification

Applies to

TeamType

File

ai.ini or map file

Section

[<ObjectType ID>]

Value

HouseType

When omitted

none

The value names a country, matched against every registered country’s ID and its Name= string, and the team is given whichever house in the match is playing it. A country no house is playing resolves to nothing, and so does <none> — an unrecognized name is not rejected, it registers a fresh country under that name, which by definition nobody is playing. Omitting the key keeps whatever an earlier layer set.

ai.ini or map file

[MyRaidTeam] ; example TeamType
Name=Raid team
House=Nod
TaskForce=MyRaidForce ; defined under [TaskForces]
Script=MyRaidScript   ; defined under [ScriptTypes]

The owner settles who the team’s members are created for and who they may be recruited from — a candidate of any other house is refused outright — and it is the house the team counts against for the defensive-team census and the per-house team limit.

An AI trigger ignores this setting

A team raised through the AI trigger pass is created for the house whose pass raised it, whatever country this key names. The setting decides the owner only where a team is created from the TeamType alone: the Reinforcement (team) and Create Team trigger actions. A Change team mission hands the new team the old team’s house instead.

A team with no owner faults on its first logic pass

Both paths that read this key go ahead whether or not it resolved, and neither the delivery routine nor the team logic checks that an owner is there. A reinforcement faults where it reads the owner’s map edge to bring the group in; a team from the Create Team action faults on its first logic pass, where the recruitment gate reads the owner. A misspelled country name, or a country the rules register but no house in this match is playing, is enough to reach either.
