[SpecialFlags]- Value
- boolean
- When omitted
- UnchangedThe scenario's special options are set up once when the game starts and are not reset between missions, so a campaign mission that omits the key keeps whatever the previously played mission established. Only the first mission of a session finds the initial value, no.
The flag is read for every scenario but consulted in one place: the routine that places each house’s opening units around its starting waypoint. That routine runs only outside campaign play, so a campaign scenario carrying the setting is unaffected.
[SpecialFlags]InitialVeteran=yesOnly the units and infantry drawn from the random starting selection are promoted. The construction vehicle placed when the match is set up with bases is created separately and stays a rookie.
