Theater

This is chosen when a new map is first created. The type of environment the scenario takes place in. See "Theater Types"

Houses

A side, GDI/Nod etc. Holdover from Dune II.

Name	Description
`BadGuy`	Brotherhood of Nod (Nod)
`GoodGuy`	Global Defense Initiative (GDI)
`Multi1-6`	Used for the players in a multiplayer match, of which there can be up to six.
`Neutral`	Civilians
`Special`	Disaster Containment Team (dino scenarios)

Theater Types

Refers to the setting for the scenario. This primarily determines the graphics used for the map, ambient sounds, etc.

Index	Name	Notes
-1	`(none)`	No Theater
0	`desert`	Desert. Where the Nod campaign takes place
1	`jungle`	Not used.
2	`temperate`	Temperate. Where most of the GDI campaign takes place.
3	`winter`	Tile set very similar to "temperate" but with a subtle snow covering on everything.

Reinforcement Source Types

A method of delivering reinforcements.

Index	Name	Notes
-1	`(none)`	No source
0	`North`	North edge of map. Starting x coordinate is chosen randomly from those where the cell just outside the bounds of the map, and the cell adjacent to it inside the bounds, are clear. Thus impassable land can be placed outside the map bounds to constrain the possible starting positions.
1	`East`	East edge of map. Starting y coordinate is chosen randomly from those where the cell just outside the bounds of the map, and the cell adjacent to it inside the bounds, are clear. Thus impassable land can be placed outside the map bounds to constrain the possible starting positions.
2	`South`	South edge of map. Starting x coordinate is chosen randomly from those where the cell just outside the bounds of the map, and the cell adjacent to it inside the bounds, are clear. Thus impassable land can be placed outside the map bounds to constrain the possible starting positions.
3	`West`	West edge of map. Starting y coordinate is chosen randomly from those where the cell just outside the bounds of the map, and the cell adjacent to it inside the bounds, are clear. Thus impassable land can be placed outside the map bounds to constrain the possible starting positions.
4	`Shipping`	Shipping lane. Not selectable in editor but automatically selected if the reinforcement is a gunboat. Boat is put into guard mode and told to sail east to west and back again. Start position is on the east edge, aligned with the northmost row of cells consisting soley of water.
5	`Beach`	Selects beach to land upon. Not selectable in editor but automatically selected if team contains a landing hovercraft. Lander begins at the south edge of the map, just outside the bounds, and is told to head north in a straight line and unload once it reaches land. Starting x coordinate is chosen by finding those where there is a column of sea cells from the starting y coordinate to a clear land cell with two additional clear land cells north of that. The algorithm then narrows this list down to those entries where the x coordinates to the immediate east and west of it are also in the list or, if there are no such entries, it keeps the original list. Finally the entry 3/4 of the way through this list, when ordered west to east, is selected. If Theater type is "desert", the start position is one cell further south.
6	`Air`	Dropped by air. Not selectable in editor but selected automatically if team contains a transport helicopter. If team also contains units to go inside it, transport is not controllable by the player and is told to unload on arrival. If team is just the transport, it moves in and becomes controllable by the player. Landing position is on the reinforcements waypoint (#27) unless this cell is occupied, in which case the game chooses a random, in-bounds, unoccupied cell up to 6 cells from the waypoint, prefering closer cells. If the waypoint isn't defined, the cell currently in the top-left corner of the tactical view is used (presumably for debugging purposes). The transport flies in from a random cell along the House's reinforcements edge (see Map Settings), similarly to how "North", "East", "South" and "West" reinforcements arrive. Note that even for flying units, cells along the edge that are occupied or contain impassible land will not be selected. Also note that if the team is given a mission list, this will override its default destination.
7	`Visible`	Not used. Dropped at a random cell from those currently inside the tactical view and within the bounds of the map, i.e. where the player can see. Ignored for reinforcements belonging to the player.
8	`Enemy Base`	Not used. Does nothing.
9	`Home Base`	Not used. Does nothing.
10	`Ocean`	Not used. Does the same thing as "Beach".
