Defines the tactical classification of a unit for AI targeting, team formation, and construction logic. Setting accurate categories is crucial for proper AI behavior.

[Valid Categories]

  • AirPower - Air Combat Support units
  • Transport - Ground Transport vehicles
  • Support - Miscellaneous Support vehicles
  • LRFS - Long Range (Indirect) Fire Support
  • IFV - Infantry Fighting Vehicles
  • AFV - Armored Fighting Vehicles
  • Recon - Reconnaissance Vehicles
  • VIP - High-priority infantry units
  • Soldier - Standard infantry units

[Technical Notes]

  • The "Civilian" category mentioned in RULES.INI is obsolete in Red Alert 2
  • Since Tiberian Sun, civilian status is set using Civilian=yes
  • Incorrect categorization will significantly impair AI effectiveness
