MultiplayPassive

Flag:	MultiplayPassive
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0
Default:	false
Applicable to:	Countries

Is the country a 'Passive' country? such as the original Neutral and Special types.

Notes

Such countries and their owned objects will be unable to use certain map actions and trigger certain map events.

If a human player uses such a country, they will not possess any initial units nor face defeat conditions.

• However, since the entire map is covered by shroud, the player will only see a pitch-black screen and an empty sidebar.
  • By assigning vision to specific owners, this can easily create an observer country.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

Here 'passive' primarily refers to strategies of regular countries against them.

• For example, when a unit takes damage from such a country, it will not attempt to counterattack.
  • In Tiberian Sun, this caused significant losses to human players facing Visceroids.
    • Starting from Ares 0.7, you can control this behavior through new flags^↓.
