## Game Modes
- Added Faction Wars (a Btyb bounty!), allowing players to select a subfaction.
- This mode is very much in a "minimum viable product" stage, and only Terran factions exist right now, with very few changes compared to stock Terrans... but it should still be neat!
2023-11-15 20:26:11 +00:00
## AI
- Mappers can now set Mineral Field type 1 deaths to control the faction of AI. This is preliminary support as factions continue to receive development.
- See [this page ](https://www.fraudsclub.com/cosmonarchy-bw/sites/scenario-setup/#gameplay-commands ) for specific info.
