This page is dedicated to the various custom game rules, with which the game experience can be altered beyond just selecting a difficulty. Such gamerules include the ability to individually strengthen several Nations, choose which focus path will the AI take, deciding which nations will spawn on the map at Game Start turn off and on various diplomacy rules and gameplay mechanics, as well as allowing special holiday/meme events such as April Fools and choosing the outcome of several events across the wasteland.
