Initial Settings TOT

[PurpleWyrm]

Can anyone tell me what the Initial Settings section of the TOT rules.txt is for? It sets three numbers for each tribe, but I can't figure out what they're for. I have a suspicion that they might determine what map a tribe starts on, but I'm not sure.

For examaple, in the Sci-Fi game they read

@INITIAL_SETTINGS
0,0,4 ; Cadre
0,3,2 ; Ellecor
0,0,4 ; True Colony
0,3,2 ; Grau
0,0,4 ; Clerisy
0,3,2 ; Iihibati
0,0,4 ; Engineers
0,0,4 ; Star Officers
0,3,2 ; Ponn Jahr
0,0,4 ; Funesti
0,3,2 ; Vallan
0,0,4 ; Seekers
0,3,2 ; Det Pin
0,0,4 ; Uridians
0,0,4 ; Enclave
0,3,2 ; Selephon
0,0,4 ; Liberests
0,3,2 ; Jilda
0,0,4 ; Sciolists
0,3,2 ; Ka Rhee
0,0,4 ; Observers

Any ideas?

It determines the units and locations for Civs when you start a game.
1st number=map
2nd number=slot number of unit
3nd number=slot number of unit (where game decides you start with more than 1 unit)

If 2 is not a unit with a role of 5, then the Civ is doomed to an early finish.
