POW Logic#

Brainwashing in Propaganda Center#

One of the files¹ describes previously unknown brainwashing mechanic, which is tied with POW logic. Apparently Chinese Propaganda Center building would be able to brainwash POWs that are contained inside of this building, and only "one at a time", as one of comments says. The process takes some time, after that brainwashed unit will be converted to building owner's side and can be released from it. If Propaganda Center is destroyed, all contained units will be released, and those who hadn't brainwashed yet will be loyal to the original owner.

Bounty#

To do: How would it work? More detalied code examination required Find this bounty multiplier, note it's somewhere in the retail game files, not in source code (there's only the default one with 1 value)

Not to be confused with Cash Bounty General's Power, that would be an alternative for it to gain some cash for GLA². The amount of this cash seems to be doubled cost of captured unit.

 
Real m_prisonBountyMultiplier; /// the cost of the unit is multiplied by this and given to the player when prisoners are returned to the a prison with KINDOF_COLLECTS_PRISON_BOUNTY

Prison#

To do: Detention Center has the same yard, could it be for this builing as well?

Apparently the prisoners in Prison would be rendered inside the yard.³

Hijacking vs Elite units unused behavior#

There's commented out code snippet⁴ that would protect Elite units from Hijack ablilty.

Bool ConvertToHijackedVehicleCrateCollide::isValidToExecute( const Object *other ) const
...
//VeterancyLevel veterancyLevel = other->getVeterancyLevel(); //if( veterancyLevel >= LEVEL_ELITE ) //{ //  return FALSE; //}
