The scenario record schema
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Name | Mission name as shown in-game |
| Objectives | Each objective with target numbers |
| Rewards | Unlocks or currencies paid |
| Constraints | Time limits, budgets, ban lists |
| Source & version | Where verified, with build |
| Unknowns | Values still unconfirmed |
Progression questions
All four are open questions. None is answered by the 2019 game’s structure.
- Do scenarios gate content (species, buildings, modes)?
- Is progression shared across saves or modes?
- Are scenario maps replayable after completion?
- Does difficulty change rewards?
Evidence
What do the evidence labels mean?
Confirmed: Directly supported by an official source captured for this edition, or a statement about the wiki’s own editorial method. Announced: Stated by an official source; the detailed implementation is not yet verified. Observed: First-hand gameplay observation; not recreated or tested by this wiki. Reported: Provided through a brief or secondary channel; not yet independently rechecked against an official source. Inferred: A reasonable reading of an official statement; not stated outright and not guaranteed. Unresolved: No verifiable evidence exists yet. Published as an open question. Outdated: Superseded by a newer statement or from an earlier edition.
You are ready when…
When something goes wrong
A walkthrough video shows a mission my build does not.
Different build or mode gate — identify the video’s build claimed in its description, and report the difference.
I finished a scenario and unlocked something unexpected.
Capture the unlock panel — unexpected unlocks are exactly what the research-unlock records need.
