Editing Handicap

When setting up a multiplayer or single scenario game, human and computer players can be given an individual handicap. According to the [[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 11|manual]], "Handicap will affect a player's starting resources", but in reality it also affects the daily resource income of the player.

* No Handicap - The default setting. No modification to resources.
* Mild Handicap - Starting resources and all resource income is reduced by 15%*
* Severe Handicap - Starting resources and all resource income is reduced by 30%*

<nowiki>*</nowiki> IMPORTANT NOTE: Since fractional resource income is rounded down, this handicap has a '''much''' greater effect when income for a given resource is low.
