<tt>[{{PAGENAME}}]</tt> is a section of [[Rules|rules(md).ini]], in all rules-based C&C games. In Red Alert, in constisted of 20 different flags, regulating the maximum amount of certain object types and similar things. In Tiberian Sun and Yuri's Revenge, the only maximums-flag left is <tt>[[Players]]</tt>, setting 8 as the maximum number of multiplayer participants (according to the comments at this point, this is due to the IPX layer not supporting more).

=The Legend of <tt>'''Warheads<nowiki>=</nowiki>'''</tt>=
'''Note:''' ''There is no "Warheads".'' DeeZire claims the following in his part about <tt>[{{PAGENAME}}]</tt> in [[The Guide]]:
Warheads=
Allows you to set an object heap maximum on warhead types, although it is not known quite how (or even if)
this gets used. This number should never be lower than the number of warheads defined in the
[Warheads] list or bad crashiness will result.
While it is possible this claim was derived from knowlegde gathered by reverse engineering the .exe, several things should be taken into account:
*There ''is'' a flag <tt>Warhead</tt> in Red Alert's <tt>[Maximums]</tt>; it is well-known that Westwood coded ''nothing'' they didn't explicitly need - so given the fact they reduced the entire section to one flag, why on Earth would they ''rename'' a flag that
**Wouldn't be used anyway
**Already had a name very, very similar (is a single "s" no end-user is ever gonna see worth a change in the codebase?), and
**Worked just fine the way it was (is a single "s" worth the danger of creating possibilities for future "Can't find <tt>Warhead=</tt> bugs?")
*There is ''no'' proof given by DeeZire for the existence of <tt>Warheads</tt>
*[[Mistakes In DeeZire's INI Guide|It wouldn't be the first time the Guide was wrong]]
'''Fact is:''' "Warheads=" is nowhere to be found in either RA's, TS's, RA2's or YR's rules(md).ini or FS's firestrm.ini; and in all of these five files ''together'', "Warheads" without the "=" is found in only twelve instances:
::;rules.ini (RA) : Warhead=10 ; warhead types, not actual '''warheads'''
::;firestrm.ini : [Warheads]
::;rules.ini (TS) : ; This is a list of the various types of '''warheads''' available in the game
::;rules.ini (TS) : [Warheads]
::;rules.ini (TS) : ; Bright = Does this weapons bullet cause a lighting effect when it impacts (def=no)? If set, this will override the '''warheads''' 'Bright' flag.
::;rules.ini (RA2) : ; This is a list of the various types of '''warheads''' available in the game
::;rules.ini (RA2) : [Warheads]
::;rules.ini (RA2) : ; Bright = Does this weapons bullet cause a lighting effect when it impacts (def=no)? If set, this will override the '''warheads''' 'Bright' flag.
::;rulesmd.ini (YR) : ; This is a list of the various types of '''warheads''' available in the game
::;rulesmd.ini (YR) : [Warheads]
::;rulesmd.ini (YR) : ; Bright = Does this weapons bullet cause a lighting effect when it impacts (def=no)? If set, this will override the '''warheads''' 'Bright' flag.
::;rulesmd.ini (YR) : ; **************************** Warheads ************************************

As such, until further proof is uncovered, one should regard the existence of a "Warheads" flag as nothing more than a myth.
