| | *[[CrateRules]] defines basic game behaviour, spawn rates, how many, etc. |

| Problem is that certain naval units are also <tt>CrateGoodie=yes</tt> or lack <tt>CrateGoodie=no</tt>. The game does not differentiate between naval and ground vehicles, and might give you a naval unit on a no-water map, resulting in an Internal Error. If the map does contain water, though, the naval unit will be spawned in the water without the error. So best to set all naval units to <tt>CrateGoodie=no</tt> (note, originally the Destroyer lacks this tag, so fix it too).

This tag specifies whether crates are enabled by default on the multiplayer dialog.
Crates are the box-like objects that appear in all C&C games and grant powerup bonuses to the player that collects them. Collecting them is as easy as moving a unit into the same cell as it resides, at least until it disappears.
Crate functionality is described by two sections:
- CrateRules defines basic game behaviour, spawn rates, how many, etc.
- Powerups defines what you get out of each crate type.
