Flag:	AllowableUnits
File(s):	Maps
Values:	Comma-separated list of strings. (Limited to: InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes)
Applicable to:	Basic

Specified in a map's [Basic] section in conjunction with StartingDropships. The value is a comma-separated list of InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes from rules(md).ini. It specifies the units that the player is allowed to choose as dropship reinforcements using the Dropship loadout feature. By default the player can choose any units that have the player house/country specified as the units' owner and meet the house's/country's tech level. In TS this already provides considerable limitation, but in RA2 and YR, units that are normally limited by RequiredHouses, ForbiddenHouses or a requirement to infiltrate a battle lab will normally be available. In conjunction with AllowableUnitMaximums, the map designer can adjust specifically what units the player can select and how many.

-Specifies which units are allowed for the player to choose for the Dropship Loadout. This is in the form of a list and disregards TechLevel settings. This allows the player to choose from specific units for their Dropship Loadout, regardless of the BuildLimit= or TechLevel setting in the game or in the map file. If you do not include this line, but you utilize the Dropship Loadout feature, the game will default to making all units available for selection by the player.
