HasStupidGuardMode=true means the unit wont engage in combat with enemy units by itself, false means it will.

Physical size affects how much space an infantry takes up in an APC.

Accelerates is pretty much what it says, and will make the unit follow othr accelerating tags assoiciated with it and will make it accelerate.

Threat posed is for Threat Rating Nodes I believe.

Shake Screen does not work any more, and if it does its only for the ION Cannon, a left over from Red Alert.

These are the AI com Generals. they are contained in AI.TLB and when enabled enhances TS's AI.

-AIGenerals
are also meant to give the AI some "personality" and variety
Default is 1 I believe which is stupid. they have different traits. but my memory is a bit rusty on which is what.

-Zfudge is how a unit looks when going under bridges?

-ThreatAvoidanceCoefficient=1?
It keeps harvesters from stupidly going into enemy bases for tiberium. sometimes it works..sometimes it doesnt. ~_~

-Threat evaluation.

also for AI. its a pretty cool feature that tied in with the Threat Rating Node. Units will behave by how "scary" an enemy unit seems. its kinda funny since you can make enemy disruptors. "run away" from a recon bike depending on its values. It also has an effect on base defenses and the Hunter Seeker.

Enemy house bonus keeps the AI fixated on the house that it attacked or was attacked by. rather than randomly sending attacks to different players.

-BlendedFog--how the transition of fog of war looks when it mixes with the Shroud. I believe dithering would make pixelated, as in pixel art?

AIGenerals is obsolete, is does not even appear in the exe. I reckon it is (like a lot of other things) held over from RA.

All you will ever need to know about the threat evaluaition logic

Passive=
Not too sure, I think it makes trains uncaptureable (is that even a word!), used for special train logic.

No, it was added in TS and is usable. Most notably, it is used by DeeZire for the Deevious AI.
