An alternative method of supplying the unit to produce in GAE. The difference is that it makes a submenu like build would have. There should only be one of either produced-unit or produced-units. Another GAE only optional value shown here is number, which can appear in either <tt>&lt;produced-unit&gt;</tt> or <tt>&lt;produced-units&gt;</tt> style production commands, and allows multi-production, which produces the number specified when the production is complete. Note that only the resources of one of the produced units will be expended.  The <tt>tip</tt> attribute is an optional GAE-only value that will reference the keyword used as a tooltip.

===discount===
 
===discount===
 
The amount of the resources used to return after morphing, as a percentage from 0-100. 0 would mean you pay the full cost, 100 would mean that you are reimbursed the entire cost after morphing. Note that this is returned after morphing, so the initial resources are still needed.

 +
 +
===cost-modifier===
 +
Works the same way as discount, but instead of refunding the resource after the morph (and thus requiring the full resources to start), it reduces the amount required to perform the morph, thus, you can start a morph with just enough resources for the cost-reduced morph.
 +
 +
===finished-sound===
 +
A list of sound files, from which one is randomly selected, to play when the morphing is complete.

A GAE only alternative method of specifying the attack skill, this allows the attacks to be chosen based on the target. This uses a system of flags such as <tt>&lt;whenever-possible /&gt;</tt> or <tt>&lt;at-max-range /&gt;</tt> to specify circumstances in which to choose different skills. This is read from the top down (so the first one will be followed if the tag evaluates as true, even if the second one does too) and allows the AI to, for example, use a long ranged bow when the foe is far away, but otherwise use a short ranged sword.
 +
 +
Possible flags are: <tt>&lt;whenever-possible /&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;at-max-range /&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;on-large /&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;on-building /&gt;</tt>, and <tt>&lt;when-damaged /&gt;</tt>. The attack-skill value is the attack skill to use when that flag is active. There can be multiple flags per attack-skill.
