-'''Default: 50%''' If you set the value at 100% or more, then once the alien's rage begins, it becomes explosive. 70% is a hard game, while 90% is very challenging. These games force you to be careful in every round and carefully consider forgetting if you have a particularly disastrous time thread. Set to 0% for an easy game.

 The number of families will be based on the number of buildings considered "residential" (green blocks by default), and this is directly impacted by the districting map you select when creating the map.
