-**AutoCapture Factory** -- Assigns the territory to the player and adds units. AutoCapture Factories ignore who owns the factory territory. No matter who owns it, ownership is transferred to the player who owns the continent at the beginning of their turn. If the player didn't hold that territory originally, units in that territory are reduced to 0, and the continent bonus is placed in that factory. +**AutoCapture Factory** -- Assigns the territory to the player and adds units.

 **Universal Factory** -- Adds units to territory no matter who owns it. Ownership is retained by the original holder of the territory. All Universal Factories check to see who owns the factory, then places the continent bonus in that factory, and the player who owned the factory gets the bonus and retains ownership of that factory. **Universal Factory** -- Adds units to territory no matter who owns it.
