It's an Allied building, but the French cannot build it. They can capture it though.

It's an Allied Building and only the French can build it. (I.E. Grand Cannon) Using this code and the code above for AMRADR and GAAIRP gives the Americans the ability to build the American Air Force command instead of the regular Air HQ.

Can someone give me an example where Owners really IS essential ??
Essentially, that code is basically the same as the French code above, I've never noticed much difference.

As for when Owners is really essential, I hear tell that it is related to the "New Construction Options" bug, where the AI repeats that over and over. I usually sign up Yuri on all Yuri techs as the only owner, All Allied on any Allied Tech, and All Soviets on any Soviet Tech. From there, you should be able to restrict access with Tech levels and Forbidden/RequiredHouses=. I wouldn't know if it really cures the bug though, since I removed that sound bite a long time ago.
