+    baseCaptured - Detects when the assigned base has been captured
+
+    Properties
+    - baseCaptured       Marks this as baseCaptured zone. The value is ignored. 
+                         The closest base (airdrome or helipad) is automatically assigned to this zone.
+                         (MANDATORY)
+    - coalition          The coalition that needs to capture the base. Accepts 0/all, 1/red, 2/blue.
+      captureCoalition   Defaults to 0 (all)
+    - method             DML Flag method for output. Use only one synonym per zone.
+      capturedMethod     Defaults to "flip".
+    - f!                 The flag to bang! after the base matching above filter criteria has been captured.
+      captured!          Use only one synonym per zone.
+
+    Configuration
+    - verbose                 Show debugging information. Default is false.
