Worlds
Combat takes place on several planets, with 4 missions on each. When one is successfully captured, a space ship transports the robot army to another. Worlds are divided into the following types:
- Desert: A dry, open and scarcely vegetated environment, in which units have little trouble moving around freely. The player encounters rivers and islands as they progress through the battles on this planet. Some territories are controlled by flags on islands.
- Volcanic: A much more hostile environment with intense heat and constant eruptions. Lava flows are an impassable barrier.
- Arctic: A frozen world of snow and ice spanned by glacial rock formations. One level has a wall of ice blocking the way to the fortresses. Penguins densely populate the icy terrain.
- Jungle: A verdant world of menacing swamps and impenetrable chasms. Crocodiles in the swamps lash out at robots hanging around the mud.
- City: A decaying industrial complex where danger lurks around every corner. Construction cranes will often be needed to repair any bridges that take damage. Sewer monsters ambush robots moving across polluted water.

Famous quotes containing the word worlds:
“The Lady Amelia would not for worlds have had the de Courcy blood defiled; but gold she thought could not defile.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
