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:
“Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, not spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you will weep and know why.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Perchance the time will come when we shall not be content to go back and forth upon a raft to some huge Homeric or Shakespearean Indiaman that lies upon the reef, but build a bark out of that wreck and others that are buried in the sands of this desolate island, and such new timber as may be required, in which to sail away to whole new worlds of light and life, where our friends are.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
