Land Air Sea Warfare

The climate of the region affects only the visual appearance of the map. It determines number and distribution of trees, water, ground, etc. on the map. There exist four different climatic settings: Grassland, Volcanic, Tundra and Desert.

The game uses a random map system with several types of terrain. The landscape type of the game map determines which bases and units can be built, which strategies may be applied and which kinds of mineral ore resource may be found, in turn determining which Mega units may be built later in the game. Ground-based landscapes do not have the unique resources for naval Mega units, and water based landscapes do not have the resources for land Mega units.
There are eleven different landscape map types: Mainland, Oceanic(the whole map is water, although air units can still be built), Islands (each player starts on an island), Oasis, Choke Point (swamps in the center), Center Point (all resources in the middle), Outlands (resources in the corners), Islets(many small islands), Swamp, Continental (large landmasses with rivers) and Fortress (a central island with all resources). In total, there are six different kinds of resources: Xephal, Crom, Isonium, Betniah, Rhoxia and Nuba.

The game can be customized with different conditions of victory:

• Normal - Deathmatch until only one player or team remains, or all other players have surrendered.
• Assassination - The player loses if his leader (on a heavily armored fast transport hovercraft) dies.
• Arms Race - First player to launch a Jericho V ICBM wins.
• Team Traitors - When playing teams and after one team wins, team members must defeat each other.
• All Your Base - The player loses if the Headquarters are destroyed .
• The Mega Project - The first to complete building a mega unit wins.
• Scientist's Domain - The first to complete researching Tech 3 wins.

Most of these structures are destined for energy production, some are fortification structures and others for harvesting and storing ore.

The majority of these buildings are specialized military unit production facilities, others upgrade technologies, create protective shields or enhance/jam viewing range.

The six different land units are produced in the Land Factory production facility. These include two anti-air trucks (Humvee and Ram), a light tank (Challenger), a multi-role truck (Cougar), a mobile long range artillery (Archer) and a flamethrower armed truck (Viper).

The three different amphibious units can be produced in both the Land Factory and the Sea Factory and travel on land and sea. They include two attack hovercraft (Samum and Spawn) as well as a repair hovercraft (Newt).

The eight types of air units are produced in the Air Factory production facility. There are a fast recon fighter (Wasp), attack and transport helicopters (Apache and Crane), two attack fighters (Raptor and Osprey), two types of bombers (Valkyrie and Lancer) and a stealth fighter (Black Widow). As other offensive units, the air units vary in speed, attack strength and their capacity to attack Land, Air and Sea units.

There are in total seven different sea units which are produced in the Sea Factory production facility: an anti-air destroyer (Stingray), two assault boats (Lupis and Zumwalt), as well as four different submarines (Seawolf, Megalodon, Eel - with electric shock capabilities, and Abyss).

New Technologies can be researched in three distinct research facilities:

• Looking Glass - 10 different upgrades of Sea units
• Orchid - 11 different upgrades of Land units
• Tempest - 9 different upgrades of Air units

Defense units serve to defend the base. There are units against Land (defensive cannon M779, large long range artillery Bertha, land mine IMS), Air (floating missile launcher GAAM, turret AP250, floating turret Phalanx, anti-air S.A.M. launcher M300, floating flame launcher Kallini), Sea and Sub units (torpedo launcher Mavic, sea mine Zork). There are also two large defense installations (on land Merlon and in the sea Zenith) and an anti-I.C.B.M. Laser defense (Illuminati). Some of these weapons require advanced levels in the tech tree.

The "Mega units" are gigantic weapons that allow for very effective attacks. However, they cost more than normal units, take more time to build, require development of the tech tree up to level 3 and specific unique mineral ores to be harvested in special mines.

• Rapture - Massive submarine which fires a huge Mark V Torpedo.
• Dreadnought - Massive destroyer with two long range double barrel cannons.
• Goliath - Massive tank featuring quad medium range cannons.
• Titanis - Massive gunship that rains down eight air to surface rockets per volley.
• Rapier - Massive air superiority fighter with six high speed guns.
• Magna Laser - Massive laser gun that damages any unit crossing its ray.
• Missile Pad - Build and launch ICBMs to attack units anywhere.
  • Jericho V - ICBMs can destroy a huge area anywhere.
  • Poseidon - ICBM equipped with a detonator that creates an EMP which disables all surface units for 30 seconds.
