Game Modes
If you choose to play a standard game in singleplayer or multiplayer, you can pick from a variety of game modes.
| Game Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Random Map | The basic mode. You can choose victory conditions and settings. |
| Terminate the Commander | Each player starts with a Commander unit. If this unit is killed, you loose. Your goal is to kill the other player’s Commander. |
| Death Match | All players begin with 20000 carbon, 20000 food, 10000 nova, and 5000 ore. This makes for a fast-paced game with many advanced units. |
| Scenario | Play a user-created scenario, such as ones downloaded from this site. |
| Commander of the Base | To win, you must control the Structure at the center of the map for a specified time-period. You control it when only your units occupy the space around the Structure. |
| Monument Race | The first player to build a monument wins the game. |
| Defend the Monument | One player starts with a Monument surrounded by walls, and the goal of the other players is to destroy it. Each player starts in Tech Level 4 with nearly 1000 of each resource and all technologies researched. If the Monument stands for long enough, that player wins. |
