Whoever controls the planet's surface, controls the planet itself and is the defender. Controlling worlds increases a player's cash flow and provide unique bonuses for each planet (e.g.discounted prices for units, special unit available for production, reduced damage to certain units)Д«attles are carried out both on a planet and in space above the planet. Players are granted resources based on how many planets the player controls instead of building workers, getting resources, and buying individual units.
