Line 80:
* [[Terraform]] - The Martians do this, seeding Red Weed in sectors they control.
* [[Units Not to Scale]] - Impressively averted.
* [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]] - For the martians, the first time you run into a human ironclad.
** And for the humans, the first time you run into the iconic fighting machines.
* [[White and Grey Morality]] - The Humans are fighting for their home and their way of life. The Martians are fighting because ''their'' home and way of life is dying. This allows the player to have some sympathy for the aliens.
** They do however [[Kick the Dog]] a bit in their victory movie, what with gloating about how “soon we shall farm and feast upon these animals” while the camera shows a human girl cowering away from a Bombarding Machine.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]] - The Martians as a society do this to their Senior Elder by way of "[[Mind Rape|mass telepathic execution]]" shortly before the war begins. Indeed, it is this unprecedented event that shocks the other Elders into extreme action (i.e the invasion of Earth).
** If the Martians lose, it is implied that his replacement meets the same fate. Which seems like a bit of a [[Blofeld Ploy]] given that the martian general in question was only your adjutant, and not the one calling the shots.
* [[You Require More Vespene Gas]] - A variation, where the amount of resources you are producing does not affect what you can build, just ''how long'' it takes to build it. The Humans use steel, coal and oil, while the Martians use [[To Serve Man|blood]], copper and [[I Love Nuclear Power|heavy elements]].
