Line 24:
* In ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'', the protagonist is able to give orders calling for Sniper, Mortar and Artillery support on the field, costing you command points you otherwise use to move units.
* In ''[[Age of Empires III (Video Game)|Age of Empires III]]'', every nation has a Home City. In game, once you earn enough XP (gained by destroying buildings or units, building buildings or units, or just a small trickle) you can choose and send a shipment from your home city. What you get can vary from resources to units to upgrading your buildings.
* ''[[Shattered Union]]'' player gains either good or evil points based on how much damage he did during battle. These unlock special powers, such as field repairs or [[Nuke
Line 30:
* ''[[Command and Conquer]]'', Red Alert, RA2, YR, C&C3 had these. They usually came in the form of a dedicated building that provides it early on in the series life, but in C&C3 they mostly secondary functions of buildings necessary to climb your [[Tech Tree]].
** For instance, building an Airfield in RA1 would allow the Soviets to send a spy plane to reveal parts of the map, or drop paratroopers or [[Death From Above|Para]][[Awesome but Impractical|bombs]]. Plus there's the [[Nuke
*** Aside from the superweapons, the second game only had the Paradrop ability gained from capturing an airfield (the US airfield gives one that drops more soldiers and doesn't stack with the other, allowing you to use both separately). ''Yuri's Revenge'' provided the Spy Plane to the Soviet Radar Dish and the Force Shield (makes all buildings in a large area invulnerable but shuts off all base power) for all Battle Labs.
* ''[[Dune]] 2'' has the "Fremen attack", which makes Fremen appear and charge at a specific target. You get it from building a Palace.
Line 36:
** Orbital Bombardment needs a unit to call it too: the Force Commander.
** Once the Orbital Relay building is complete, you can use it to deploy Space Marines and Dreadnoughts directly onto the battlefield instead of having them ferried to the relevant production structure via air.
* The Terrans in ''[[Starcraft]]'' has several types of these, most notably the ability to reveal any part of the map on command, and another which allowed you to use [[Slap
* In ''[[SWINE]]'', if you have Strategic Points left over which you did not spend before the mission, you can use it to buy additional units (which are airlifted in by a helicopter) or call in bombers via your command car to launch airstrikes against specific targets.
