Take Over the World: Difference between revisions

** Almost all [[4X]] games give you victory when you conquer the world or the galaxy.

** This is the explicit goal of most of the villainous factions (Nod, the Soviets, the Imperial Japanese, CABAL, etc.) in the various ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' series. The good factions on the other hand (GDI, the Allies) more often than not strive for a return to status quo, seeing the defeat of their enemy as a way of preventing this trope, not to practice it themselves. Because their endings are usually canon this leaves the door open for another rematch in a sequel.

** ''[[Syndicate]]'' ended with your [[Mega Corp]] conquering the entire world. In the sequel, they control the planet uncontested until the game starts.

* Purple Tentacle in ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]'' wants to do this, after drinking some sludge-contaminated water. In fact, he ''succeeds'', as the human sent 200 years into the future, Laverne, can attest to. The objective is to travel to ''yesterday'' and prevent the water from being contaminated in the first place, as he's nigh unstoppable otherwise (somehow).

* ''Evil, INC'' is also an example—When Evil Atom gives some perspective interns to Evil, INC his personal tryout, a lady proclaims "One day I will rule the world!" to which Evil Atom gives the "Whoa, think about that! You'll be responsible for ''everything''. Try again." The young lass replies "One day I will rent the world!"

* ''[[Dr. Nonami]]'': Mechano's goal is world conquest. So far it's not going very well.

* ''Nukees'': This has been the stated goal of Gav since the beginning, but especially since Ma'at told him it was his destiny. As of August 2010, he seems to have succeeded, albeit in a way no one could have expected.

* ''Xykon'' of ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''.
