Both games feature a «Commander» unit, a giant mecha, which uses atomic - level manufacturing to build an entire economy on far - off planets literally from the ground up, which is an interesting inversion on how mecha usually are used in games: the «Commander» is more or less the player character, and while their large mecha is by no means weak, it's a central unit because of its production capabilities, and not because of its arsenal, which as a mecha fan I always thought was a nice way to work the idea of a «hero mecha» into an RTS, because you can relate to the Commander mecha's role as, well, a Commander on the battlefield rather than as simply a powerful named «hero» unit as exist in most other RTSes.
It remains to be demonstrated how anyone in their right mind could assume without solid proof that humans have the capacity to halt the warming of the inter-glacial period in which we presently exist, hope to halt the next and inevitable multi-million year ice age, or halt the inevitable warming of the entire planet as the Sun continues to increase its luminosity towards becoming a giant star.
