First starting out as simple machines throwing stones, artillery has evolved greatly and is an important weapon in war.
Communism is an economic and political ideology which (at least in theory), seeks to eventually achieve a classless society that promotes equality in gender, racial, and/or social terms. Despite this, most Communist regimes are often dictatorial rather than utopian.
Law makers and fat cats who will sell the population down the river just to gain more power and money.
Cults don't necessarily have to be evil or out to destroy the world, but in video games it's usually safe to assume so.
An organism consisting of both natural and artificial systems.
Any game that represents a society noticeably worse or less desirable compared to those in the present. This can relate to kinds of political and economic organisation, excessive human suffering, social problems caused by technology, or as a result of an apocalyptic event.
An evil organization is a group of super-villans who are hell bent on world domination or something of a similar nature. Usually defeated by a single Spy/Superhero/Average Joe/small child.
Fairly weak enemies (not specific characters) that go down in a couple shots or swings, but will keep coming in droves.
One of the playable factions in the Command & Conquer series.
Whether it be Mario vs. Bowser, Jedi vs. Sith, Link vs. Ganon, or Elves vs. Orcs, the forces of good are in an eternal battle with the hordes of evil.
Although the United States has not been subject to a major invasion since the War of 1812 with the British Empire, it is the subject of many modern themed games. It usually spurs on the protagonist to save the United States of America from certain doom.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
Two or more factions, either with the same or completely different goals, that constantly try to one-up each other. The player is sometimes forced to pick a side to root or work for during the struggle. Other times the rivalry is only mentioned in the plot.
The third playable Faction in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The Scrin are an alien race that have been hinted at in former Command & Conquer games. Intent on taking Earth for their own, the Scrin are hostile to both the Global Defence Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod
Typically representing the elite of humanity's Space Forces, Space Marines have appeared in numerous games such as the Doom series and Warhammer series.
A superweapon is a structure or character with amazing powers and amazing costs. This weapon can turn the battle to its owner's side single-handedly, but is usually the most expensive and time consuming to construct.
Terrorists can be found terrorizing people all over the world of video games. While there is no consensus on how to define the term "terrorism", terrorists are generally considered to be people who express their ideals through violence.
Multiplayer Games that feature three teams instead of the usual two.
Many games feature storylines about wide, sweeping combat between three radically different factions.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
