Your mission goal is to fight, and conquer certain territories on a predefined world map. This mode features the armies of the Empire, High Elves, Hordes of Chaos, Skaven, Orcs & Goblins, and Dark Elves.

The World Map shows how the territories are divided between the different participating races, and the current status of the groups in the course of the game. World Domination can only be achieved by conquering territories. At the beginning of a World Domination game, the territories are evenly distributed between the six peoples. Each territory represents a multiplayer map.

Various types of maps are available in World Domination mode: siege and reinforcement battles, and custom battles with special winning requirements. 4 (2-on-2) or 6 (3-on-3) players are needed for each map.

The territories have different colors, allowing players to see at a glance which race dominates a territory. The game keeps track of the results of all participating races, and their victories for each territory. Following each battle, it calculates whether any of the races achieved the required number of victories for a territory.

Thus, in World Domination mode, the battle for these territories keeps raging back and forth.

Acquiring different territories grants the players certain bonuses. For example, a Gold Mine will provide the occupying race with more gold than usual. This race's reinforcement camps will continuously produce +5 Gold (as compared to their regular rate). Additional gold mines will further increase the production. Territories with the Spell Mastery bonus reduce the cool-down times for all spells and skills by 10%. The Combat Morale bonus increases their regular morale regeneration by 10%. The Flight Recovery bonus grants fleeing units a 30% increase over their regular morale regeneration. And Heroic Speed grants the troops a 15% increase of their movement speed.
