Global Control
To expand your empire in the game world, you need to develop your main game indicator – your Global Control Level (GCL). It affects two important factors:
Your CPU Limit. You begin the game with a 30 CPU limit which allows you to control just a small number of creeps. However, you gain 10 CPU with each GCL level achieved until your limit reaches 300 CPU. Then it stops increasing. The amount of rooms you can control. For example, to control 3 rooms, you need to have GCL 3. Your current Global Control Level is displayed at your overview page.
In order to build any facilities in a room, you need to control it. In the majority of rooms (but not all), there are special objects called Room Controllers. In your first room, the Controller is owned by you by default. Any neutral Controller can be claimed by your creeps with the CLAIM body part, which instantly puts the room under your control.
A newly-seized Controller allows to build one spawn in the room. In order for you to build extra spawns, roads, and extensions, you have to upgrade the Room Controller Level (RCL) by pumping the energy into it using Creep.upgradeController method.
