You can't control the entire world, there are game mechanics to prevent this.

I backed the kickstarter and played with the early parts of the game for a while. It is pretty good! But it's hampered by mediocre development tools. I never figured out a good way to write code for it, even after they added github support and lots of nice features. With github, you'd have to commit everything you wanted to test, and getting screeps to notice the new commit was a hassle that I never mastered. No nice debugging tools either. They improved a lot since I started, though, so I'm not sure what the current state is like. I would love a recommendation of how to play this in a sane manner.

But the game itself is very cool and you can do a lot without too much work. Definitely worth checking out.
