 [[Aim & Shoot]] is a common solution to provide players with actions to succeed with [[Eliminate]] goals. [[Traps]] are less common but can encourage [[Stimulated Planning]].

[[Bidding]] allows for a type of [[Eliminate]] goals that consist of making all others involved give up rather than eliminating them.
-Many patterns can affect how [[Eliminate]] goals can be solved. First, [[Evade]] and [[Survive]] goals of the targets make the goals more difficult (and are [[Preventing Goals]]). [[Invulnerabilities]] can make the goal impossible to solve but [[Achilles' Heels]] can make this an erroneous perception of players rather than a true fact. The use of [[Damage]] system can make [[Eliminate]] goals require several different successful actions to succeed against opponents, and [[Factions]] can make [[Eliminate]] goals require the elimination of several opponents for the goal to be completed. [[Safe Havens]] makes it only possible to kill the target of [[Eliminate]] goals in certain places.
+Many patterns can affect how [[Eliminate]] goals can be solved. First, [[Evade]] and [[Survive]] goals of the targets make the goals more difficult. Such [[Survive]] goals are instantiated from [[Eliminate]] goals when the targets of [[Eliminate]] goals are players or [[Agents]] (and are then also [[Preventing Goals]]); otherwise [[Survive]] goals are a way to modulate [[Eliminate]] goals.

 Common reasons to introduce [[Eliminate]] goals in games include making [[Agents]] into [[Enemies]] and causing [[Gain Ownership]] struggles over [[Territories]]. [[Eliminate]] goals can also be given to players to provide them with [[Quests]]. Giving [[Eliminate]] goals directed towards each member in a [[Teams|Team]] creates [[Team Elimination]] goals and this can be further encouraged through [[Collections|Collection]] goals.
-[[Eliminate]] goals requires a target or targets to destroy as well as means to do so. While simply [[Units]], [[Enemies]], [[Boss Monsters]], or players' [[Avatars]] might be designated as the targets, the use of [[Choke Points]] or [[Inaccessible Areas]] together with [[Enemies]] can make fulfilling the goal a necessity rather than a voluntary choice (for [[Choke Points]], [[Obstacles]] can work instead of [[Enemies]] since their mere presence can hinder players). By their definition [[Destructible Objects]] invite players to [[Eliminate]] them since it is possible to do so. [[Resource Generators]] can also become targets to [[Eliminate]] if the [[Resources]] they create are unwanted, especially if they are [[Enemies]]. Struggle over [[Tools]] in [[Multiplayer Games]] can make other players into targets as well. That [[Enemies]] provide [[Loot]] or carry [[MacGuffins]] can make players more intent towards fulfilling [[Eliminate]] goals as well as being the reason why the [[Enemies]] are seen as [[Enemies]].
