Desert Strike Night II is an updated version of Desert Strike Night Final. This map version was made from scratch to bring in new drastic changes and new ultimate challenges.
The objective of the game is to destroy your opponents Night Fortress. There are 2 teams, each consisting 3 human players and 1 computer player. The human players are responsible for training units while the computers uses those units to destroy their opponents forces.
Resources - Players are automatically given a set amount of resources (initially 8 mins per sec) for training the military units. As the game develops, players have the option to increase their income by building Gas buildings (assimilator, refinery, extractor depending what race). There are 10 geysers in each player's base (was 6). As the player builds more and more Gas buildings, the game gives extra build space, allows the building of uber heroes, and spell casters (see under Spells). There is a catch, these buildings are really expensive. These buildings also stops the flow of minerals for a few seconds. So, players must safely time when to increase their mineral flow and to receive the other benefits.
Defense - The battlefield is a modest rectangluar shape terrain with the Fortresses, FortressDefense and a Silo in each side. Each forces created by the human players are transported to the rear of their respected Fortress. They are then ordered to move and attack towards their enemy side illustrating a tug of war. The FortressDefense and Silo are obstructions that help stop the flow of invaders but also at the same time generates pressure. The FortressDefense is a high armored building with invincible cannons so it must take a beating to get destroyed. The Silo, however, doesn't have any external weapon systems (or does it...mahaha)
Specials - Each match, all players are randomly selected to control 1 of 3 unique race - Zerg, Protoss and Terran. Each race has distinctive military arsenal which provides a variety of tactics for the players to deploy. As the game draws to an end, players will be able to access Super Weapons called: Specials, which dynamically changes the battlefield. These Specials are instantaneous, expensive and extremely effective.
Spells - Spells are the main focus of this new map version. Besides tactically building forces, players must use a wide range of spells to help achieve victory. There are 15 (yes fifteen) spells. From freezing your opponents income, to disabling vision, to manually controlling your computer forces, these new spells will test any pro DS player. In each match, only handful of those 15 spells are enabled to ensure lots and lots of different replay value.
The Queen-Gambit Game philosophy - As a map maker enthusiast, my job is [s]to modify map originals lol[/s] to turn my imaginative ideas into a reality. I try to give maps a Stimpack boost by injecting it with an intense dose of new gameplay and style which is immune to Clan WA.
Hell, its about time for you to play the map! If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, bug reports, msg me: kerrgambit@gmail.com, Queen-Gambit@USEast, or just put a comment here. Thank you
