[align=center]DESERT STRIKE TOURNAMENT! Saturday June 11th 8:00EST. East Server. Channel: Desert [/align] About Desert Strike: Desert Strike is a Starcraft custom map game that applies the concept of tug of war and production strategy. There are two teams consisting of a computer and 3 players. Each team must overwhelm their opponent and destroy their Spawn building situated in opposite corners of the map. The players are responsible for building units for their computer ally. Computer will automatically charged into their opponents base. The Production of units in this map is very unique. Each building a player builds represents a group of units that their computer ally will spawn. Everyone will take turns spawning units; that means that the units don't come instantly. Instead there's a 40 second timer. Once timer reaches zero, depending on what building a player builds, the map will scan those buildings and translate them into units onto the field. Besides building structures, there are other strategies that players must be aware of. One of them is income. Buildings aren't free, they all cost x amount of minerals. In this map, players are continually given a small amount of money each second. To get more money, players simply have to build on their seven geyers in their base. Everytime a player builds a geyers they get more money per second. Although this strategy generally helps, theres a risk. Each geyser will freeze ur income of money for a couple of seconds. The more geysers u build the longer the freeze time on your income. This can be a big weakness when a teams is losing forces. No money, no opportunity to build more buildings. What to expect in the tournament: Even though I've gone through lots of forums and clan channel in bnet, i don't really expect a ton of players to participate but it don't matter! This tournament will let u see a sneak peak of my upcoming maps, as well as play with me. I will lay down an intro about myself, my purpose of editing, etc and then we will start playing rounds of Desert Strike all night. The winner will receive: STARCRAFT 2 BETA KEY! (jk). Simply bragging rights and a chance to reevaluate your goals in life and ponder about why your wasting your time in a pointless tournament. Each week I'll attempt to host a tournament and showcase other fun maps. Be sure to keep posted!
Dude, I totally LOVE YOUR MAP!!!! Keep up the good work! One problem is that the lurker doesn't burrow, though. but you might have fixed it already in a later version.
OMFG ITS QUEEN GAMBIT LOL I LUV DESERT STRIKE LOL i played the first versions (betas by nuderaieder) as well as urs yo go to www.icuup.com, sign up and play with meh and meh friends lurkers buyrrow wen attacked, like how queens brood wen attacked a bug i hate is the fleet beacon messes up bc spawn 0.0
I wuz playing 3v3 DS, and it was practically 2v3 because the third teammate was just building geysers only. As we were winning (2v3 winning rofl!), he tried doing the "upgrade base" thingy. Turns out, not only was it expensive, but also worthless. He had to upgrade 3 times just to get ultras spawned every turn. It was like 4k minerals in total.
