--- GAME EXPLANATION -------------------------------------------------

In this gamemode, the player controls a Protoss base that’s sent to a planet to erradicate the Zerg plague. The game will mostly play like any other starcraft game.

Defeat the enemy main base, shown on the map, while protecting your own base and most importantly, the "Zerg Sample", the building near the player's starting location. Loosing it means loosing the game.

Upon destroying the enemy main base, Kerrigan will appear and attack the player. Defeat her before she gets to the sample or all hope of cleansing the planet will be lost!

Victory: All Zerg bases are eliminated and Kerrigan dies. Defeat: Zerg Sample is destroyed.

Zerg Bases: The main base will always have Ultralisks defending it. Destroy it to unleash Kerrigan's rage and get a step closer to victory, but make sure your defenses are ready to take the hit, every Zerg alive will charge towards you!

There will be up to 3 other bases around the map, randomly spawn. Each one will have a type of enemy that will behave differently:

-Zergling base. Weak units but with high damage output in groups. Will attack the player. -Mutalisk base. Medium units, with ranged attacks and the ability to fly. Units will roam around the map. -Hydralisk base. High damage medium ranged units. Units will aid other Zerg bases. -Infested Terran base. When detecting an enemy, they will run towards it and explode nearby, dealing a huge damage in an area. They have low life and range of vision, but deadly damage. Units will disperse around the map.

--BOSS PHASE---------------------------------------

Once the boss spawns all the Zergs that are still alive will inmediatly attack the player, that's the first impact the player defenses will have to survive. Kerrigan will slowly but steadily march towards the player's base attacking with different patterned explosions that will deal an area of effect damage. Every explosion will be first announced by a circular stencil on the ground, giving the player a chance to avoid it.

The boss has a huge carapace and it won't be easy to damage. This is represented by her shield, displayed by the blue bar on her life bar. Upon depletion, Kerrigan will stand still for a period of time and the player will be able to damage her directly, reducing her health (the red bar). Altough, whenshe recomposes, she'll aniquilate any nearby units and regain the whole shield again.
