You and your team are each given one (1) Nuke Machine with unlimited Hyper Nukes and one (1) Spotter to begin with, which is used to target nukes for your Nuke Machine. At the beginning of the round players vote whether they want to play a standard length game (30 minutes) or can race to the finish in a Score Attack match. After players are oriented, the Nuke Machine immediately begins building Hyper Nukes and Spotters are sent off to begin to destroy any Zerg forces or enemy Spotters on the field, gaining points and resources.
Alas, everything is not so simple, you, your allies, and your enemies can purchase upgrades and abilities for each others Spotters with the resources you have collected from collectively blowing everything up! After four (4) rounds of Zerg waves (which later rounds involve Overseers that turn the Zerg against your Spotters for once) team scores are tallied and the team that blew up stuff up more efficiently gets the crown of superiority.
