Dominance 1.2: Highway by StrikerX22@USWest. This version does not have music and is 108KB (music version is also uploaded, 970KB).
Also check out Dominance: Volcano and Dominance: Facility! Each have their own song (and not as corny =P), if you get the music versions. Yeah, a note about this song... don't try to hear the silly lyrics =P.

http://www.staredit.net/topic/5378/This map is open to modification. I encourage you to make other terrains with mainly the same triggers. (Use a tileset change in scmdraft2, and contact me for a list of helpful info.)
Basically, it's based off the FPS game Unreal Tournament's Domination mode. You take territories (Control Nodes), and try to keep them for points (minerals) over time. Each territory you keep as a team will give points. To win, you must either A) take all 7 territories, or B) win the point goal (currently 5000).
You select a unit at the start which you will keep throughout the game. It's a big choice, so talk to your team about it quickly. All units have weaknesses, so learn what compliments what, instead of assuming it's unbalanced.
The units are as follows:
-
Ghost - Specialist - Good range, fair against infantry. Low offense, but can summon guard dogs (2 random kinds), spider mines, and has a ComSat. No ghost upgrades, so no cloak or high-distance vision. Remember, non-infantry cannot hack (with the exception of SCV's android and battle mech).
-
SCV - Technician - Hacks into territory nodes about 2x as fast as normal infantry (5 seconds instead of 12). Ability to create defensive/hacking(normal speed) robots, and a tank to get in and out of (neutral when out, and cannot hack). Can build turrets and team bunkers as well. The bunkers require that only one person from the team is near them, and then it will be given to that person. They act as good doors, if used properly. Use Building Instructions (free) for more info.
-
Dark Templar - Assassin - Always cloaked and with observer. Comes with the ability to teleport home and to use a 1-time-only Vitality Pill, which enhances his HP/shield and movement speed.
-
Kerrigan Ghost - Sniper - Very strong against infantry. upgrades make a big difference. You have the ability to "Snipe," which involves staying in place and being given infinite energy to cloak (cannot otherwise). It will, however, drain gas, and you must press 'h' for Hold or aim manually, as ghosts don't fire while cloaked unless they're holding or you give them a specific target. You'll get the hang of this as you use it more. Focus Sight can be used once Hide is activated, and you gain an invincible observer for until you unHide. It can wander fairly far, but no upgrades.
-
Marine - Shock Trooper - Like it sounds, this guy's strong against infantry. He has the ability to Stim and to cast "Grenade," a single siege tank. He also Endure (invincibility), which drains gas like mad. Weapon upgrades are a must. Counter Melee surrounds you with low-HP mines for a moment, to deal with cloaked enemies. You are invincible while they explode.
-
Medic - Medic - Comes with a short-ranged attack (chooses closest first, summons a firebat attacking a P11 Lurker, can be upgraded, essentially detects). You may use heal, and research optic flare and restore. You also have Emergency Energy, Refill Energy, and Self-Heal. Use Emergency Energy when out and it's necessary, but only use Refill energy (100%) when necessary and you don't plan on dying until using it, as it's expensive.
You basically choose between heavily using spells, or upgrading early, or somewhere in between. The game will end eventually, due to points accumulating. Those who die lose 41 minerals, and the other members on their team lose 40. This effectively shows who's died the most on that team.
Have fun and spread it around! If you'd like a list of updates since "Domination v1.02", or a list of the "Did You Know?" explanations, just ask pm/e-mail.
