I'm happy to release v3.5 today. Please review the update notes below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Desert Strike Night 2022 (Update: v3.5) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - All demolished structures now grant 100% refunds with the limitation systems. - All demolished structures totals are now shown on the leader board cycle. - All demolished structures due to max limit don't count towards leader board. - All units on the battlefield are more aggressive and focused on their targets. - All features information and guidance are now more visually intuitive. - Debuff "Convert" now only converts enemy units on team side of shakura obelisk. - Debuff "Vanish" now only Kills enemy units on team side of shakura obelisk. - Trophies are no longer shown on the leader board cycle and now more revised. - Improved hyper trigger support for #x1.0 - #x2.9 games. (Game will be very fast) - Increased the limit conditions for inactive players ban. (Warnings Added) - Added meticulous neutral recycle for 1vs1, 2vs2, etc. (Removes unused things) - New classification of "Super" units introduced which are stronger counterparts.
- Added "Cash Limitation System" which limits the maximum active cash balance. ~ The maximum active cash limitation is 21k with overflow auto sent to savings. ~ The overflow is considered $500 cash accumulated over the active limitation. ~ Players can withdraw cash overflow just like savings for anything and specials. ~ Cash overflow from massive refunds will also transfer automatically to savings. ~ Cash will seem stuck but, all your overflow cash is being transferred to savings. ~ Savings withdraw that exceed the active cash limitation is considered overflow. ~ This does not delete any active cash, overflow, savings, shared or refunded cash.
- Added "Special Limitation System" which limits consecutive special activation's. ~ Special activation are now three maximum consecutive down from unlimited. ~ Maximum consecutive refers to three specials at one time per each player. ~ This system works in close parallel with the cash limitation system. ~ Strategic specials with teammates has not been changed as intended.
- Added "Refunds Limitation System" which limits the maximum refunds possible. ~ The maximum ammount of refunds that are allowed by each player is set 50. ~ This limit includes and extends to structures outside of your own base. ~ Refunding structures can also impact your spawn so pick and choose wisely. ~ This system works in close parallel with the other limitation systems. ~ This excludes lift refunds generated from factory w/add-on and sunkens.
- Added "Shakura Obelisk System" which is a mysterious watcher of everything. ~ The obelisk is responsible for the "Shakura Storms" bonuses during the game. ~ The obelisk is located in the center of the battlefield as a known structure. ~ The obelisk has a mind of it's own and does thing's based on what "it" thinks. ~ The obelisk may sometimes message suggestions to specific players randomly. ~ The conditions responsible for the obelisk actions are unknown as intended. ~ The obelisk actions will not unbalance the game and is purely fair to all. ~ The obelisk will prompt a notification to all players if it does something.

Desert Strike 2024 is work in progress and will be released when ready. I'm excited to reveal that there's AI version work in progress as well but, still some time until release.
This year will most likely be the last time I release updates for the Desert Strike Night series. The Desert Strike Night series is coming close to fulfillment and amusement.
I love you all, remember whatever it is currently you find difficult to accomplish or settle with you still hold on to the most complex valuable thing and that's life.
Progress Report:I'm hoping to release the map before mid August hence i stop tinkering and getting something out to all you lovely people. Time is not always reasonable but, i always try to appease the juggle. Map Report:I've reached string cap and some annoyances which spawn other annoyances (You all know how that is) however thing's are working out (Insert guile theme) for now until (Insert mario death sfx). Map Goal:I would ultimately like players to have many options at there disposal against challengers and experience fun, laughter and sometimes good old "Starcraft" taunting without crossing the line. The Future:I've always been a busy lady multitasking beyond belief but, that's that. I do feel my interest withdrawing from "Starcraft" like many before me. I will most likely be playing Path of Exile 1/2. @lil-Inferno:Thank you.
l)ark_ssj9kevin -- don't worry I had no creepy intentions. only labor exploitative intentions. I'm gonna scout the next big content creators from there
