• GamePlay

  Players focus on the acquisition and control of resources harvested by worker units: minerals and vespene gas. Minerals, which display as blue crystalline formations, are required for all normal units. Vespene gas, which appears as a geyser with green clouds emanating from it, is required for advanced units and upgrades. A refinery must be constructed before worker units can harvest vespene gas. Blizzard's Internet service Battle.net enables online multiplayer gaming with no additional fees.
