Set in the Middle-East, 'Desert Storm' puts the player in a hostile environment where diplomatic opportunities are suppressed and conflict 'rides high'. Many new units have been added to the game, and these have a significant effect on player strategies, requiring flexibility to account for the differing situations. Since the game is located purely in the desert, terrain values have also been altered. Locating oasis areas and irrigating the existing terrain that provides much needed food for cities is now extremely important. Significant changes have been initiated to the graphical feel of the game, while an HTML 'read me' file offers considerable player guidance.
