General

Desktop Armada is a multilayer game on the Casual Collective. It is a 2 player game in which the object is to destroy the opponents base by building ships to attack it. In addition, every 70 seconds or so, reinforcements come. The reinforcements contain 2 destroyers and a missile boat, all not upgraded (even if you have). There are two main modes:
- Normal: Your ships are the normal stats.
- Admirals: You can choose from one of 4 admirals; Upgraded Only
* Normal: Your ships have the normal stats. * Strong: Large Defense and more costly. * Engineer: Cheap upgrade prices, ships build faster. * Scout: Faster ship than normal, also has an extended range.
The following options are available:
- No Points: this game does not count towards your points. Every multi-player game has this mode.
- No Reinforcements: you do not get any reinforcements
