What is Mar-Sara Miners
Mar-Sara Miners is an 8 vs. 4 team game where the miner team's goal is to kill the Overmind as quickly as possible while the zerg team's goal is to delay the miners long enough to destroy them all.

Why Should I Play?
Because its' fun! It's probably in my opinion the funnest Zerg vs Terran team game in the arcade. Plus it could help you learn Russian if you play on EU :))))

Which Team is Zerg and which Team is Terran in the Lobby?
You actually pick which team you want to be on when you're inside the game. The 6 vs 6 lobby setup doesn't really make sense. If too many people opt in for one side, the game will auto balance and force people to be in a team they didn't pick.

Which Team Should I Play For If I'm New?
Generally, Zerg is easier to understand as it's more straightforward starting out. However, it really depends on the players inside the game and whether they are willing to help and guide you.

The most noob friendly role in Zerg is the Zergling while in Miners, it is the Sapper.

How Do I Get Items For My Hero?
Miners can buy them in Workshops (Engineering Bays) and Service Station (Factory), while Zerg players buy them in the Evolutionary Control (Evolution Chamber). The shops are shared amongst the team. For miners, however, the items within the Workshop depends on the role of the hero that built it. Sometimes if you buy an item but your hero is not near the Workshop, the item will just be dropped in front of the shop, so don't forget to pick them up by RIGHT CLICKING. However, if your inventory is full, you wont be able to pick them up. Your inventory equip slots are located bottom right. They are also available with your Numkeys.

How Do I Upgrade My Items?
To upgrade items, first you must have sufficient skill points required to upgrade the item. Next, you must have the item equipped and you must be next to the shop of your team.

Now you just have to LEFT CLICK the item in your inventory to upgrade.

Can I Sell Items to The Shop?
No, there is not a way to sell items back to the shop.

I Died, Can I Be Revived?
Yes! Zerg player revive automatically near their hatchery while Miners must be revived by a teammate. A miner can be revived when a teammate uses a reanimator near the place where the miner died. Every miner starts with a reanimator so revives should be often.
