Set on a frozen river on the surface of [[Na Pali]], ONS-Dria's landscape is vast and barren. While the river "divides" the terrain vertically, a large wall does so horizontally, dividing the map into 4 sections, each of which has 2 powernodes with the powercores in the north-west and south-east sections. Distances are long and obstructions are few, making vehicles a necessity. Luckily, Dria boasts one of the largest arsenals in vehicles of any ONS map.

There are 2 ways to cross the river through connected powernodes. These cross near the center of the map near a pair of large, long bridge (the main landmark and chokepoint of the map).

There's plenty more vehicular power at the various other nodes which which the disadvantaged team can fight back.

; [[Target Painter]] : The painter is on a tower at the north-east and south-west corner nodes. They can be reached via the teleporter next to each tower.
 
−
; [[Lightning Gun]] : There are four Lightning Gun pickups on the map, one on top of each base tower and one on each bridge gate in the middle of the bridges across the frozen river. The ones in the bases are accessible through a teleporter at the ground level inside the towers, while the ones on the bridge gates are reachable via [[jump pad]]s on the bridge opposite to the bridge power nodes. The Lightning Gun can also be obtained via [[Weapon Locker]]s near all but the center power nodes.

; [[Mine Layer]] : One of these is located in a building near the north-west and south-east power nodes.
 
−
; [[Shield Pack]] : The Shield Packs are only available on the east side of the map, one in a building near the north-east corner node and one in a building in the south-east base.
 
−
; [[Super Shield Pack]] : Instead of small Shield Packs, the west side of the map has Super Shield Packs, one in a building near the south-west corner node and another in a building in the north-west base. There's also a third Super Shield Pack in the center of the map between the bridges, right on the ice of the frozen river.
 
−
; [[Health]] : Health packs can be found near the power cores, the center nodes and the corner nodes. There are also some health vials in the bridge gates.
 
−
Other weapons are available from [[Weapon Locker]]s, one of which can be found near each power node, while each bases even contains two of them. All lockers contain the [[Link Gun]] and the [[AVRiL]] as well as two additional weapons from [[Shock Rifle]], [[Minigun]], [[Rocket Launcher]] or [[Lightning Gun]]. AVRiL ammo can also be found separately near all nodes and cores. Lightning Gun and Mine Layer pickups are also accompanied by corresponding ammo pickups.

Revision as of 07:04, 22 March 2009

Set among the crumbling ruins of the last Nali fortress, these icefields were the final stand of the Nali against the Skaarj. Driving their Stone Giants before them, the Skaarj lay siege to the city for three weeks, at last breaking down the perimeter wall and wiping out all within for their effrontery. Now an arena of Onslaught, the vast range of this location will test the teamwork and focus of the very best.

Map Description

Set on a frozen river on the surface of Na Pali, ONS-Dria's landscape is vast and barren. While the river "divides" the terrain vertically, a large wall does so horizontally, dividing the map into 4 sections, each of which has 2 powernodes with the powercores in the north-west and south-east sections. Distances are long and obstructions are few, making vehicles a necessity. Luckily, Dria boasts one of the largest arsenals in vehicles of any ONS map.

There are 2 ways to cross the river through connected powernodes. These cross near the center of the map near a pair of large, long bridge (the main landmark and chokepoint of the map). Although obtaining the powernode on the other side's riverbanks can give a fair advantage, it is not a guarantee to win the round. There's plenty more vehicular power at the various other nodes which which the disadvantaged team can fight back.
