Pawn Sacrifice

The Sarlacc Pits of Tatooine

C-3PO:
"You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the Almighty Sarlacc."
Han Solo: "Doesn't sound so bad."
C-3PO: "In its belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years."
Han Solo: "On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?"

Sound level sucks so CRANK it up!!!

Map is 100% done, but there’s only 2 humans testing it so who knows what the hell will happen when 6 humans play it. 3 teams>each with 2 Zerg players. 20 overlord HEAD DROPS RULE! You start with 5 drones, a hatchery, an extractor, 2 overlords....oops make that 1 overlord and 100 300 gems & gas. You can upgrade armor and weapons to level 4. Stay away from the sarlacc pits they WILL devour anything that gets close to them. I am not kidding. Shift Right-Click!

I hear that they are rather mobile when young and tend to show up near clusters of Zerg which in sarlacc is translated as: 'food', but as of yet we haven’t had positive confirmation.

Usually, I don’t make maps with easy 2nd gem/gas spots, but I did on this map.

All geysers are set to 7,000 and gems to 2,000 each. Fog of War is disabled. I used Falkoner's DESERT doodads BRUSHSET -see attachments-to add some flair to the map >>>the rest is me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, I’m a wealthy miser…

Destroy all your enemies or ONE of your team has to harvest 15K mineral and 15k of gas to win. As the game progresses you may have one run defense while the other focuses on harvesting. DO NOT PLAY THIS MAP IN MELEE MODE > no vespene gas in starting position > use the melee map – see attached. I added a notification text if a player hits 13k and 14k minerals or gas so you know who to sabotage. To add a little spice the Almighty Sarlacc has offered 200 mineral and 200 gas for a sacrifice to feed her little buggers. I recommend you feed the rugrats one Zerg at a time since they can't count yet. One day, maybe, someone will show me (which means they will write the trigger) how to add up all the Zerg sacrifices for a leaderboard score to show who is the most unfeeling, sadistic player.

Later, I was thinking a 6 Terrans map might be interesting for those who like nukes raining down on them which means I will set up an all-TERRAN version map with 5th level armor upgrades and 700-800 hit-point bunkers and 300 hit-point missile turrets. Nukes alone will not win the game for you nuking nutcases. UNLESS you double ghost and drop 2 nukes simultaneously on a spot. My favorite is the 2 ghost - 3 nuke combo with a Wraith squad and 2 drop ships of Goliaths to mercy kill the remaining wounded. Ahhhhh, so satisfying…

Always wanted to do sarlacc story since I first bought Starcraft in 1999 for MAC. I always hoped they would one day be converted to a unit or unit sprite. Alas, it did not happen. In conclusion, just so you know, ALL AJT maps are open-sauce, do what you want to them. I won’t press charges.

Enjoy and REMEMBER… it's only a GAME,
Andreas

Starcraft: It's only a game. We didn't cure cancer. Loosen up.
1 'severity' down, 9 'severities' to go!
Is that better? Gotta get on a budget & work off my negative mineral debt. It all started with Pong at the Hilltop Diner in Queens in 1973.
