Hey guys, I've been away from Starcraft for over 2 and a half years now, and I decided to get right back into mapping. Terrain-wise, this map isn't anything spectacular because it's simply not meant to be pretty. The gameplay is very similar to evolves: kill enemies, get heroes and upgrades, try to kill their Barracks. What I did differently was make it so that instead of 30 some "evolutions" there are 5 upgrades of your main unit. You can mine minerals at the top of the map to get a constant stream of money, as well as buy gas to get heroes. I made the heroes strong against units, but not overpowered to keep the game balanced. To clarify, if your hero is in a giant group of enemies, he WILL die fast, so use them strategically.

To buy gas, create a Shuttle at your Robotics Facility. To get extra miners, create a Probe at your Nexus and it will be automatically warped to your mining area. This map is 6 player teams, although free for all can be decided among the players. There is a Mass Attacker at the top-left to order your armies.

I know it's been done before, but I wanted to make the gameplay a bit more balanced, and to make sure people don't rig the map it's protected with the latest protection and tested with De-protectors, and out of all of them none worked. If you WOULD like the source map for learning purposes, feel free to PM me.

Map is attached.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.
