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.

UndeadStar -- https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
