Hey guise, I was looking for a particular kind of map and I stumbled across this forum... perhaps you can help me find it?
I'm looking forward to Starcraft 2 (who isn't?), but to be quite honest I suck at the game. I've been playing it for years, but I never really got the hang of micromanagement so I kind of hit a brick wall. I thought I could help myself out by joining some micro tournament games, but everyone is either micro pros and I get whipped, or all anyone wants to do is mass dragoons vs hydras.
Anyways, I was wondering if there was a single-player map out there designed to help players learn how to micro. For example, the game starts you off with an easy micro task, such as taking out a zealot with a single vulture, then progressively gives you more difficult micro tasks. Once you can beat the game, you're a micro pro. This sounds like something that someone somewhere along the line would have made, so I figured I'd ask you map gurus. If nobody's heard of one, would one of you be up to the challenge of making one? I know I could just play vs humans and focus on micro, but that's a really slow process. I'd like a single-player map that gives you one micro challenge after another in rapid succession to essentially maximize my micro-learning efficiency.
Anyone know if this map exists or up to the challenge of making it?
Thanks for the fast reply. I Googled it and came up with this: http://www.vilegaming.com/maps.x/27 but it says it requires at least 5 or 6 players. I'm really looking for something I can play by myself so it's not based off of someone else's skill level. Sorry, I know I'm being really specific...
Impossible maps are pretty good, the ones with specific unit names, like Impossible Hydra or Impossible Ghost, I also think there's an Impossible Dragoon and an Impossible Vulture map.

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
