Use Map Settings

Use Map Settings (UMS) is a StarCraft game type. In UMS games, the map's triggers are executed, pre-placed units are processed, and all alterations to unit, upgrade, and tech data are applied.

UMS games tend to vary widely from traditional melee games due to the range of gameplay alterations made possible by the game's trigger system. Many UMS games place very little emphasis on traditional real-time strategy gameplay. They can have storylines, pre-placed units, and entirely new game mechanics (such as the micromanagement and leveling up of a character, or the infinite generation of computer-controlled hordes).
