Does This Exist?

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?

Vulture Nightmare is a great way to train. No idea where to get it though.

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...

I have a multitude of maps, but I'll get them later.

Soon, Brontobyte and I will be finished with a map that faces a computer that microes like a perfect human, so you will have that to practice on.


Untill then, here is a map to practice terran micro. (Very helpful) You only need 1 player, and you face a computer. You can fight it all day.

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.

I made a map like what you are asking to improve my own micro skill. Unfortunately, it's not on this computer. I'll give it to you when I can get it.

practice killing a burrowed lurker which won't unburrow. Shit's hard as hell. There's some extra levels in there too.
