Getting started with the Galaxy Editor.

So I was thinking about making content for our seemingly empty Starcraft 2 Galaxy Editor wiki section, but since I do not have the editor or the beta I suppose I'd just post my thoughts here in hopes that someone gets started.

My reason? I've seen a few videos out there on the Galaxy Editor about how it works and such but to me it just doesn't really cut it and I think having the information in plain text and image can be much more helpful. For starters you can put a lot more information this way and you can easily edit it just in case you missed something, need to make it a bit more clear or just add more information. Once the game comes out, a lot of people would like to try and work with the editor and most would come to these types of sites for help and information on the new editor.

What I had in mind was something like this: http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/GalaxyEdit. Something simple, yet informative which can really be built up upon. Since we are just about one of the few dedicated map making sites around, it would be logical to build up this wiki and make full use of it. I really don't know about the current plans that the administration has with the wiki, or if any member can just edit it, but I believe it's a great way to really get started on being the premier Starcraft 2 map making site, just as we were and still are with Starcraft 1.

The sad and simple fact is... GE is just not simple
There is no way to explain it in a simple way. Because the program itself is very advanced.

Oh_Man -- Like it doesnt even bother to build a comsat unless it sees a lurker or dt, etc
[05:15 am]
Oh_Man -- Hope that makes sense. Also artosiscast just dropped a 1 hour vid he analayses a bunch of its games. The TLDR is the maphack is responsible for a large percentage of its wins because its just hard countering zerg rushes
[05:14 am]
Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that
[05:13 am]
Oh_Man -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: yeah but it looks like pluto's eAPM is still 6000 based on issuing all those orders
k the APM is inflated because it issues 12 identical orders individually. Its not 12 unique orders
[03:02 am]
Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units
[02:58 am]
Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff
[02:57 am]
Vrael -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations
