Just here for the activity... well not really

Now that the game loads from multiple places (see https://www.reddit.com/r/broodwar/comments/gk3vt1/so_where_is_all_the_maps_folders_located_for/)

What folder do you use for manually downloading maps to?

The user folder or the program files folder?

Also, is there no way to add polls in v5?

I run the game on Linux, so, the it is installer on my home directory and run via Wine/Lutris, so, '~/Documents/Starcraft/Maps' is a symlink to '~/Lutris/blizzard/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft/Maps'

So, technically, I store everything in the Program Files folder.

We do a little trolling

I just use the same old maps folder I always used. I think new maps are downloading to the documents folder automatically. I guess SC merges the results from both folders.

There is.. but I remember it being terribly counter intuitive to make work.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
