You can't make more locations. There is such a low limit because Blizzard is retarded.

There are tricks for saving locations, though. Reusing/recycling locations, burrowed units and elevation difference being of the most prominent.

Also this belongs in UMS Assistance.

Try placing an observer at the center of where each 3x2 location would be in both areas
Then using one 3x2 location center on an observer in the first base, and center another 3x2 location on an observer in the second base. Move all buildings from the first 3x2 to the second 3x2 location and give the observer in each base to a different player. That way the next time you center on an observer it will center on the next place. Thus you'd copy this trigger as many times as there are 3x2 places you want to switch buildings.

Just make sure you place the observers in the same order on both sides.

That may look like it from today's perspective, but Blizzard really isn't.
10 years ago games had to be programmed very efficient and nobody could have thought what new worlds would emerge from this powerful tool they gave us: Triggers.
It was like a revolution back then. And today still many games come with simple terrain/doodad editors and nothing more.

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
