Map Name: Martian Defense
Terrain: Ashworld
Size: 64x64
Players: 4
Version: PRE-beta
By: RineWh0re (Palathism)

Description: Kind of a new twist to defenses, having ground attacking from the bottom and, starting at wave 5, air from the top. Ground forces are on a 'Wave' set up. Air forces constantly spawn for a set period of time, gradually getting stronger with each ground wave.
Rather than purchasing units as your main defense, you can select either the [Gatling Gun] (Floor Gun trap) for ground or [Missile Turret] (Missile Turret?) for air whenever you get a [Selector]. This can allow players to either focus on the ground units, the air units or both!

Currently Need Help With: Testing Units, Wave Strength and Trigger Reliability.
In Search Of: Testers or Defense mappers that will give valid, legible feedback.

If you are interested in assisting and would like a look at the map itself, please PM me. Thank you.

UMS assistance is for helping people debugging their map/specific questions on trigger mechanics (even though the title of the forum fits your request). Balance and such can go in the showcase/production forum. You aren't ever going to get anyone to co-author your map. I would also suggest attaching a copy of the map (don't worry about people stealing it, if you post it here, your name is forever on it) so people can play it alone whenever you have a working copy.

I'm putting this in the production forum for now.

here's the advivce: give up, or finish it immediately. making maps isnt really going to work since no one seems to play much starcraft anymore, and it will only get worse.

Until SCII comes...

There doesn't seem to be a lot of places to defend against air units...
In contrast, ground attackers have too much of a wide open space to attack.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
