basically here's how map works.
There are 3 slot boxes per player... player 1 to 6 ultralisks rotate in em... u use civ to stop on color ur trying to get.
You want to get 3 of same color ultralisk to kill that player and remove them from game.
Last person still in game gets a point.... then it starts over... first to 3 wins... (sorta like hot potato but with slots)

Error 1: Ok... players 1 and 2 should be completely triggered now (P2 3rd point not trigger right yet... only P1)... all except for the give victory and defeat parts (will still tell u that you won)... Every now and then I will get a cannot create unit error, because sometimes it will not remove an ultralisk, no clue why. (HAS BEEN SOLVED)

Error 2: Not sure if the problem is fixed or not, but there also may be a issue where if you win... the missed trigger runs over and over... need that problem solved also -.- (HAS BEEN SOLVED) (Added for only P1 so far not P2)

Error 3: New error: after P1 wins (gets 3rd point) P2 gains 1 point also multiple civs appear instead of just 1 (HAS BEEN SOLVED)

Map Attached! (Updated 03/24/2010 4:29 PM Central USA)

(Need 2 players to test... you can host publicly if u need to in order to test)

First off, instead of posting 3 times in a row, use the "edit" button on your original post.

"Cannot Create Unit" errors occur when the area at the center of a location is "unwalkable," or units can't walk on it. If you're using SCMDraft, when you click a unit on the unit tree to place it, it darkens in black all the areas which are unwalkable.

It's an error with removing and placing apparently... not a error with starting unit placements ;-/

I order you to forgive yourself!

The error only appends because you create a unit for a player then remove it and create the same unit for an other player. In some conditions, the unit doesn't get removed and the units are created on top of each other (In a small location with walls around.)

To solve the error all you need to do is make it so instead of removing and recreating, you can just use the give action. Also make sure that if you do create the unit that the location is empty.

I don't want to use the give action... need another solution... TY

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
