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 -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
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.
*Pluto's wraiths

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
[2026-9-21. : 4:14 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
[2026-9-21. : 3:44 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it
[2026-9-21. : 2:58 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
