Warboards Monthly Melee Mapping Contest

Each month (since I started the trend), various Warboards members will host a contest per month. As Warboards mappers are primarily melee mappers, we only have melee contests (though we plan to have UMS in the future).

Anyone interested merely needs to make an account and post their map in the thread. All maps due at the end of the month (or year, if you look at it that way), though posting your map in it's own thread for some feedback before you submit it in the contest will probably get you a higher grade. *hint hint ;)*

The top 4 maps and their authors are displayed on Starcraft.org in it's own news post.

Cool, does it have to be an obs or does it matter?



None.

Doesn't matter.

If it's an obs, make sure it works though. ;)



None.

Ok, I asked to sign up.

We should really have some SEN map contests again. I miss those... :(

Guess they won't happen for a while.



None.

Actually, I list all participants and their maps in the newspost, and all maps are included in the mappack for each contest. The only thing is that the first 4 get a more detailed explanation and are specifically listed as gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention.



None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
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:
