Here is just an idea to throw out there. Maybe a project someone can work on is making an app on a mobile device that allows you to make/edit maps and then have the ability to export it to your computer. Not sure if it would be widely used but I'm sitting at work bored out of my mind and I would enjoy this right now.

Doesn't seem really feasible to do the graphic-oriented part of mapping on the small phone resolutions; placing terrain, units, locations, and sprites would be problematic with the constrained view and general inaccuracy of a touchscreen.
I think the more code-oriented parts of mapping could well be made mobile though, such as triggers, map settings, and the coordinates of units and locations (for things like creating grid-systems)

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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.[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
