I'd like to ask you all what categories I should add to my map folder, so that when I'm ready, I can upload it to the site.
Currently, I have these categories:
My Categories
None.
I have about 25,000+ maps that I have sorted in my own personal folders. But there aren't very many categories.

lil-InfernoTake a peek at the categories in this map compilation.
Eh, thanks. But Renaka's sorting is kind of confusing, and it just doesn't fit well.
I want sorting in a different way than "A-Z". xD
None.
Organizing maps is kind of like organizing books or novels. You have to try to find general sweeping trends and assign them accordingly.
The other thing to keep in mind is how you intend to use the categories. Do you want them to be sorted in a way that allows you to access the maps easily? Then you should factor that in. Do you just want a comprehensive way to find each and every map when you want it, not really caring how long it takes so long as it does work? Then some thorough system with comprehensive sorting criteria would be best. It's kind of up to you and how you're going to use your maps.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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