This is a map that I made before and I improved on it a little. It is not actually part of any campaign, but it does act like one :D

Anyway I just want to know what you think....

It looks interesting, I think maybe some backstory might be in order?

If you wanted, you could change the starting race. Playing it as a terran or protoss mission... Since there's no story attached.

Was no real story behind the campaign, just normal old melee map.

Map was a little too big imo, was too simple with no objectives or side objectives. Just destory all enemies with no defeat or victory triggers.

I guess ok for a try a map, was somewhat fun playing it.



If all else fails, crowbar the fucker

Hmmm... I am sure I put in victory and defeat triggers... :|

Anyway, if anyone thinks that these kinds of maps will be good with a back story then you can ask to use it if you want to. The reason I did not write a story for it was it would have most likely sucked coming from me :blush:

Anyway, I am working on another map that is the same style, but I might change one of the races and see what kind of side missions I can add. If any one has any ideas, then feel free to post.

Well the general storyline for most RTS campaigns involves someone having a superweapon, and then everyone else attempts to destroy/capture it for their own use. [In Starcraft it was the Zerg!] Try starting on that point and work it out from there.

Thanks alot for the tips, greatly appreciated :D

I am starting to come up with a story for my second map, and I decided that in my third I might include all three races.

Nice, good ol' TvPvZ.

Oh, something I learned from my campaign. Don't have more than 2 or 3 heroes. [The occasional extra hero is okay, but keep a "base" of 1 or 2 heroes that you use in most maps in said campaign, although you're making a single map, maybe a sort of series is in order. Not so much a campaign, but a bunch of "episodes" which have no particular order. But all follow the same plot with the same characters etc.]

Oh_Man -- Hope that makes sense. Also artosiscast just dropped a 1 hour vid he analayses a bunch of its games. The TLDR is the maphack is responsible for a large percentage of its wins because its just hard countering zerg rushes

Vrael shouted: yeah but it looks like pluto's eAPM is still 6000 based on issuing all those orders
k the APM is inflated because it issues 12 identical orders individually. Its not 12 unique orders

Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting

Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units

Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff
