This is an old map that I made a year and a half ago. Then college and scholarship apps took over for a while (yes I'm a high schooler). Now that I'm free of all that junk I decided to pull this out again and polish/balance it as some friends told me they could beat this game solo (it's a 7-player map... I'm ashamed). Enemy and upgrade balance is better now, and some awkward parts in previous versions were fixed as well (like the ability of any player to boot any other player... kinda twisted). I put more heroes options and various secrets in the map that can distinguish experienced players from noobs immediately.

This map is obviously extremely difficult for the first-timers, but as you get the hang of the nuances of every level it can be beat easily. I sat down with 6 friends and spent < 1 hour beating the entire game... including the surprise at the end. How does the game go you ask? Well... if you played anything along the lines of korean d or spire d then I think you should get the idea. However, things are considerably more brutal in hive d.

If you beat the game plz send a replay to my email vokuheila@gmail.com so I can see how people beat it. Thanks!!

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

Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that

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
