This is new 6-player impossible scenarios map I completed in late August. It deviates from the standard impossibles because the players don't have to beat all the scenarios to win. They achieve victory by beating 12 out of 16 scenarios and lose if they fail to beat 5 or more scenarios.

Another feature I threw in was the "variable players" system. Basically, if you start the game with less than 6 players, the units get evenly distributed to the current number of players. So theoretically you could play with 1 player and be okay on most levels. However, the resources that are given on certain levels aren't distributed, so the map has to be played with at least 5-6 people if you want to beat all the levels. Also, the level system is not linear. You can choose whichever level to play via a tank-siege-count selection system. There are also a forfeit option for all levels in case you get stuck, as well as booting, lag test, mute/unmute unit speech etc.

I haven't mapped in a while (since Hive Defence in 2005), so I am a little rusty on triggerwork. There is a rare glitch that happens (I started a topic in the UMS help section on this) and the units stop attacking the players. After long sessions of debugging I could not fix this glitch. However, it's rare enough that I feel it's not necessarily a major problem.

The map is protected, but if you want an unprotected version for reference, let me know and I'll email it to you.

Please provide feedback on the map and/or bugs and exploits you found (other than the one stated above).

I don't know if you have changed it from the version you posted on the Use Map Settings Assistance forum, but I played that version. I thought it was fun. It would be fun if you added a randomize option that randomized what choice you could get.

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

NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
