Protection strength is useless, because any map can be unprotected. I stick with GUEdit, which can be unprotected by anything, but it doesn't mess with my sound compressions like a lot of "stronger" protectors (and even compressors; TinyMap makes a lot of my maps larger).

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

compression >>> protection. Tinymap or scompress. Both will keep out the bnet noobs.

I'd rather not upload the map. Will a screenshot work?

If not, I'll pm the map.

Whatever you use don't use Shadow Protector! That program will crash your game in the briefing for everyone if anyone in the game is a MAC User as the protection it uses makes macs unable to recognize the map.

Furthermore if you get a lot of reports of your map crashing in the briefing a lot get someone with a mac to test it for you as you might have found another protector that screws up games which MAC Users are in.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
