I really like playing these type of scripted scenarios where you, the player, needs to defend up for X minutes while the AI throws increasingly harder waves of units at you. I loved playing the War3 scenarios "March of the Scourge" (where the human Arthas has to defend a town for 30 minutes from the UD), "Under the Burning Sky" (where the evil Arthas defends Kel'Thuzad for 30 minutes from the humans), "Twilight of the Gods" (final RoC scenario where the night elves defend the world tree with the help of the humans and orcs) and Starcraft's Twilight Struggle map.

Are there any such fan-made maps that are very fun to play? I'm not talking about tower or hero defense mind you, you're actually playing melee but 100% defend.

Its a physical impossibility for a fan to make a reasonable survive mission. Inevitably the creators god complex will make it so you lose.

There's always the zombie survival variant. Most of them are pretty boring once you build up enough defense since you generally play T.

If you like melee campaign-style maps, try the Endless series, which are remakes of the campaign maps with increased difficulty. They usually require 3-6 players though.

There was "Art of Defense" a while back. That was pretty intense.

Umm, in half an hour, any reasonable player would be able to go out and defeat the zerg beforehand.....

Oh, and I have a few ideas on how setup triggers for a defense-only map, which would be adapted to the strength of your current army, rather than being waves of set strengths.

Yeah me too, I'd always take over the Z base and then use the resources to max out 200/200 before the time ran out with only Vutures, Marines and SCVs

Yep.... and? "Kind of like" is a pretty important part of my sentence to just glaze over.

that one where you're supposed to defend zeratul and artanis while they power up the xel'naga temple

i always used cheats and just made 12 sairs and mass reavers and basically only made scarabs (sairs to kill guard/muta). mass reavers so amusing

There used to be this one map called Defend the temple. Back in the day god that was an awesome map. Wasn't difficult though. Seems to have died in this age.

2 EZ, just timing float ur factory up the cliff and spam tanks and structures down there.

Here are a couple maps I edited:

AoS 9.0 (1-4 players)

pick any race and defend the different waves of units for like 30 minutes.
First wave is just enough time to make lurkers/dts/ranged wall for 60 cracklings, and then it gets harder and harder every 3 minutes, with even some units spawning inside your base or flanking you, even nukes outside of your tank range.
http://massmirror.com/440e2a3cdab4db5674df3d9c6286f016.html
(yes i've beaten in with every race. imo its goes z,t,p from hardest to easiest)


Twilight Struggles (1-2players)
The original map came in a patch update a few years ago with a bunch of other terribad melee maps and fixes. Basically what happens is you start in a fully open middle base area with random waves of units attacking you. As time goes on the waves get more powerful units and more units in general. The goal is not just to survive but to build up a strong enough econ and army to strike the 4 heavily guarded cerebrates (hero units, static de, etc) at each corner. Also, when you kill one- it pisses them off. The OG map is T vs Z, I modded a bunch of maps so it can be PvZ, ZvZ, and even a TvP version (that is impossible, the others I have beaten though). There was a thread about these maps as well.
http://massmirror.com/1b1ffc0948ab06a33582d3d32aec0664.html

So this should hold you over for like a week or two lol.

If it doesn't, you could try to assemble a team and beat the 'Offensive Strike' maps.

PS- PM me if you need a partner or whatever.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Ha, I actually did a scenario like that as a first mission of my custom campaign a looong time ago for WC3. I finished it but then I got lazy and stopped working on the campaign..
I'd love to play it now but I doubt I'd still find it
