<JangbiProbe> new map
<JangbiProbe> bam
With my startling revelation that the map making community could completely disappear, I knew what I must do. I've spared no expense and toiled to no end to avert the inevitable crash of map diversity and fresh infusions into the map pool. Here is a preliminary list of my new BROOD WAR maps to alleviate the gap that MSL, OSL and PL will leave behind.
Newb Python 1.12

To help encourage new players to try brood war, all vespene geysers have had their gas set to 1. I decided that it was important to leave them in to act as training wheels so you could learn to click geysers. Also all ramps out of mains are now blocked by 27 stacked temples to encourage macro play.
Nuked Python 1.992
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KWXGB.png)
Following the first maps idea, I programmed (don't ask how, trade secret) nuclear launches to to trigger every time more than one scv is idle at any time. The nukes cannot be canceled for any reason and land on all main base mineral lines. Time to practice that apm! Good luck!
Magenta Python 1.99

The map has been completely re tiled with magenta hues. This will cause everyone to become unconsciously angry and rush each other. To prevent this, I've also given workers 200 health and 3 armor.
Ye olden Python 4.44
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WbsEO.png)
All strategies invented after 2001 are banned. Any player that has more than 175 apm or expands before 40 supply automatically loses.
Python Ice 9.9911

Identical to vanilla Python, retextured to ice world. It will feel icy fresh compared to stale old vanilla python!!
First Trip Python Ø
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kDCcD.png)
All units have been given massive doses of hallucinogenic drugs. To ensure a complete authentic experience, I've made dragoon pathing three times as bad and turned marines into melee units. Zerg unchanged.
Look for great things to come once my superbly balanced maps are picked up by major tournaments everywhere.
