Aw. Why would you want to do that? He's just a little kid and he's just learning. To be honest, I feel kinda bad. I'm a terrible ally as I tunnel vision on what I'm doing. Whenever I teach someone, I can not be playing at the same time. I hate stopping to type directions or to coordinate attacks.

I will try to do this. I might reupload a couple pics, but we'll see. I wanted to cut out any dead space so I could fit more pics on without making it a chore to scroll through.

edit.
K, I added a sprinkling in. I already like it better. I originally only thought of copy pasting the mini-map on the last pic, but it helps tell more of the story.

I'll cross-post links when I post Part 2. I think I'll probably won't update until the next weekend as it takes time to find all the images and narrow down from my point form text document with the event timings. Also, I don't want to hog the Featured blog section, so I'll let this one get bumped off before posting the next.

Thanks for all the positive responses! Based on my other strictly BW blogs, I thought 2k, maybe 3k views.

Maybe you could do one of those BWChart gifs. Where you see the army movement/map control.

Man this brings back so many good memories. Played these for years with 4-6 people before I even heard of TL. Predicting a Two Cities win, Triple Alliance will all die to those tanks and won't macro up another army as quickly

That map is sick too by the way!

This blog is literally saving eSports. It also brings back so many good memories.

How about a 256x256 2v2v2v2 map instead, now that sounds awesome!


Incidently, 256x256 is the map size I started making my 8 player maps because I figured I needed the space with that many players. I found it was much too big. Way too easy to hide bases in the corner, hard to make interesting features on the map and too hard to be aggressive in the early game.

I've permanently switched to 192x192. I find it's a nice balance between getting enough expos to feel to match the expo number of 1v1 proleague maps like Fighting Spirit, but tight enough that armies are constantly clashing in the mid-game. You can find a corner to re-establish yourself, but can't keep corner hiding once they start scouting properly.

Good read. I've only ever played vs friends back in 2001 or so, so I miss team games a lot
