Actually, that popped into my head as well when I read the rules. I stuck to 1 on my submission though, just to be safe. It would be nice to know though. | ||

The theme is "Zerg Invasion", Order 227 1.0 + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8638/jpegqx.jpg) Order 227 1.1+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7363/jpeg2.jpg) Not to totally bash on you, but the format of this map makes it impossible for Zerg to 12 hatch effectively, yet at the same time, they can't easily be aggressive with pool first builds. | ||

True, however, it also means that the other races have time to prepare a defense at the backdoor entrance (there will be one, dependent on their choice of primary expansion). I haven't seen anything like this before, so I wanted to try it, and see how it plays out. And this gave me the excuse to actually get out and make the map. It is still not done, and if anyone with sick deco skills wants to do their thing on it, just pm me to let me know. That is one thing I suck at..... | ||

Now I understand and can place neutral structures easily, however zerg building sprites do not seem to appear with creep, yet other users have managed to upload maps that include buildings such as creep colonies with surrounding creep. If somebody could reply or PM me or whatever, instructing me on how to place neutral zerg structures with creep, it would be appreciated. Thanks, Shawn  | ||

If somebody could reply or PM me or whatever, instructing me on how to place neutral zerg structures with creep, it would be appreciated. Okay, go to "sprites", then "unit sprites", then choose your sprite, set the user to "player 12 (neutral)", and then place sprites to your hearts content. Be careful with some of the sprites though - dark swarm, if not placed right, can cause the map to crash BW, for instance. EDIT - if you're wondering about just how the photo shows the creep - then place both the sprite and the neutral building on the same spot. It will show the creep (thanks to the neutral building), and the sprite will appear in the game. | ||

Map name: Abahus Kymon Zerg Invasion Theme. I've done my best to break the map open so it would be less tight. In my opinion Zerg and Protoss now have enough room to break out either west or eastward. there are enough alternate paths exist imho. The use of neutral buildings are the embodiment of the zerg invasion theme. The mineral only 'Island' near the big bridge is accessible only for workers unless you kill the neutral Ultralisk Cavern. I would love some praise or critique. Here is my official entry; ![[image loading]](http://img687.imageshack.us/i/abahuskymon091.jpg/) more info here; http://www.panschk.de/mappage/comments.php?mapid=3989 | ||

Are you saying that if i place both a sprite and neutral unit, the creep will show? | ||
