USEast is great for war-game related custom maps.

From Civil War battles/campaigns to WW2 diplomacy to Punic Wars to Sengoku in Japan. If you're into war-game type maps and diplomacy games (no, not 7.7) come hang out in channel "pub" USEast.

I use to love making UMS for BW. I made a RPG called Legend of Magi 10+ years ago that was inspired by Diablo 2 with town portals (arbiter ability) and way points. I just found out there was a TL thread about it too: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=49471

I see a good number of cat and mice (don't know which versions) lurker d (although, again, don't know if it's the type you remember) and micro tourney games on iccup.

Man, I used to love playing LotR: Last Alliance (and only Last Alliance, it was the only one that felt balanced and wasn't all teleport spam with arbiters, making army positioning actually important.)

I don't think anyone plays it anymore which is too bad, I'm not huge on tower defense type stuff and I loved those maps that basically turned BW into a whole new RTS game. I'm sure theres other stuff, but I haven't been able to play UMS in forever.

I can't believe no one mentioned the IMPOSSIBLE SCENARIOS and DESERT STRIKE by Lanthanide

OMG these were so hard... possibly why they were named impossible -_-
I liked the impossible missions where if you lost you just started the mission over again. Much less frustrating.

Never got into sc2 ums. They aren't bad. Most are remakes of the original's.

There are some REALLY difficult Special Forces UMS, namely the ones where you get overwhelmed by tons of AI units early and need to micro a ton to survive and ball up.

Lots of fun with friends/decent players.

"I spent most of my time playing Used Map Setting games because I sucked at melee" I sucked at both but played melee more. I was above average on US East though but that ain't saying much. Seemed like ums was about knowing tricks that nobody else knew like combinations (golems).

I wanted to punch these idiots in the face who hosted the rigged maps. Seriously....why waste people's time on rigged maps?

I used to love playing imposible maps with my house mates. Its about the only type of starcraft you can play whilst drinking.

now me too...I remember this one map where you would have ghosts and everyone had a bunker. You never were supposed to nuke the bunker directly because your ghost was dead meat, but you'd do it just a little bit away from their bunker so you could kill a bunch of their ghosts and get a heros from killing people. You could build nukes but it took forever for it to recharge and the bunker had 9999. That was super fun but nobody really liked the map much so it made finding decent players hard to find.

Hi Rotad! Ya a few of us still hang out in pub (20 were online today actually). I came back like a month ago and was shocked to see people still playing good strategy UMS so I stuck around and more people randomly come back all the time lol.

There's a ton of new war-related maps and half of them are not bad at all.
