Forgot to mention it in the previous post, but we also refreshed our 2v2 map pool:
If you were tired of Iron Curtain, now's your chance

From my perspective it looks funny but I remember being in that situation 10 years ago and a top 2v2 player did the same to me. I was down bad lmao. Weird I noticed the opposite. Being a 2v2 player, I see a lot of very BM 1v1 players when they are my ally. They are really poor losers and never can take the blame for the loss.

Which folder are the maps located for Shield Battery in SC?

If you're asking where it *downloads* maps to, that's stored in your user data folder, but isn't really intended for human consumption and I wouldn't recommend trying to browse it.

Thanks for the quick reply! Would it be possible to have a map pack link added in Shield Battery to get the maps manually?

It's sort of a pain to maintain and distribute things outside of our existing map system so I don't plan on it, but could you explain why you want to download the maps separately? Maybe we can try to solve that in some other way

It would be much easier to have them in one folder to access for practice games. Currently can't seem to find some of these maps. Even a downloadable link for a zip file with all the maps would do. Anyway just a suggestion if it can be implemented.

@TT1 regarding your expressed desire to add a 2v2 shared bases map, I think that would be epically awesome!! Something innovative that Broodwar never done before and I think iccup never did. Let's add some more depth to this old game and try it out!!! Also, I support adding Polypoid but keeping Hunters/Python/FS like you recommended. Hunters good to bring in the Hunters players.

Yup, we'll definitely try it out eventually, should be fun. It'll add a different feel/more variety to 2v2 by making slower/non z teams like PP/TT/PT more viable.
It's definitely gonna turn 2v2s into slower/more passive games imo, some ppl might like that more. Or if that's not your cup of tea you can just veto and stick to the classic 2v2 maps.

So if you're playing on ShieldBattery, you don't need to have them at all, you can just pick them out of the Official Maps list when you create a lobby. Were you confused about that part, or are you trying to play on them outside of ShieldBattery?

looks interesting but the issue is it's a UMS map :[, that's the biggest problem with shared bases maps

Yes trying to play them outside of Shield Battery.

Shieldbattery is a great program for experienced 2v2 players. I am not a bad player I don't think, but learning 2v2 on here is difficult, because no one wants to ally because of my poor record and match making puts you up against higher mmr teams. I think for the longevity of SB it'll be important to get new blood.
I'd suggest an unranked option which pairs against ranked players so an experienced player can take a newbie under their wing and teach them without destroying their record.

I have same problem as Mutaller. Get roflstomped over and over again by team stackers.

You didn't even know how to make units follow each other (twice btw, among other things) so I don't think the opposing team is the problem here. Maybe you just need to get better at the game?
Sorry to call you out like this but perspective is important. When a noob blames smurfs or "team stackers" like they aren't using the ladder as intended, it sort of loses its potency.
