Whoever tried to get better at the game knows the difficulty of finding right practice partners, time to practice and ladder challenges with latency or lack of opponents.

Therefore I would like to ask for help for developing a practice map for zerg, specifically focusing on key aspects. I had a good map for practicing terran wraith macro and couple different things for terran, but I cannot find anything similar for zerg.

So key things to be on the map:

1) AI terran base layout consisint of primarly marine / medics / turrets / scvs / buildings where you can practice muta micro and easily rest the base (FS/Python layout or similar).
2) Ability to build up your base at the same time, e.g micro + macro pratice
3) Ability to practice move attack with drone, so a perpetually, somehow randomly moving SCV/Probe with infinite health that you can chase and attack move
4) Pre build hathery layout where you can macro on up to 6 hathes while microing (and units dissapearing or w/e)
5) Ability to spawn any unit at given area, to be able to quickly make different army composition for practice
6) Ability to reset the layouts in point 1, e.g respawn the whole base and units
7) Queen / broodling cloning micro practice
8) Button to add/remove 10.000/10.000 resources if you don't want to practice macro manually but just want to add some units from prebuild hatheries or add upgrade
9) Some extra like bunch of corsair / valkirie / vessel with irradiate etc. randomly distributed on the map to practice scourge/split micros

I can detail all above for someone who would pick up the challenge of making such a thing. I can also give examples from other maps.

Let me know what do you think and if you would be willing to help!

If memory services me right, I've played an ums like point 1 is describing 6-7 years ago on ICCup except on open ground. I imagine it would not be too difficult to recreate it on FS if the triggers are already available.

Edit: acutally the python map is not that bad as I test it now, so it is mostly missing the move attack with drone. ;-)

The Queen clone micro is something I've been wanting to practice, doesn't happen often enough in-game that the proper execution would stay in my muscle memory.
Mine gas, build tanks.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a drone vs zealot micro in the bottom left corner of that map unless I'm thinking of the wrong map.

Quite sure this is "escape from zealot" micro, you cannot fight a zealot with a drone.

There was a muta micro map with python that had about 1/3 of that list and a high focus on all aspects of muta. If i can find it Ill throw it here.

Found it! Hidden in the depths of my micro folder
