Awesome map. I have around ~100 apm but I'm having tons of trouble even on easy. I'm trying to really stick to my build order and be on the screen with the probe to hand move it around as much as possible. I feel like this recreates the actual game conditions as much as possible. Like other people have said it would be cool to be able to view your apm but I only wanna see mine after I'm done to see if I'm actually improving and to test my apm with different races and builds.

An Absolutely Awesome Map (AAA Map).

I am a diamon player which always rank around 10 after every reset and i find your map is super useful for training. Multitasking is what Starcraft alway about, macro your base, harass, defend against harass, micro your army, get map control, scout...

I have just downloaded the 0.93 version and it have everything, but the micro your army part.

I play the map on hard and i find it is really hard and make me try over and over again for about 18hours before i get it done.

I think it gonna be a nice extra if the 0.95 version having:
- APM meter , show your APM.
- Add a micro army island:
Make the Executor island half of what it is now. The other half gonna have an neutral Army vs another army. You have to micro your army to win.
The map gonna require you to do it a couple of time depend on the difficulty setting.

It would be sick if it was multiplayer and you could play another person having to micro at their base doing all the same crazy stuff. If you can add in an apm meter plz put in the option to turn it off and only view the apm after it's done. I'm wondering how people are viewing the reps? I've tried dragging on dropping and viewing the reps logged into battle.net and it says it can't open them.

No. The replays can be viewed if you launch the map from the editor with Ctrl+T as test document. Then when you finished playing it you can view the replay from Battle.net ordinarily.

That is correct! Apparently, you can watch the replay normally if you launch the map from inside the editor (it's located in the same folder as the sc2 executable). Ctrl+T however creates a new trigger, Ctrl+F9 is used to test the map (at least in my version?).

So I guess APM problem solved :D

Or
put the map into game folder: ..\StarCraft II Beta\Maps\
"To run the map just drag it onto the Starcraft 2 shortcut on your Desktop."

How are people beating this with zerg? I'm a diamond zerg with 100 apm but I can't beat it on normal. I've tried one base and two base baneling and roach. I've even tried baneling dropping the command center and that's the closest I've gotten but so many ov's get shot down. Maybe I just need better micro with the ov's?

Great map! Thank you!

- Disable "Planetary Fortress" for Terran.
- MMM-drop. Imho, he's too strong (2 Medivac + 4 Marauder + 8 Marine (sometimes: + 1 Medivac from 1-st attack wave

) <> 1 Thor <> 4 Hellion)

why punish the use of waypoints? i thought that even pros use waypoints on their scout probe, so that they can more easily multitask

It is not a punishment for using waypoints the purpose of the map is to help with multitasking. If I can do 10 things at once then doing less in the actual game (ie you would be using waypoints to minimize the multitasking)
