Thanks for making the map. My multitasking is really my weakest area in SC2, so this is quite helpful. Beat it my first try on easy but only with my very last probe alive with very low HP. Good work!

Another good addition might be to fail the player if their orbital command/queen/nexus gets too high on energy, great map. beat it very easily on easy, but i have trouble macroing a large enough army on Medium.. or im not microing the battle enough..

Thanks again, this map is great fun! On my first try I failed on easy and though I may never beat it. Got that on my 2nd try then failed a bunch on Normal. Once I finally got the hang of jumping around I was consistently making it the 15 minutes, but could not kill the enemy. Finally I found the right unit composition to do it. Great practice, and no doubt it will aid me in my multitasking. Couple more runs at Normal and I will give Hard a shot.

I cannot keep my probe alive on hard for the life of me

I can get past the reapers and that first terran attack, but the macro afterwards keeping my minerals down while microing the probe is tough

especially when you get supply blocked

is there a way to simulate lag? Its disconcerting when my probe moves instantly often running into the zergling.

Now i've got the hang of how to stop the probe from slowing down i'm doing pretty good, just beat Normal with 30 seconds to spare and 127 apm average!! Considering i normally have less than 80 in game thats a damn fine improvement if i do say so!

Thanks for making this, its a great tool and i'm already feeling like a much faster player.

Make zergling speed and accelaration slower, it attacks the probe even without waypoints if you mess even a bit when turning... Also I think, that even waypoints shouldn't be punished, as you don't won't to control your probe manually when the big battles occure. And make easy with faster speed or game speed to be choosable.

Other than that, great job man, thanks

Should put a zealot (just like the BW ver), instead of a ling. At least on easy and normal. I would definitely keep the ling on hard mode. Thanks for making this UMS! Definitely fun and much better than the BW ver!

Nope, you just need to practice your turns. I've managed to survive the whole game without losing the first probe on normal mode.

I would recommend a natural base for atleast us zergs. Playing on one base is so slow and boring, and I dont even know how to do it. I do build another hatchery beside my base, but I really need the mass minerals. As zerg I dont have problems with keeping the economy down as long as I use larva.

I tried this on a ranked match, and oboy I lost so terrible, got supply capped and couldnt even get my first queen out, simply gg'ed right there.. jesus I really need this so thanks for the effort.

It's not hard to add a natural in your own on the map editor. I've done it to my copy.

For the love of god, please get rid of the rock at the bottom right. I've beaten this on hard mode and I can say with out a doubt the worst part is that Fing rock.

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about. Your probe can get stuck on the rock and not move, doesn't take a vet of this game to realize if your probe does not move for even 1/2 a second it's dead.

Not an option but ideally I want something to force scouting. (Perhaps make scouting part of the next level of difficulty)

My vote is for more advanced AI so you can't mass and attack walk. Also randomize the events but give signs on how to predict them. Make it so you have to scout. For example, make it so the medvacs come and land from some direction (immune medvacs) rather than a set location. Or perhaps make it so you have to move the unit you pick up into 1 of 5 locations that you can only know if you have done proper scouting.
