hi guys

can someone have a map like PsyStarcraft to test and train baneling/roach drops ?

i mean map created in galaxy editor to train this things.

Stanley Kowalski: I am not a Pollack. People from Poland are Poles. They are not Pollacks. But what I am is one hundred percent American. I'm born and raised in the greatest country on this earth and I'm proud of it. And don't you ever call me a Pollack.

I need someone to establish some map balancing idea that are exploitable for zerg.

ex: breakable terrain that reshadow back itself after certain amount of time?
give Terran different terrain usage that has RTS sense of weaknesses?


1. Single direction choked natural.
2. No cliffs overlooking minerals, or small cliffs.
3. High ground Overlord hiding spots near important locations.
4. Neutral creep
5. Limited number of reaper entrances to main.
6. Main to nat distance is one creep tumor or less.


can you explain to me what do you mean by single direction choked natural?

Is it a natural in the back of your base that is only open to your main? Or does it apply for something more?

I like the idea of neutral creep, though I don't think I'll simply make it exploitable on the center of the map, who would anyway, instead I think this can become lanes that isolate herds of numbers, a quick exit that can be punish by cliff positioning. And main and nat's distance consideration, number of creep tumor placement between main and nat are one clear and wonderful note, definitely will take it into every map's consideration. I must say notes like 3/5/6 are notes that I desperately need. I don't want to missout on anything like these.


Single direction choked natural is a natural that will only allow incoming pressure from a single direction (not allow enemies to flank around the the side).

An example of a good single direction choked nat is Lost Temple.

An example of a terrible nat for Z where the enemy can sneak around the sides is Xel'Naga Caverns.

A sort of inbetween example is Metalopolis

NOTE: Single direction does not mean tiny choked. Tiny choked nats are bad.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Is it possible that you only set 1 starting point?

If not, what does it say in the Map > Game Variants menu?

I'm not sure what exactly you mean with rescale, you can change the map size under Map > Map Bounds but you can't rescale all the terrain you've already added.

How do custom maps keep track of your record playing it? I played Nexus Word Wars and it announced my wins and losses when I played it for the second time. I'm not into custom maps that much but I was surprised to find out that Blizzard implemented a system where mapmakers can record stuff like that.

You can change the size of your map under Map -> Map Bounds.

It's not a doodad, but a unit. It's where the recource nodes are.

Ok, i have following problem when making a map. When placing any building to terrain it lifts the terrain for a bit underneath the building. Like the building is standing on top of small pyramid. This also happens when i test the map in game. CC has small "pyramid" underneath and when building new buildings "puramids appear under them.

Tried making 2 separate maps and this still happens. Help please.....

When I look at the overview manager, it says my map has only 1 active player, but I have no idea how to change it to 2... I have 2 starting locations, theres nothing wrong with them.

Go to Map -> Player properties. You will see, that all but Player 0 and Player 1 are grayed out.
Select Player 2 and set his "control" from "none" to "user".
Then go to Map -> Game variants and make sure that "Melee 1v1 (Default)" is there.

Advanced Question: Is it possible to create your own doodad and have it appear in melee maps? How would I do that?

Newbie Question: How do I lock spawns together to make them teams? Or for 1v1s or 4player maps, lock cross-spawns?

Somebody does know why sometimes a new made melee map (from scratch) ingame is available as melee and custom (never changed any settings and all my other melee maps are identified as melee (and not + custom)).

On this week's SOTG, there was discussion on the fact that on Shakuras Plateau 1v1 players always spawn in "cross position". This post clarifies that it just prevents close vertical position spawns. Does this happen with any other 2v2 maps for 1v1 ladder games? It'd be great to know that I don't need to scout a starting position for a map if I don't have to.
