Could someone help me understand why we dont use asymmetric maps? I get the idea of it being "unbalanced" however I think it can still be explored to make it balanced


No one's good enough to make two sides significantly different yet dynamically balanced across six match-ups (though it's the mirrors that are probably the most problematic here). Even if someone somehow did make a map like that, the players would never accept it and play it.

Hey everyone,

I used to play pretty regularly back in Wings of Liberty days and was OK back then (low diamond toss, mid plat zerg, low plat terren) but haven't played for many years. Last time I was following the scene Nestea and MVP were going back and forth with GSL wins. I thinking of getting back into the game and was wondering where the best place to find recent builds is. I checked liquipedia, but the strategy sections look a bit outdated.

In case there are multiple standard builds, stylistically I liked the iechoic hellion banshee build for tvt and hellion => banshee => 2 thor timing push for tvz and tvp; for zvz and zvp i liked roaches into roach hydra infestor and muta ling bane vs terran. For toss i played 4 gate vs other toss (not like you had a choice) and then played 2 gate robo expand into 3 base blink stalker colossus vs zerg and terran. Any pointers to modern builds that have a similar feel to these would be appreciated. If nothing like this is really meta anymore any hints to what I should be doing these days would be appreciated. THanks.


This it the mapmaking subforum--you should ask this question in the strategy subforum: https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-strategy/. That being said to find the current builds you can look at: https://lotv.spawningtool.com/.

How can I prevent having to download online maps even now and then again? Like the same versions that I already have?

Some of the custom maps are 100-300mb big. I think it's really unecessary to redownload the same map of the same version again and again... so what's wrong here...? I'm having limited bandwith and want to use it for playing or downloading occasionally... Thanks for the guidance.

For the map contest people often mention things like time from natural to natural, or main ramp to main ramp walk distance, or even sometimes distance from one sides third to the other’s forth, although main to main and nat to nat are the most often mentioned.

Is there anywhere these stats are listed for all the ladder maps so that I could put these figures in the context of maps I play regularly when I hear them used to describe new maps?

You have to do the work, gaming is online gaming now,
don't shoot the messenger

Nope, you have to do the leg work,
pretty easy, you just open a map vs ez ai and send your worker
from main to main, from 4th to 4th etc

Moreover if you do do the legwork and fill a tabler with the results, then you can post it / share it with us

These are not the maps played regularly today, but maybe it might help put rush distance into some kind of context:

Is there any secret to getting the SC2 editor to run smoothly on a Mac? With the most current OS, the editor crashes when resizing the minimap window, going to the units tab, etc., rendering it unusable. I will install bootcamp if necessary but I wanted to check if anybody has an alternative solution!

macs don't get much if any love from blizzard,

to answer your question: i bought a windows pc to use galaxy a few years ago ..
the numbers of bugs/crashes was huge and some of those are crippling (like doodad or unit tab not showcasing anything for instance) while others are worst (like u do all the map and find out blizzard servers tell you it can't be uploaded / played ) sob stories galore # even worse (bugs/things that are in the code and you can't even access etc)

i mean some maps take months/years to do.. there is no way to make a sane environment to bring out a stable map that works for every comp anywhere on a mac.. or at least i settled on not going crazy and got a pc to use galaxy (oh boy microshiot pc is s hit)

i mean you can't work and thrive if your not even sure of your own local version !!!

i would say gl with bootcamp but not even sure it is worth trying that sorry for bad news !

gl

if you ever need/want help, drop me a line, it will be my pleasure to try to
(if you are persisting in using a mac and need stuff "missing" or bugged) .. mapmaking is awesome and should be shared

ps: worst thing? i bought / set up the windows pc just for galaxy.. i use it and it is so quick so efficient etc.. 1 month in : the libraries open very slow / access to them is as slow as can be and i feel back on my old mac again (grrrrrrr!!!) but at least
no more bugs (or hardly ever).

again gl and do hear me when i say you don't need to suffer through this alone

Anyone else lose "heart of the swarm" dependencies?
Edit:
i fixed it but mmm.. was this a different patching?..
mmm? dunno could have been me having too many and then crash ?
funny thing is .. don't try to get the localized dependencies or you will be trapped between a rock and a hard place.. if u do . just find me i'll tell you how to get the dependency out ..
and your map back on track maybe .. :D

in your galaxy map document :
you save your doc
and go on the top screen ribbon (all the way to the left) and select:
file/dependencies

this will open a window allowing you to add the different dependencies file for units/textures etc

simply add the dependency you want (all of them for instance)

use lotv mod flle and
Wol hots and lotv campaign
wrcrft3 stuff
Nova stuff

you then close this new window and then you save
your map

you will then have all the units available!?

(also when you create a document you can select Lotv (instead of the wol dependency you took) and even add the others ..
that's if you do it when you create a map, if not.. then my earlier typing applies ...

Hi!

I haven't made a map in years.

If I only own WoL and HotS can I make a LotV map?

Thanks!
