As Ragoo said ProdiG could probally tell you about what too many doodads is or you can read this thread to get an idea of it. | ||

Well if it is going to be laggy, atleast it will force people to look at it, with the lack of unitcontrol and all ^^Making the map more for personal practise , and cus I really want to put this idea I have in a map for once Id say the map is playwise about 20% done now... what have i gotten myself in to  edit: quick teaser to give you an idea what its for, this is one of the areas with alot of doodads.

For maps like xelnaga caverns and metapolilis they have a general fog bottem. How do they create this. I've opened them up and can't seems to find anything specific. They're not just putting a bunch of fog doodads all around ( i checked) and that would be ridiculous. I don't believe it comes naturally with the textures set and all or is a setup like water- so how? The second is with the deep storm fog doodad. Can someone explain this specific fog one as the others work fine but i can't seem to see it (or im missing the effect). Does this do the whole map fog effect like above, is it like a weather doodad, or what? | ||

through the data separate (extra window) you can change the whole "ambience" / mold of lighting of your map cheat cheats:+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.cacaouete.net/tl/016foganddoodads.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.cacaouete.net/tl/017lights.jpg) | ||

Does this do the whole map fog effect like above, is it like a weather doodad, or what? Regarding the fog, you can customize a map's fog settings by going to Map > Map Textures > Modify. Here are the exact fog settings for Xel'Naga Caverns: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/mz0CB.jpg) The F key turns fog on and off in the editor, which may be why you couldn't see it. Now as for fog doodads, etc - first off, most weather doodads and some birds and other things show up as a small icon (weather cloud, etc) you can toggle this on and off by using the V key (game view). If you still can't see it, look around a bit, some of the weather doodads effects appear a small distance away from where you actually placed it (this relates to the direction the arrow is pointing too). Some doodads are just borked and don't work, so that may also be the problem. If you can see all the other fog and weather effects but just not deep storm, then I wouldn't be too concerned, you're probably not missing out on much. | ||

If zerg units are cheaper, why they need more money? I know they are no cost effective but if they are really cheeper than terran/protoss units, then they should not need more money and thus not more bases. They need larva, i know that, but why they just dont build them inside existing base? | ||
