i have an unopened copy of starcraft 2 behind me. (i bought it twice since my copy got lost in the mail for a week) im considering using it to make an EU account and publishing directly this would open up a few more options for me... i would be able to make my map a mod. i would also be able to make another mod purely for the music and then simply publish maps that have my mod as a dependancy.
the entire reason i've been avoiding making my map into a mod is because mods just like maps aren't published globally. only the publisher of the mod is able to access it and use it as a dependancy. it's also just damn troublesome to keep updated for eu relying on other people to publish both the mods and the maps.
don't give up hope! blizz promised interregion play sometime soon!
english soon=sometime in the near future
blizzard soon=next expansion or never.
but thats not the point, sell your copy for the same price to someone else then buy an unopened copy from some european fellow. or go to EU and buy one yourself order a EU one online.

we'll see tonight anyway when i give it a go.
You actually can access mods that you haven't published to make your map dependent on it.
Problem is there's a bug that causes desyncs for maps that use custom mods as dependency.
I though it depends on the Bnet account you associate it with... so if you create an EU account, insert the code and download the EU client, it would not work? but again I never really looked into it

Also offering to publish and keep the map updated
Annoyingly, I don't think that works; I've got a trial US account in my battle net account, but it's quite separate from the EU account, and would only let me update my map for 2 weeks! Hopefully they'll sort out cross-region publishing with any map editor updates, as it's genuinely a pain.
(also, I made the mistake of calling my map and mod the same name, and given Bnet doesn't differentiate between .sc2map and .sc2mod, they overwrote each other! Took me a good few minutes to work out why the dependency was screwing up.)
BTW I noticed that the Valkire requirements says "attached tech lab". Also, I had it attack my own units but it didn't do any damage. I don't rembmeber if it only attacked air in BW, but it does, just like a viking in air mode.
Also, If you havn't allready, you shoudl make an AI so you can play against comp.

there is an AI. I have got no friends on bnet so thats what I had to use. Life sucks. It's absolutely terrible on very easy. yet to try the other levels. I really just wanted to get the entire tech tree.
also maverk, if you use the bottom part of the queen w/out the torso, legs or neck or head or tail, well, that might be a good queen with some tweaking.
also..... HAHAHAHAHAH yes blizz will definitely release a collage of units in HotS and make us ll look bad. lololololololololol................ Maybe if he's luck-e mavercK will have the dragoon or something else taken and used by blizz, as long as they give credit I would be cool with that in his shoes.
For the Scan on terran, are you going to change the animation to small blue sparkles that last for 2 seconds instead of a giant light over their screen for 10+ seconds?
