Three questions: Are there going to be more play modes? How long does it go? And can we shorten the games? I've played several times, but I've never actually finished a game. People tend to leave prematurely when they realize there is no way they are going to catch up. Personally, I like the idea of a "first to 5" victory condition or something to that effect. | ||

Sorry for no updates on this in a while- it's my fault for being busy/lazy, but this is definitely the impetus we need to get it done. Look for help to gather a crew on SC2mapster.com, this is what the community is for: Improving the maps that actually are good and get played. Or contact me for a starter  | ||

 The custom map system is just bringing 'terrible' to a whole new level. I checked and I had to press "more" 15 times before I found Raynor Party. People are basically never going to find out about this map on EU no matter how awesome it is. The only way would be to get the word out somehow so that the map rises in popularity (I doubt anyone checks beyond the first 2 pages). | ||

Hey I'm originally from South Africa! It warms my heart to know it's being played down there. Also, I believe the host is able to choose between Tournament Mode / Free Play when creating the game- in Tournament Mode it plays the games and the first person to 5 points wins, while in Free Play a person is randomly selected and they choose the next game. We're looking into changing the scoring system to allow special bonuses, for example getting 10 points for winning En Taro Kaboom but getting 1 point per kill and maybe 3 for a double kill? More games are coming and let me tell you they will be awesome, as well as Raynor's Rangers being redesigned to be more fun. Yeehaw! Edit: oh the song on the video is called Madness in G Minor by Hermitude. That info is also in the video's description. | ||

I probably have a way to fix this for 1.1 but I don't know what it'll do to the popularity | ||

I like the idea of alternative scoring system, but I'd say focus on the new games for a start. | ||

I will get a pic up as soon as i get to play again. Doesn't really matter, since you'll be a sitting duck for people wanting to pop you out of your hiding place (using forcefields). | ||

However, I think you really have to add more games now, soon. People might otherwise get bored of an awesome game concept. I like the idea of alternative scoring system, but I'd say focus on the new games for a start. I think you have to thank HD for that , he made a video about the map on his channel ,that's why its popularity raised in europe. | ||

the quality is very high, i think its near what i m expecting from blizzard custom maps! minigames are a lot of fun, i've just played 1 h, and so far the only suggestion is to add to the zealot minigame math expressions so far i love all minigames, i have 2 that i love less zealot) i would love more if u can add math expression and maybe vary something marine) dont know why, have to test it more. this will be featured soon, i'm pretty sure | ||
