definitely fun i played my first 2 games today.. the map started a nuke when i had perfectly timed builds like a 1raxx expand with 1 supply depot or i remember i had my 27supply supply depot (to raise me to 35) where i got to 27/27 supply before the depot finished (well timed) and it yelled at me =(

edit: also walled with my supply depots in TvP it's a completely valid strat and when they got destroyed i couldnt spend my money fast enough -___-

I updated the Tal'Darim Altar map tonight to support 2v2 and 4 player FFA. Well at least I think I did. If you guys could let me know if it's working now that would be awesome.

Thank You.

I see what's wrong. If you use "Join Game" then it will lock the settings to the default game variant. I didn't know this. I tried to fix this, but it's really late. I don't have time to do correctly, and make sure I don't break anything else. The mod isn't handling teams correctly period. For now, I would suggest using Create Game when playing so that you can change the settings from 2v2 to 1v1.

Ah, Thank you for the feed back I will do that from now on.

Looks really good and exactly the tool I need to improve my play

The OP only mention it being available on NA, any plan for EU (and/or other servers) release ?

This is awesome I was away over the weekend and didn't get to see. Thanks for letting me know. And if you're reading thank you to DJ Wheat and Chill for putting the map on the show.

First of all this thing is awesome.

About the muta thing, tons of people save up for 6-10 muta. I feel like 6-9 is most common. It happens all the time on streams against t and p. Idra loves muta zvt. I can't recall a game where he's trickled them out 3 at a time. ostojiy (lesser known gm) goes muta against p sometimes. It's very normal to want to try to get 8-9 muta out at once.

<edit> On second thought it's good for my multitasking to make myself trick the ai by making a hatch or whatever until the spire pops because any good human player is going to be harassing and trying to do damage before the spire is done a lot of the time.

WOW! Great game TheRabidDeer! Constant chrono + forcefields has me shaking in my boots now. That was domination without any Colossi. I'm putting in the OP now.

NiTro if you are still following this, it would be nice to see you two play a TvP.

sure we can work something out. PM with info and we can play the gamez :D

Do you have any idea when this is going to be playable on EU?

Yay! 2v2 is working. There's a bug at the end I have to work out to prevent that warning from popping up, but here's proof.

2 Zergs vs 2 Protoss

Please don't judge me. I was testing =p, but it was a lot of fun. Tal'Darim Altar is such a versatile map.

@legek, I'm shooting to get one map up on EU at the end of the week. Right now, we're having an issue where we can publish one of the dependencies but can't test it on EU editor. If anyone has experience with this, please PM.

@Doc - Aye, i totally feel ya, it's rude to push for more.. I would just wish that Wheat wouldn't have hyped it yet, as Major is missing out on a lot of attention from outside the NA server..

Dude I had no idea EU didn't have it when I was hyping it... but I can't help talking about things that I think are really f'in badass!

star2 eu/un etc addicts should realize that crossrealm publishing is way more complex than just simple copy pasting.

blizz needs to be lobbied about this on their forums, every map with locales/triggers and even data changes are concerned.

Well, mapmakers not admitting these editor shortcomings/complexity doesn't help either

I have 2 suggestions - 1 a toggleable apm display, especially if this is a map to help us overall, it would be nice to be able to see my apm in the corner or under the objectives or something.
2 - a way to quickly restart the map over again without having to start a new round.

Also, how do I enable the green tea ai? I thought this came with green tea?

Also huge thanks to djWheat for announcing this on his show (even though he and his 4s team wrecked my team the other day, haha).

I updated the Maps again.

Version 1.4

Promotion Check Timer now starts when you gain control of your units instead of when you load into the map.
Promotion Check Timer is based off of your level. The higher level you are the longer you will need to maintain all three objectives before it checks to see if it should promote you.
Maps support Team Games and FFA games now. Game will end when all members of other team have 'gg'd. It should support teams of any size.
Invisible Computer Allies/Opponents have been removed when you use 'Join Game' to start a map with more than 2 starting positions.
NEW MAP: Araken Citadel [Macro Or Die] has been added for 3v3 practice.
Ready button will show who you are waiting for if everyone hasn't pressed it yet.
A lot of code cleanup in preparation for porting and localizing.

Known Bugs

~~If players drop from lobby before game,there's a chance the Adjutant will fail to load and everyone will be stuck at instruction screen.~~
When the loser GGs the winner is not automatically being given their points and brought to the score screen. The Winner has to type GG in order to stop the game and get their win. Will fix it back tonight.
~~A warning pops up when users press 'GG'. This is harmless (I hope), but I'll get rid of it tomorrow.~~
~~Players were getting penalized for supply blocking themselves with 9 pylon~~
Sometimes the macro level does not show next to the avg cushion on score screen. (still trying to debug this)
~~Other players score is not showing up at all when you start a 2v2 variant match with only 1 player on each team.~~
