thanx so much will try asap


thanx again, 1st game was amazing. i set a medium AI, but to my suprise, this bot was too good for me to handle... is there something wrong with AI or is it set at a certain macro-play difficulty( eg very hard but wont attack for 10 minutes or something)

Please fix the pop up noise notifications that happen every 5 seconds at the start of the game. I was playing this map for a few hours and they get so annoying after awhile. would be awesome if you added a countdown after both players pressed ready!

It can cheese or be aggressive as well, but most of the strategies are aimed for long macro games. Also the medium AI maphacks, so if it thinks you have enough army to defend, it won't attack you.

In a custom melee vs AI, game is always linear, eg zerg will build roach hdyra vs T I think despite of difficulty, but it doesnt get any serious till very hard. So, is the AI in this mod tweaked by Major? I mean I set opponent to medium, yet at the end of the game, he had a 3rd faster than me, his macro points were much better than me, he was at masters level 8 cushion I think but I was only diamond x12, which is fair cause thats my skill lvl atm, but I m pretty sure I could easily beat medium AI opponents in customs before! Here he had the perfect composition and good engagements(seemed like he mapahcked like u said )

The maps are using Grean Tea AI which why you see the difference from normal games.

I saw this earlier in the thread so assume that is how it maps to difficulty


Nevermind...just read this:

+ Very Easy : It is vanilla very hard Ai
+ Easy : GT( normal vision like player)
+ Medium : GT ( full vision )
+ Hard : Same harvest rate at the player at the beginning, then slowly increase from 1 to 1.5 times in 10 minutes.
+ Very Hard : Same harvest rate at the player at the beginning, then rapidly increase from 1 to 2.0 times in 10 minutes.
+ Insane : The get double resources at the begining. Only use 1 strategy for each races but using all the units in the game.

Thanks for releasing this on EU, i can't wait to try it out. Usually my macro is slipping after the first 2base push, so i hope this will be helpful.
the game is the game

Awesome Major!

I tried it out yesterday, and did it a few times to day aswell, and I gotta say, I'm really impressed.

Specially when the map rates my macro as higher than im currently ranked, hehe

Anyways, thanks alot for this, will report if I find any issues, but haven't seen anything other than the one that requires reboot of map. Tal Darim has worked every time for me though.

How hard would it be to set up building checks/unit benchmarks to practice build execution totally. Like, "It's 9:30, where's your spire?" kind of things? It'd be kind of screwy against a human opponent, but against the Very Easy computer, to practice the build execution until you had it down, it'd be pretty cool.

This is by far the best "training map" I've seen. I'm actually having games far more entertaining than most matches on the ladder ( I'm in plat. )

Really looking forward to trying this out. However.. i have a problem downloading the two maps uploaded to EU servers. For some reason the download freezes for those two particular maps at around 90-ish. Any help?

I've played this map over and over again and showed it to some bronze friends of mine and they have greatly improved because of this map. It gave them a new outlook on the game. They are discovering the power of macro management!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this map!

Please continue making more improvements and releasing new macro or die maps to play on.

I very much appreciate these maps as I enjoy practicing my macro. I like how this map forces you to macro good with only 2 spots for the production limit. That's one of my favorite features of the map. It prevents you from fake-macroing by having 3 marauders on que for example.

Keep it up!

Holy shit, I might have been a bit complacent, but I got _rolled_ by Medium AI in the first game. :D

Hi TL, I finally made the jump to the registration page to report a small problem i got on these maps

As soon as I've seen they had been uploaded on EU I've tried to play one of them but it looks like the localization still has some problem, or at least with my language (French).

[image loading]

I got the same problem with the other map ofc.

I don't know if there is an easy workaround for me, it's not "that" annoying except I just can't read anything like the rank, the objective or whatever... :D I just hear the alarm sound and have to guess what's wrong... (not that hard anyway, look those stacking minerals...)

Also on another point, the very easy AI just lost the game without gg'ing and then I've been directly thrown at the "Victory" screen without any custom stats (that i couldn't have read but that's not my point here)

Still, keep up with the good work and thanks for a mod who looks awesome

This is a very useful practice tool, though also quite humbling. I often lose to the medium ai, that only seems to get more difficult as the game progresses. When I give up the 'gg' I'm either silver or gold while the AI is master or grand master. Pretty severe for a 'medium' ai.

Guess I should try easy ai and see how that goes.

I'm the benevolent dictator you've been looking for.

Thanks for reporting this Razhil. I don't have an EU client so I can't test this myself. Do any EU map makers know what I can do to fix this?
