So I have been looking trough the custom game threads for quite some time, looking for new good ones and seeing what old customs from frozen / bw that people want to have as a Starcraft 2 map.
It seems to me that the one that most people want is Enfos from frozen throne. I have myself been looking for this map since the release of Starcraft 2, but have only found two, and theese were utter crap, bugged, and broken overall.
I was actually thinking about making one myself because I don't want to wait longer. Problem being that I have never made a map before, so then I need to learn the map editor, and do it in that little spare time I have when I am not working.
I also read on the MT forums (the forums for the best Enfos map that existed for frozen throne), and the creator of that said they had no intentions of doing a Starcraft 2 version.
So my question is, does anyone know if there is a decent Enfos out there, or maybe if there is one on the way?
If not, all we Enfos fans should just post and beg until someone that is good at the map editor makes it  .

aTak, maybe explain what enfos exactly is, maybe there are some versions you dont know about.

2 teams. Each player gets one hero that they may upgrade in a DotA fashion. In addition to a hero, you get a "spellcaster" building that can cast beneficial spells for your team or harmful spells on the enemy team.
Mobs spawn at the top in levels. Each level has harder mob spawns. Mobs run to your base (the 5 yellow houses). If they get there, you lose a life. First team to lose all their lives loses.

Ah yeah, sorry about that. Nice description by Eiviyn, that's what it is. There is still bots hosting it (MT edition) on both Europe and NA frozen servers, so if you haven't tried it I suggest you do it, great map.
Far better/more fun to play than Dota in my opinion. Actually think I played it more than the regular game hehe. Takes some time to get into though, and can be hard to play with people that haven't played before, because team work is essential to really enjoy it completely.

Never heard of this before but I checked sc2mapster very quick and there are apparently a few ppl looking to do something like it. Although one of those ppl confused it with a similar UMS and it seems like the rest can't do it alone^^
Well you should definitly learn the editor and start working on it 
|
Yeah, ill give it some time to see if there is not already someone that knows what they are doing that have started working on it. However, I opened up the editor yesterday evening and checked some video tutorials, made some heroes. Just in case 
|
Enfos was so much fun back on wc3, it would be pretty sweet if we could get one for sc2. Hopefully someone with mapmaking skills gets on it!
|
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.
I just hope it won't be a 1-for-1 remake like the SC2 Legion TD is.
SC2 has already been out for a year though, so any versions of Enfo's would be quite late to the show.
|
The most important part for me is that it is fairly balanced. Have played way to many unbalanced Enfo's with imba heroes. The balancing was what made the MT teams version so great.
|
OH my god I had completely forgotten about this UMS, it was the greatest UMS in TFT!
I don't know the mapmaker so don't know how I can help though...

i'd loved to have 'defend the lich king' back
|
Enfo's was by far my favorite WC3 map. It's a shame the Enfo's guys aren't planning to switch to SC2.
|
I liked it; was a fun map. however I personally would prefer to see a new Battleships Pro more!
|
If someone told me there wouldn't be an Enfo's or even Vampirism a year after SC2's release, I wouldn't have believed them.
I know it's a lot of work, but someone has to do it. This is important.

I'm a regular at mapster and I don't think anyone is working on an Enfos style map right now. I think you're safe to start one.

This is one of the most played if not THE most played map besides DoTA on WC3. I can't see who no one has made it yet... If you decide to make it I could help you test it out I'm great at thinking of ideas/criticism but I suck at making stuff my self

No, Hero Line Wars was where each team would spend the gold they get on sending creeps to the enemy, enfos is pre-set what monsters are sending and you can not send monsters to the other team.

I just might take you up on that offer. But as I said, I have never done a map before. I do however work as a programmer, so after looking trough the editor, I think that might help a bit, atelast when it comes to triggers and conditions.
But I hope that someone really good makes it though, because I don't want to make a half-bad version of what I consider being the best custom game out there =/.
