Not sure if I am being stupid, but I search "The Sandbox" on EU, and I just can't find it. Instead blizzard lists about 30 maps with nothing to do with the word sandbox.

Just started using this today quite fun and good actually. Though that stalker vs marine challenge gives you next to no room to kite so you need to take turns and the marines cut ya off sometimes.

Also, the pheonix challenge without anion crystals is near impossible unless you get the ai stuck in a pattern

Hmmm, the phoenix challenge should be with anion crystals, you dont have this upgrade loaded?

Has this been uploaded to SEA?

:'(
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

I guess no, but if you know how, you can upload it on SEA. Download it on SC2Mapster.com.

Wow, this is really awesome. Thanks a ton for making this <333
There are a few things I'd love to be added though.

To overwrite a save I have, I seem to need to enable autosave and then save over it. A way to overwrite a save in one click would be appreciated :D
Multiple saves in one game would be helpful for switching between different micro battles quickly (for example if my friend and I want to practice marine tank pushes, being able to switch between large armies and small armies back and forth would be cool.)
Control groups being saved as well would be a nice addition too but not really needed much.

Again, thanks for making this :D

@Wherewolf

The thing is, I try to avoid additional buttons to keep the interface slim. But I am not happy with the save-button/autosave solution too. Right now you have to double click it to overwrite a save.

If you need multiple saves, you could save your states as challenges. You can save endless configurations like that, even for the next days or weeks.

Control groups save would be really nice, I put it on my ToDo list, thanks!

Did you try to "create game" or are you using the join game list? Cuz that happened to me when i tried to create, but you have to just search it in the join games list. Hope this helps
Also, really great map !

This is exactly what I need! I was discussing with a friend how we could use a unit tester as part of our practice schedule to improve our micro and army control, but I couldn't find anything that replicated real in-game situations. Although, I could just hop on to NA whenever I want to play this, do you mind if I upload it to SEA?

Edit: It appears to have already been uploaded on SEA under the name "The Sandbox_v0.17 v1.0" by youngmo. Since the uploader hasn't notified you of this, it may have been modified in some way but I can't confirm that.

@Akinokaze

Sure, I would be glad if you upload it on SEA. Just tell me the name and your ingame nick, so I can put it in my list.

Uploaded to SEA under the name "The Sandbox (SEA)", my ign is also Akinokaze

I think a sub-menu (or something similar) for each race on the random army button would be a really nice addition. Someone who plays Protoss as their main race for example probably isn't going to be interested in getting Zerg or Terran units.

So, thank you all for improving this map. Now I hope for patch 1.5 to get some popularity on it.

As you wish, here is another video. This time I investigated attack upgrades vs armor upgrades. What is better?

[image loading]


And here are my conclusions:
1. Use armor upgrades against many small units like lings and marines
2. Use attack upgrades with many small units like lings and marines
3. For zealots vs lings, use attack upgrade for the zealots
4. Also for roaches vs lings, use attack upgrade for the roaches

Might want to reword this as it currently suggests that you should always get attack upgrades for Zealots except when you vs lings.
