This improves game quality as more compositions become viable. Except that "specific tricks" = Random units = Random tricks = Doesn't matter which map Megaton tho is harder to cheese at, its good, but overall its not a very fun map, if one defense fail it all fails.

No ranking, no list, nothing, its just regular monobattle, that's it Blizzard didn't make monobattle, private persons made it. Besides, no use to add a ranking in monobattle, it's 75% luck, so wouldn't make sense. Level on the other hand, well, sure but how and why? | ||

The ranks are based on only two non-competitive measures: how many games you've won and how many games you've lost. No ladder system. If you want to spoil it for yourself, here's a list in order from least to most illustrious. Warning: they are silly and for amusement. + Show Spoiler [Ranks] + Prefixed rank adjectives (based on win/loss ratio):
Rank (based on total wins) <and, for fun, their Star Trek/misc pop culture paragons>:
The comparative average is based on the success with your unit of everyone else in the game you are currently in. Achievements can be viewed by clicking the button in the upper left. They can also be turned off in the same way. The button fades out when not in focus. | ||

Let me know if Sky Harvester is unplayable. I believe Grubby referred to it as challenging, but it will certainly be different from the usual monobattle maps in the name of variety. I'm just going to declare a predetermined order so I don't make the same mistake again (subject to change):

I apologize for that, I haven't been checking that the script has been working lately. When I get a chance I will manually change it. AM also has this problem. Maps haven't changed since hots launch, even though the map says it's gonna change weekly. | ||

So that one player is assigned tier one at the start, two players get tier two, one gets tier three. Losing a game because you don't want to cannon rush and you can't fight tempests or broodlords is frustrating beyond words. It's been requested before and the answers have been to add alternative modes that preclude random strokes of bad luck. The main issue is that people love to play random, but dislike random bad luck when it happens to them. These folks don't truly (in their heart of hearts) want to play random mode. They want to play something we'll call puzzle solver mode; a mode in which the game puts throws a couple of dice initially, but then starts to solve the rest of the puzzle so that the end result is a picture of fairness (at least on their end). My first issue with masquerading puzzle solver mode as random mode is that it would be a lie. The tin says random, the beans should be random. The last few people to click "GO" would be expecting a fair, completely (pseudo)randomly picked unit when in reality their pick was preordained by the computer based on what the first few people picked. My second issue (and this is the one that has stumped me in terms of creating a new mode for this selection type) is what's fair? 4 Marines vs 4 Hellions. Is that fair? They can both shoot each other. They can both destroy buildings. Perhaps the only truly fair algorithm is to mirror the picks. And that brings me to my third and final issue... Mirror draft exists. So do random and tier draft. They're not Blind Random, but neither is puzzle solver mode. If completely randomly picked units aren't what you want, you should try these other modes. They are much more fair. If none of these modes fulfill exactly what you're looking for, the best way to get me to create what you've envisioned within your mind is to explain it to me in detail. It might be a great idea. It might be a greater idea than any of the other modes yet. | ||

If that's really not workable for you, let me know. Maintaining the maps on a third server is a good work load increase and I haven't been told that it's necessary yet.

That being said, I think Toxic Slums and/or Sand Canyon (original) could easily go. I've asked Semmo for permission to use Crux Breeze specifically. | ||
