The Beginning is a real time strategy god-game mod for SC2. It is based largely off of Populous: The Beginning, but integrates concepts from Starcraft. The map is currently in early beta testing with changes likely coming in the near future.

The Beginning places players in control of a Shaman, who can utilize 10 spells to gain an advantage over her opponents. Using spells wisely and picking the right spells to charge are the keys to victory.

The Shaman will respawn after 30 seconds if killed. The object of the game is to kill all the enemy's units (structures are not counted) and kill the enemy Shaman. If you kill an enemy Shaman, you will gain a mana charge boost proportional to the charge rate of the enemy.

How To Play
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]

Braves can build Longhouses, which provide supply and train new Braves. Up to 5 Braves can help with construction of any building.

[image loading]

Use Convert to capture wild Braves across the map.

[image loading]

Sending a Brave into a Warrior Hut will turn that Brave into a Warrior.

[image loading]

Each Brave inside of a Longhouse acts as a chrono boost for that Longhouse. In addition, Braves inside of Longhouses generate additional Mana to charge your Shaman's spells.


Spells

+ Show Spoiler +

Click on a spell to begin charging it. When charging completes, your Shaman is granted one use of the spell. Click it again to stop charging it. Mana is represented by your Vespene gas and is divided amongst all charging spells.

(R) -Firebolt- 100 mana : Launch a blast of fire, dealing damage and knocking enemies into the air.

(C) -Convert- 100 mana : Cast on groups of neutral Braves to gain control of them.

(W) -Swarm- 400 mana : A swarm of insects causes enemies to flee.

(T) -Ball Lightning- 800 mana : A powerful and long range lightning strike deals heavy damage.

(G) -Swamp- 1,000 mana : A swamp that damages any unit that enters it.

(X) -Tornado- 900 mana : A vortex that sends enemies flying and and destroys structures.

(F) -Firestorm- 4,000 mana : A hailstorm of fire.

It is Protoss only, although all the units are unique from melee. Victory condition is kill all enemy units.

For now this map supports 2-6 players, I plan on also having a 4 spawn map for 1v1 and 2v2.
