CustomCraft is an Extension Mod for Starcraft 2 that allows players to customize their race's unit loadout, macro mechanic, and defensive abilities. Players can in essence, customize the tech tree as they desire. Currently the mod features 8 custom unit choices, 2 new alternative macro abilities per race, and 2 new alternative defensive abilities per race.
With CustomCraft there are hundreds of possible combinations of units and abilities. This mod is created with the aim of creating exponentially more diverse games than standard melee play.
At the start of a match, players are given the option to customize their unit loadout, as well as pick from some different macro mechanics and defensive abilites. For example, a Zerg player might choose to give her Queens the Chrono Boost ability instead of Inject Larva, and choose to be able to train Lurkers at the expense of being unable to build Swarmhosts.
The mod features mostly units from Brood War with a few from the campaigns. The mod could easily be expanded to include further units but in the meantime it needs balance testing.
You can currently play against the A.I. however they will currently not change their unit picks from the default. I may add the option the option to pick the A.I.'s loadout or randomize it at a later time.
