Because it makes it much, much more tedious for an amateur map-maker to create a symmetrical map. You won't be a premium map just because your map is symmetrical... | ||

I can't seem to find any bridges other than Mar Sara (Long) and it doesn't have a walk-way on it? Has anyone found out where to get bridges for placement? So far I'm liking some of the new features over WC3's editor, I have not looked into triggering yet. I think the closest you can get is using the road editor | ||

Those maps won't be downloadable until the b.net servers are back up, so even if anyone figured out how to open them in the editor... (Please ignore me if the servers are up now) | ||

Looking forward to seeing someone make an exact replica of BGH. With more geysers of course. Tried to use the legacy converter to make it but all it came back with was mineral / gas locations lol oh well. Rest of the map was all black =/ | ||

Are you familiar with the bw scene in the slightest? First of all, there have been many, many high quality maps made by amateurs. Secondly, "mostly symmetrical" is generally not good enough for high level play. Positional imbalances are easily created by slight terrain differences. Maybe my statement was a bit of a premature attack, but I am baffled as to the possible motive behind intentionally retarding the UI and functionality of the editor. Mirror x/y is a pretty basic function which makes functional melee maps easy for the layman to create. | ||

Btw, you can just place a nexus/cc/hatchery from the unit palette. It doesn't let you place it if minerals/gas are too close, that's what I've been doing to make sure the distances work. | ||

It does how ever attack if attacked, and run away. Set the mode to Melee and the workers should start mining. Although, it didn't seem to create any workers, since it had a script loading error. As for triggers, it seems an event is required for it to be executed, but I might be mistaken. Anyhow, my Action wouldn't trigger unless I stated an event... | ||
