there are some weird blue vertical lines whenever an observer is firing, it's a bit confusing. Understandable for alpha tho =)
very fun map!

Simple, but great idea.


I'd be interested in seeing other maps that put emphesis on training various SC2 mechanics that can translate to ladder play as well!

awesome map kevin

i've still hope that one day some genius will figure out how to keep stacked mutas from spreading out using the galaxy editor. then maybe blizzard will patch it in 1 or 2 years later!

Suggestion: make it so that the terrain changes after death or something.. so you'll be able to spot cloaked units better in every map =)

Any specific units / concepts people think would be interesting for the next build?

I was considering having the difficulty ramp up as the game went on and also giving the ghost some abilities such as blink or psionic storm.

Drewbie suggested that I should make some kind of objective. IE go to X location and kill the 'boss' and then return while cloaked units are attacking the whole time.

Awesome, micro maps ftw :D

Having difference sections of the map being other common terrain would be cool for practice.

fitting the ghost theme, you could say, goto location and nuke a target (hopefully you can reduce nuke placing time).

also, i would suggest making emp not unlimited and/or having a small cooldown so you can't just spam emp..you have to be somewhat accurate

you probably want to make emp cost just like 1 or 2 energy or something. its very easy to just spam emp at the moment. got like 179 on my first try without a sweat by doing that.

edit: oh also, obviously hide in a corner so that you only have to emp 1/4th the area.

Very nice man, very nice. It's difficult and everything. One thing though, I noticed that when I EMP the EMP doesn't really go where I click but like 3 pixels to the right, and that happens in your video as well, any idea why it does that?

This thing is GREAT! I can't wait to see what other kinds of skill-building maps we get. Grats on being one of the first!

If you wanted to make the map more of a game, than raw training, I have some suggestions.

You could make it so that killing a unit restores some % or all of the EMP mana cost to the ghost, thus rewarding accuracy. Maybe you could disable the ghost's regeneration completely or nearly completely, and have a stage system where the ghost's mana is completely restored at the beginning of a stage, but the waves of enemies coming get increasingly more difficult to deal with. The last levels would require 100% accuracy with EMP to kill them all + have enough mana to EMP them all. Maybe you could also have one type of cloaked enemy not attack you, but try to evade you (disappearing after a short time, maybe?) and killing it would restore some health to the ghost. Maybe the life-restoring unit could be paired with other attacking units, thus forcing the player to make a decision about what units he wants to kill first/how to spend his mana.

What about something like Missile Command? Use the Ghost's EMP to destroy numerous AI as they come down. Much like the game, the EMP is AOE and can take out numerous units at one time. Although, slow firing means you'll have to aim it just right to take out as many as possible, otherwise you may miss one! Maybe have some units behind the Ghost that if the AI gets down there and touches it, dies.

Give you practice at taking a quick situation and learning the best location to EMP in a short amount of time, or just getting used to EMP in general.
