Hey guys =) Ive seen a lot of topics asking for the best Build Order Testers or ways to improve your game while Beta is down so I thought I would make a collective post (my first) on different ways to improve your game. I will try to keep this thread as updated as possible.

Build Order Testers

Qxc's Build Order Tester
      This is the Build Order Tester created by Qxc, Day [9] showed it off on his Daily on Improving Timing. Its the one I have the most experience with however Qxc has stoped working on this Build Order Tester Lucky tho it has been picked up by other Map Makers. Its a little outdated but still a very good (basic) Build Order Tester.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=126942

Isbunk Build Order Tester
      Isbunk picked up Qxc's Build Order Tester and added a lot of sweet new features, this Build Order Tester also allows you to try out your builds on actual maps and even records your past builds time, minerals, supply, etc. Its a improvement to an already great Build Order Tester.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=127833

Skeldark/Jeeks Build Order Tester (BOTV2)
      I haven't had a chance to personally try out this Build Order Tester but just like Isbunk's Build Order Tester this is an improvement to Qxc's. This one allows for many of the same features as Isbunk's however they are working on timing attacks to implement and if I am not mistaken have already added some zerg time attacks to test your build against. This Build Order Tester also sports a viewable history and a list of your Build Order. Some pretty cool stuff.

On June 09 2010 22:22 skeldark wrote:
Nice list!
qxc make this cewl idea and isbunk improved it but both dont work on it anymore.
We take isbunks version and rewrite it.

so the diffrence between our and yabot:
YABOT
they focus more on atacks and train build orders of other people with a freerun option
BOTV2
we focus more on make your own buildorder so we show many stats and make it run on ANY map
but our atack funktion is nothing against yabot i think i will not improve it or take it out because why make something whats allready there.
so i focus more on stats and remind funktions and savepoint system later

btw if you are a mapeditor and wanna help pm me.



http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=129040

Yet Another Build Order Tester (YABOT)
      This is a pretty cool Build Order Tester, you pick your race and your build order at the start of the map. Youll then be given a list of what to build at which supply and the computer will send 3 waves of attacks at you. After 7 minutes the game ends and your given a score based on your performance. You can choose to create your own Build Order and even choose which Build Order the Computer will preform. Its a really fun tool to play with that I suggest everyone tryout.

1)The comment you added from skeldark is not entirely accurate. We actually show the same stats as his and we are highly geared toward custom build orders, especially with our new online tool: www.xorpwnz.com/YABOT Using this tool people can easily design build orders, and then play them in the map

2) Also YABOT has been mentioned on the Day[9] dailies twice now (once on 6/9 and once on 6/10), so would it be possible to add something about it also being mentioned by Day[9]?

Other Helpful Custom Maps

Stet_Tcl's Multitask Trainer
      This is a awesome tool to greatly improve your Multitasking ability. You must defeat a Terran base while you control a probe that is constantly being chased by a zergling as you defend against drops and timing pushes oh and you have to rescue some dude to. You must do all of this without reaching a predetermined resource cap, without your probe dieing a certain amount of times, and before time expires. Lucky there are multiple difficulty settings. This is a lot of fun and should keep everyone busy for awhile =P

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=124983

XGDragon's Unit Tester
      I cant believe I forgot this map in the original list I use this map all the time. Using XGDragon's unit tester you can create any combination of units and make the battle against each other 6 zergling vs 4 marines 2 Hydralisk vs 3 marines with stem whatever you want I used this map ALOT when I was working on my Baneling bust build to figure out exactly how many Banelings it took to kill a Supply Depot this is a great map with an even better interface you can learn a lot and even take bets with your friends on which comp is going to win

http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/unit-tester/

Riley's Micro Olympics
      This is a pretty cool map with four Micro challenges which you earn medals based on how well you perform. The challenges are Stalker Skirmish you control 8 Stalkers vs 13 Roaches, Baneling Breakout 4 Marines must survive waves of Banelings, Force Field Frenzy you control 1 Colossus and a handful on sentries to try and fend off waves of Hydralisk, and Sniper School 3 ghost's are tasked with picking of important protoss units as they run by.

Qxc's So You Think You Can Micro
      A cool looking map made by Qxc I haven't messed around with it but a Qxc Map cant be bad =P This map is made to work on Terran Micro but the skills youll learn can obviously be applied to any race. Some of the challenges youll face are Banshee vs. marine, Hellion vs. speedling, marauder vs. roach, marauder vs. hydra, marauder vs. early protoss units, marine/marauder vs. baneling, reaper vs. early tier, and practice tank range by using a viking to spot. Another awesome map by Qxc I suggest all Terran players give this map a try.

This is just some of the maps I have been using over the last few weeks, like I said above I will keep this post up to date with any helpful new maps I come across also if anyone knows any maps that weren't listed please feel free to add them to the comments section bellow. Thanks for your time everyone, Enjoy!


AI Maps (Computer Controlled Opponents)

Behemoth AI
      This is a very interesting AI map that is trying to play at the Diamond level. However this is a VERY early Alpha version of the map it is still pretty good. Currently it seems to be just Protoss vs Zerg with you playing as the Zerg player. The AI does the same build every game but besides a few annoying bugs like the Computers Phoenixs not attacking Mutas and the computer knowing where your at. This map is decently difficult youll probaly win the majority or your games but its still good training for in game practice.

http://www.sc2mapster.com/assets/behemoth-ai/

Mimic AI
[Thanks:Spyridon]
      A pretty cool map that takes a different approach on the whole AI thing. Basically on you first play of the map the computer does nothing you build up normally with your selected race and once you defeat the computer the AI will remember your build and save it in its memory. Mimic can save up to 30 builds and you can choose the build you want to play against. This is a great map for people that are a little more experienced and are having trouble with builds they can perform a quick example would be Terran Mech vs Zerg you can pick Terran do a basic Mech buid then work on defeating it as Zerg or for people that have roommates/friends and want to play against there builds. I really like this map and think it has a lot potential especially once your able to trade builds to one another. Cool map check it out!

http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/mimic-ai/

Mouse Precision

Maverck's Reflex
       This is a pretty cool map you control a high templar with unlimited feedback. Your goal is to feedback the suv's as they spawn miss to many and the game ends. Of course the suv spawn rate increases as the game progress. This is a nice mouse precision game which will help getting your mouse set at that perfect sensitivity.

I have already started playing Qxc's "So You Think You Can Micro". It is actually very simple, really fun, and gives good practice for small skrimishes. My highest Hellion vs Zergling is 68!

Great compilation, thanks.

Riley's Micro Olympics with the Stalker micro thing, how the fuck are you supposed to win? I'm doing seemingly perfect blink micro by blinking the dying ones away and doing concentrated fire but it still seems like there's no way to beat it. What am I doing wrong?

Riley's Micro Olympics


this one is bad.... speed is on fast or even slower.

Its not accurate to the normal game speed and its pretty boring after all.

Every custom map you launch is at normal speed, you have to switch it to faster in the game settings.

huh, 11 replies and 0 views

That being said, awesome collection. Will definitely check a few of these out Thanks for putting the time together to get all of these into one place -- I know I've seen their respective threads here on TL, but had forgotten quite a few myself.

These kind of maps will be very helpful for beginners( like me :D) after the game launches too as they allow you to practice certain skills at a time. I for one will be abusing Stet_Tcl's Multitask Trainer in my study breaks. GL HF!
i reeealy should study more!

Blinking hurt ones away isn't enough, you have to use the fact that Stalkers out-range Roaches, and continually kite them, as well as blinking hurt ones.

Qxc's maruader maps don't include concussive shells, which bother me not in the sense that it's harder to kite but it's hard to imagine a scenario where I'd get that many marauders but not get concussive shells with them.

Overall, good maps though. The sniper level in Riley's Micro Olympics is a lot of fun. And I learned that if you press "f" right before you start sniping to hold fire, queing snipes and getting the ghost to snipe is a lot faster.

For the stalker micro, take a look at this:


I failed like 10 times on Faster, never getting below 5 roaches. Then suddenly, I beat them all with 6 remaining stalkers, without ever using blink. The trick is to move around them in a circular manner so that your weak stalkers are never directly in front. I didn’t even blink them back, I just moved well. I didn’t have to click to focus down specific roaches either.
