Starcraft Maps
Yeah, I play a LOT of
Starcraft! Even
if the game is over a decade old, it's still one of the
best.
Here are some maps I've created. Joe, Todd, and I spend
a lot of
time on SC, nearly always playing as allies against the
AI. These
maps have been crafted to give the AI an advantage 'cause the
SC AI
really isn't too bright. Note that I am not using any
souped-up
AI, just the stock AI that comes with Starcraft/BroodWars.
29 Oct 09 Finally noticed that the maps hadn't been
uploaded to
my website. (Doh!) Sorry about that...
Desolation (8-player,
land-based)
Bases are all in low ground and pretty cramped. To
expand, you
need to move to high ground, but all the resources are in
unprotected
terrain. The map is only 192x192 and the Zerg or Protoss
AI
expands very quickly.
Water World (8-player,
air-based)
Bases are all on islands, also fairly cramped. There are
lots of
islands with resources, and lots of empty islands to act as
strategic
control points. Joe, Todd, and I usually play against
Zerg AI on
this map, and getting spun up fast enough to stay ahead of the
Zerg is
quite a challenge.
Dark Night (2 Terran
humans
against 2 Terran AI, land-based; use Map Settings)
This is a time-limited, destroy-all-buildings map. The
two Terran
AI players have a large, prebuilt defense against air and land
attacks. You have to take out all buildings within 1.5
game hours
(one hour wall-time). You cannot build Battlecruisers,
but there
are four rescueable BCs for each human player. Note that
there
are also two power generators, one on each side of the
map. If
you get an SCV to your power generator, it turns on some map
revealers
on the AI bases. NOTE: To win, you must destroy ALL
enemy
buildings PLUS the power generators!
