This map is pretty simple and easy to understand. Its, basically, played like those Budokai maps out there. This map is evenly balanced unlike most Budokai maps. This map is also at x4 speed. biggrin.gif It starts as 2 players in a arena dueling each other. Since this is a "melee dueling" game there will be no ranged units, except for spells, to use. This will remove the cheaply idea of "hitting and running" people. If you ever run on low health or need to heal there is always the option to tag your partner in, unless your partners have died. While sitting out, you have a medic, with infinate energy, to heal you. You can summons spells by, simply, moving your Inner Spirit (Caster) - Dark Templar - to cast spells/abilties. Each ability cost ARD (Acute Raid Damage*) - Vespene Gas - to activate. There is a selection of 3 characters to choose from, Szalor (Zealot), Kamar (Firebat), and Berzon (Zergling). The characters must be chosen in the "pre-game chat room" by moving yourself to the proper slot. There is also 2 of each character, think of them as clones, or good self, evil self. tongue.gif Each with there own unique and indiviual spells and abilities. Abilities and skills, like planting mines or summoning a lesser version of yourself, are permenant, but there are ways to counter those. The counters can be figured out on your own. tongue.gif You may also have to choice to "fuse" spells/abilities to make them last longer, but at the cost of more ARD. Also, due to the limit of the amount of ARD you can carry, you cannot "fuse" a strong spell with anything. This is the list of fuseable combos:
***************
L = Low Spell
M = Medium Spell
S = Strong spell
***************
- L & L
- M & L

This is the list of non-fuseable combos:
- M & M
- S & M
- S & L

To End the game, all opponents must be killed. You may not be able to cast a spell when you're dead.

I hope you enjoy my map, you can download it here

Some of the new Budokai maps are pretty balanced. Your idea of "hit and run" to prevent it is a good try, but that's not the main problem in Budokai maps. The main problem is faster units running around to stall for gas, enabling them to cast spells.

If that's the case then maybe I should add a stimina system in it or something of that sort

Just a suggestion hynk for if you were to add a Stamina system, you should definetly use Death Counters foryour Stamina system and not wait triggers. smile.gif

Wow, great job on the map Hynk. I know how time consuming it is to create a good map and balance it. Your map is very cool!..

I would give you some suggestion or ideas but I can't think of any lol.

Just wanted to let you know that you did a great job on it.

Ah its 4x speed. That's why I dropped when playing this with you, Hynk. Sorry about that, but Macs can't play maps with 2x or 4x or even 8x speed. The map does look good though.

Heres the link to the file in the DLDB: http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=3057

ADDITION:
Okay, I've edited a couple things, I've made the Fire Mines spell stronger for its worth, and I've made the Berzon Jr. spell a bit stronger, also, for its worth and to make it more useful. You can download the updated version here: [attachmentid=9541]

Its not hard to make a game fast... To make a map at x4 speed, you just put a Player 14 unit at the top left corner of the map. This unit MUST be the VERY FIRST unit placed... or it will not work.

Actually, it could to certain things that may varry.
For Windows PC it would, drop you and get you disconnected or crash your StarCraft.
For MAC, it just doesn't work, you just drop, even if you did it properly. Just like DevliN said, I presume he knows from experience.

NOTE: There is just one bug I can't seem to figure out. It rarely happens and doesn't do much. All it is, is it completely freezes every unit, and it goes to normal speed. To remove this, just exit the current game and remake. The chances of this happening are around 1:100, so don't worry.
