It's gotta be the terrain. I have to have diamond shaped terrans which looks ugly. Then theres the square tool you can use. But it still shows that green diamond which makes it harder to know where you are placing the square terrain. Also it takes lots of time just to get a diamond shaped map to look straight and neat.

The lack of more conditions/actions. The restriction on text strings. The sometimes hard to work with terrain (and ramp doodads). The ... list goes on.

Well probably the 2nd most annoying thing is the Start Location. I always seem to forget about them, then waste my precious time just placing them anywhere on the map. It makes me so fustrated when it starts and sez, "add a start location for player x" Gah i just hate it when it does that.

I just hate terrains, otherwise i could be a good map maker, i have lots of ideas, but terrain stop my work :\

Terrain is the eziest thing to do, but it's the most tedious. If you want perfect square maps its pratically a click fest. Even one screw up can make the map look ugly.

TRIGS!!! :angry:
if I had HALF the trigs I want, I could do almost anything...
give me spell casting trigs, give me regen controll, give me HP by +/- %, give me suply as a condition! give me the ability to give ANY order to a unit, any order it can be given anyway....
current player brings one sweep to anywhere;
move location storm to observer at anywhere
order all templar Psi storm at storm

Heheh trigs are pretty simple, thx to you guys i finally figured out the last trig i was stuck on. Think of trigs as if your pretending that the blue words you always see is "x". You know like in algerba. You are able to put any unit/amount depending on what the trigger is. Generally if you are gonna make triggers, you have to place locations telling the editor where they trigger will be placed. You example of forcing a high temp to psi storm is simple.
Player "x" does whatever you want to activate the psi storm
Go to Run ai script and look for something with psi strorm.
Depending on the editor you have you might not have it, so dl "upgraded" editors.
Place the location where you want to psi storm.
Then your dun.

I hate all of it. Everything just annoys me... I just can't see how great map makers such as TD or Tazzy (and probably all of you people here) can actually make a map that actually work... I made a few tries but it just exespared me with all the things you much watch on...

It's easy actually. Well for me, theres always something that is my inspiration. The Tower Defence map out there inspired me. I thought that the game needed more stuff, it was good but it was missing something to make it better. And also there were times were blocking would actually win the game for you. It starts pretty exciting like if you just got 1 million dollars. After awhile, it starts to get boring like a teacher who talks a lot. Most ppl try and quit in this stage. It gets a bit more intresting after this stage, you feel like your gonna finsh this map, but then u gotta look at what shouldn't be here. Thats where im at. After that stage you either start a brand new map or complete to finsh a map. Patience is rewarded greatly.

But dude, you're basically making ANOTHER tower D map. Its like you're copying one of them, not getting inspired by it.
I dont even know what tower D is. I hate defense maps.

I can do the Triggers, the modding, and everything else except for Terrain Layout and Balancing. I can't make a map that looks good a real. It always looks shoved together. Also, whenever I alter the stats of units, I can't get the balancing right which can lead to a lot of crap.
