Well it seems interesting. Ill give it a try and post back later. Also does it tell you like any basic stratetgy or how to micro for noobs?

No, but I'll give you some tips.

Have your attack lead with wraiths. Have some scourges follow behind to take out carriers. Carriers should be the farthest back, and be used for destroying individual wraiths.
Keep your command ship at your base in the start. Place it next to the SCV and use as a defense mechanism.

This map was awful. 1/10. I don't care what you think of this post, this map was HORRIBLE god damnit. Dude, first off, you had ABSOLUTELY NO TERRAIN. Second off, there was so many glitches and no effort AT ALL was put into this map. 0.5/10 or even 0.25/10. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but this was the worst map I've ever played in my life.

Funny, watch Mini Moose warn me for this post. The admins on this site take the smallest amount of criticism as flame. Whatever, at least you got the message that this map = no effort at all. You probably know already, but yeah, anyways.

I cant really say much about the game, because I cant play it! I cant play Starcraft right now. By looking at it, automatically I dont really like it that much! Others have said that this game isnt very good, I will give you the benefit of the doubt! 6/10

I am guessing you are sending this map to MiniMoose for the May thingy! Good Luck!

What glitches? It always works flawlessly for me. The only problem is the briefing, because of a typo and lack of time to fix it. The lack of terrain was to give it a more oceany feel. I originally had some grass, but it looked ugly.

Well I found it pretty ez, all u need 2 do is rush over 2 the other docks and control them. Then gather units and attack ur opponents. If something else was added like land battles or something but the name says it all. How about if in the next version u add land

. I give it 6/10 like 7-7 did.

Wtf? You can't just make random comments/ratings without even playing a map. It's possible that you might not like it, but you can't just assume things without playing/knowing them. Only little kids do that, but I'm pretty sure you're much better than that.

Well anyways, fix the briefing to this map. It went by in a flash

I typoed the briefing for 2000 milliseconds instead of 20000. I have to open it up in StarEdit, which will delete some buildings on the edge of the map.

Well, if you had added more terrain, I'd be happier. And if the map wasn't so damn small.

The map is small to keep it fast paced and easy to find enemy units. The lack of terrain is to give it a more open ocean feeling. And you still haven't told me about any of your glitches/bugs.
