I am now calling in beta testers for my StarCraft campaign, Catalyst. Episode I takes place during the original single player campaign: The Fall. In this episode, you play as Protoss.
Aiur was a paradise for the Protoss race. Its lush jungles, sacred ruins, magnificent cities, and the great psionic matrix provided comfort for the highly developed race. But as the fog clears and the storm clouds disband, everything that once was is no longer existent. Cities have been crushed, jungles have become nothing but burning embers, and shredded bodies desecrate the foliage with a field of blood.
A lone vessel limps through the columns of smoke. A wave of thick carapace, claws, and razor teeth sweeps across the field towards those who struggle to survive. Battered warriors make their stand against the spreading infection. Yet, the vile beast continues its spread through the soil and will continue until Aiur belongs to it. Perfection is its goal….
A Protoss operation prepares to ready the reclamation of Aiur. They are the first line against the Zerg and a beacon of hope for those trapped behind the Zerg lines. However, as battles to claim the world continue on, a clandestine force makes their unseen arrival. Hidden secrets and crucial timing will force the inevitable conflict that is to come from their contact.
The gameplay style is akin to that of what you experience in the original game. Do not fret, for I have taken care to implement as little build and destroy as possible.
I will only require three beta testers for this. It should be advised that if you want to keep any amount of boredom at its lowest, don’t look at every map I send you first thing. The only real requirement is that you have the time to play all ten maps within a month or two.

Is this a multiplayer campaign with minerals and melee style game or is this an UMS style game in an rpg sorta style fashion.
I might be able to test in awhile. I wont be too long, I have to finish a map of mine, in a few days.

As it said in the first post, it uses a play style like you would find in the original game. And it is a UMS campaign.

The computer's AI isn't improved in any way, but it did do some things that were rather surprising to me in the initial test that I thought it was incapable of doing so. That could just be on part of my ignorance of how the game works, however. In short, no AI changes are planned as of yet.

The maps are finished and there will be an executable only with light modifications such as portraits and sounds.
