I was starting up Staredit today, only to see the usual 128x128 Badlands default map.
I began thinking. Why 128x128 Badlands as default? What makes it so special?
The reason its 128x128, I figured, because its the middle most size avalible.
But now brings us to badlands. Its ordered by first letter (Theres Ashworld). Any theories?

I noticed that and I've always wondered too. I guess cuz it's the most used?

Its a pretty generic-looking tileface... That might be it.

Maybe some developer of the staredit program likes the badlands terrain and made it the first selected.

It might have been the first one completed or something...

Its barely used on bnet accually.

Accually, thats probaly the reason. In the beta, it was all badlands.

Also notice how the first ACTUAL mission in the terran campaign use badlands... If you are wondering about the tutorial mission, I bet they added that AFTER they completed the rest of the terran campaign. (Not Brood War)

I generally use badlands because of the very wide variety of terrain. Especially the Asphalt and Structure. And then there's your generic dirt, mud, grass, water, etc. It's the most basic terrain that you can possibly get.

I wouldnt say its nessicarly the most basic... they are all pretty basic. I just agree with the fact it was the only one used in Beta so thats probably why it is the first.
