Bunker Madness
This map is rather similar to Mooch's map Sunken Madness. In this map, players will try to destroy each other's power generators using observers to drop loaded bunkers onto the battlefield.

Storyline / Introduction
Basically, the idea is to kick each other's asses to upgrade your bunker units and gain heroes and spells, while defending your power generators and devising a plan to break through and kill your opponent's power generators.
Features
-Player Interface
Each player has an observer. Whenever you move that observer over a blank spot on the ground it will spawn a bunker and 4 men, then load the men inside it.
At the center of the map, there is an island where players can select units and spells to use to their advantage. My system for hero selection is (in my opinion) very useful. It uses a robotics facility which you should hotkey, then you can use rally points and build shuttles to select your hero.
<NEW!>This map uses a unique style player banner that requires one player from each opposing team to decide to ban that person, while if only two teams are playing, that player's partner must decide to ban them.
-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
- The system I described above (as far as I know).
- Demolition Trucks, a siege tank that explodes when you put it into siege mode, killing everything nearby.
- My Uber briefing animation that I have yet to come up with.
Details
-Units
The bunker units (from weakest to strongest) are like this:
- Firebat
- Advanced Firebat (Gui Montag)
- Marine
- Advanced Marine (Raynor)
- Ghost
- Advanced Ghost (Stukov)
- Assassin (Kerrigan)
- Advanced Assassin (Duran)
I still need around 3 or 4 more ideas for heroes/spells, but here's what I've got so far:
-Heroes
- Unclean One (plague/dark swarm)
- Siege Tank
- Demolition Truck
- Corsair (disruption web)
- Dark Templar
- Guardian <NEW!>
-Spells
- Nuke (destroys all bunkers on the map)
- Repair (repairs all of your team's buildings)
- Base Defenses (cannons around your power generator)
- Swarm (sends a bunch of zerg at the opponent of your choice)
-Fixed!!
There is one glitch that I've been observing with this map so far, which has to do with the bunker placement system. If you want to try and help me solve this problem, go to this thread: Bunker Placement Issue - I fixed this!
Screenshots / Demo
None yet.
Will post soon.

Wow, right before I posted this, I hit the power button on my computer with my toe and the whole thing turned off. Glad it's still here.

If I fix the bunker placement bug...probably. Lol! 
ADDITION:
UPDATE: Added new hero: Guardian. I still need 1 more hero. Any ideas?
I'm thinking of making a "swarm" spell that generates a small group of random zerg units and sends them rushing to your opponent's base. Sound good? *Puts on silly hat*

Yay 2 people like it now! 
UPDATE:
Added a banner that requires 1 person from each other team to decide to ban the player, or just their partner. If only 2 teams are playing, it must be their partner that decides.

I've run into a slight problem with the unit evolutions. Basically whoever gets to marines first wins. I'm trying to balance this out... I'm almost finished!

There are already a lot of madness maps out there - are you sure the unique systems you have described are enough to set it apart?

UPDATE:
Nixed the banner.
Finished triggering the bunker drops for all eight players. Now all that's left is triggering the heroes and spells.
I also came up with a system for unit/spell info. It requires EUD's and I don't even know if it's possible with those. You set a rally point on a unit that you want info on, then you build a reaver and it gives you the info. Is this possible?

Well, I just looked through Uberation's list of EUDs, and there is nothing for waypoints. I'm 90% sure it's impossible.

Okay.
UPDATE:
- Finished triggering the base defenses spell (creates cannons around your power denerator).
- Fixed problem with siege tanks (they couldn't use siege mode).
- Re-balanced a bunch of units.
All I've got left to do is the briefing, the swarm spell and perfecting the nuke spell.
ADDITION:
UPDATE:
- Finished triggering the swarm spell.
- Perfected the nuke spell.
Triggers are done, only the briefing is left (well, besides getting everything balanced correctly).
