All my campaign maps (UMS) work as well in the other playing modes of SC. 
I have a couple of maps that are suited 2 do campaigns (UMS of course) with'em where u (the player) begin with 0 buildings and then evolve as the plot goes.
I've done all of'em 2 work with both modes of playing, the UMS in 1 side vs. the Melee and Free for all in the other. It's not usual, when I put some though in2 it... I've added a map of my own in development stages that u can play n' see 4 urselves.
[attachmentid=1183]
Is it a common trend or am I inovating?
Please let me know all ur opinions, links that discuss the same, etc.
Tks in advance 4 all the helpful hints & tips.
Edit reason: Changed location of the attached file... it was in the middle of text. *Meh*
Oh btw, I sended it as a protected map... If I'm wrong in doin' that please let me know.

All of my maps are specific to one type: UMS -.-

Well most of the maps I make are only UMS...it sort of depends though because some maps in UMS might need minerals/vespene...

Well you could have minerals and vespene preplaced and then remove them with triggers to suit the UMS map... right?

Well... I didn't seem 2 explained myself clearly.
I'll give it another shot.
I start a new map and it comes with the all players triggers default in it (the buildings crap that sets victory or defeat).
I stick with those, modified a little bit (added switch in conditions), and then make my own trigger 2 be the UMS map I want. This 1 (earlier map sent) start with no buildings (sorta) and then develops 2 u making the tech tree from scratch...
I'll try and add the trigger file (*.trg) that can be exported 4 u all to see it better.
Where the f..k is the attachment tool?
Edit reason: stepped out (of the post) 2 find the attachment tool and upload the trigger's file...

All of the maps I make are UMS. There are too many money maps out there, so why make more

I've only seen about 2 or 3 maps that were both UMS and melee other than that it's UMS or melee all by themselves.

Well I think that's kinda cool that most of your maps work in both but it's also kinda strange, it might mean your UMS is different enough from melee.

Carnorus,
Who said a thing about money maps? I sure didn't!
All I said that my maps usually work in both genders and asked if it's common.
Xeno(U) also made an interesting point (idea 2 me) that would remove the resources with triggers 4 the UMS genre... Maybe I'll use it in a map of the Dominion Fall that I'm slowly pumpin' out.
Fu Leng & NerdyTerdy replied 2 what I wanted.
But I still wanna hear opinions from more ppl...
The map I submitted is about 10% complete, altough the triggers are well developed (mid stages) but the terrain is only in its early stages.
The map starts when SG-1 gets out of an StarGate 2 do a recon of the planet where SG-6 was sent 2 do an earlier recon (scout, if u wanna) and eventually establish a base (briefing plot). After losting contact with the group u're sent 2 investigate...
I've added the maps triggers later 4 ppl 2 see how I do it, if they wanna comment on that 1 too.
My reasons 2 do maps with both play systems is simple, most folks over B.net play only the melee genre, so if they dl my maps from the site i usually upload 2, they'd get both styles at the same time. I'm still working/testing the bit over the melee part 2 see how can I make it different from the UMS genre I usually play. My melee games are usully over LAN, so I don't hang much on the B.net anyway.
I'll send a complete map (protected) that works in both genres, of my other current project (see my siggy 4 intel) 4 all if u wanna test it... my concept that is.
The (P) stands 4 protected. If u want, please let me know n' I'll provide the trigger file (*.trg) also...
Edit reason: Add the map... *Meh*
