Those random objecttives sounds fun, maybe if you will focus on them, it will make this map really unique.
You could for expample split the map into 1 minute parts, in each of which you will have a different objective (like killing creeps, neutrals, capturing points of whatever). Whichever team will get more points (like kill more creeps in creep killing phase) will get a "Xel'naga artefact" (a second resource, instead of gas). There will be a Xel'naga temple in every base, where you can spend this resource to get some permanent bonuses for your team, like stronger creeps or more creeps (expensive), or some instant bonuses like invulnerable towers for 10 sec (like glyph in DotA). Whole team will have this resource together and if someone wants to buy something, the team will vote for it. (player who offered it count as he voted FOR it and other players will get some small dialog window in the corner, where they can votre FOR or AGAINST. if 2 more players will vote for it, the voting ends instantly and the bonus is bought. If 3 will vote against, its canceled. The voting will last 20 seconds for permanent bonuses and 5 seconds for instant bonuses)
All the events doesnt have to be objectives. Sometimes it can be like stronger creeps for that minute, not working shops, instant respawn, punishing death (you lose more minerals if dying) or whatever.
Looking forward to it =)
I was playing this map today and something strange happened to me - when a guy from the other team left, i suddenly lost all my items o.O
Also, are you shure zerg buildings should spawn broodling when protoss buildings dont?

What do you think about my idea? Do you like it?
There are quite a lot of DotA clones on bnet, this one looks nice tho. Keep it up ;)
