Me and my friends have been playing quick games of "SCV wars" whenever we're waiting for other members of our group to join, grab a cup of coffee or are otherwise idle. The idea is simple: You cannot mine, but you need to kill the other through micro, trickery and tiny SCV drills.
The basic idea is simple: you're not allowed to mine minerals in a 1v1. Whoever micro's the initial scv's better, achieves victory.
As we enjoyed the mini-game over the years, I thought I'd make it into a map (first time I've touched the editor). It's supposed to be simple:
- A small map,
- 1 cc, 6 scv's and enough resources to build 1 more scv,
- Defeat once a player loses all scv's,
- no loading into the CC and flying off.
Update
I added mineral patches for mineral walking. They do not have enough minerals to build an additional SCV. You can see the outline of the map and the location of the 5-mineral mineral patches on the screenshot below.
Edit: It's published under "SCV war" in Europe, there's another map "SCV warS" by someone else...
