Take control of a massive battlecruiser and engage in a space battle of epic proportions. Your cruiser acts as your home base which you continue to enhance and develop. Yes, you actually build your base on the ship! Although the map is in its early stages, VoidCraft is already published on EU, and the creator is looking for testers and feedback. Take on other players in 2v2 or 3v3, or even play it single player!

Ever thought you could play a fun map with only one button? That's right, one button only, and that's Z. Two Zerg hives struggle for power in this map as you send waves of units against your opponent. Spam the button to spawn zerglings, or hold it a little longer to spawn higher tier units. Who's the better button presser? Log on to US and play this map to find out!

Wakeman has created a new DotA style map with some exciting new twists. For now this map has 6 heroes, each with 4 unique abilities, as well as items available for purchase. Once your hero reaches level 3, additional mercenaries will spawn which you can order to advance in the lane of your choice. Ontop of that there's not only 1, but 3 bases you need to destroy to win! Check out this great video. :)

LordAbyss has created a map which contains and will contains triggers, functions, conditions, and other trigger editor related items which could possibly be used within your own map. His goal is to fill some of the gaps in the editor and possibly create triggers/functions that could be used on a regular basis that might not be easily reproduced. By responding to his thread you also have the ability to provide suggestions which might appear in this file at a later date that you might be able to use!

"Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom." Proximo to Maximus, The Gladiator.
Now, playing StarCraft 2, it will soon be your turn. In this 3 player coop map, take the role of one of four different classes, and work together to unleash devastating and spectacular attacks in the arena. Can you win the heart of the crowd? Or will you simply tremble in fear as the doors slide open to reveal your opponent?

"Gotta make some more watering drones, need my plants to last longer. And milk the cows of course, yes. Ah crap, forgot to train watch dogs, and now my enemy used his baby infestors to infest my plants. Oh well, glad I have that Bio-Nuke handy, not to mention Zergling Munchies and the Babylisk Playground techs."
Believe it or not, you might actually say these things one day, and I for one cannot wait. Farmlings is on the way (currently in early stages of development).

Creation released a cool trailer of Aerials, a 4 player 3rd person shooter map currently published in the US. You assume control of either a Loki Battlecruiser, Merc Goliaths or Merc Vikings! I don't know about you, but he had me at Loki Battlecruiser.
HGMA Defense was a popular map back in Broodwar. Now it lives again in StarCraft II thanks to PatchOne. It is a cooperative unit/hero defense map for 2 - 7 players. So bring your friends and see if you got the skills to keep those waves at bay! The map is published both in EU and the US. :)

We have just added a Broken Maps category for users who are experiencing issues with their maps and believe the source of the problem to be within the Galaxy Editor itself. If you find yourself in this situation, upload your map to the Broken Maps category. This will make things easier for us to push your maps over to the guys at Blizzard that can actually get these problems fixed. Your files will still remain private, as only the SC2Mapster Moderators and Blizzard will touch them. Thanks!
Catching up on the Weekly Terraining Excersises, we take a closer look at round #12 for some stunning visuals depicting life under the sea. The terrain our members keep punching out week after week is nothing short of amazing, and this week is no exception!
Remember those Healing Fountains from Warcraft 3? While making such a fountain in the SC2 Editor sounds easy in concept, figuring out how to do so might not be. However, OneTwoSC has made an excellent video tutorial showing how to create one. So if you're making a DotA style map, or anything which would require a place to restore health (or whatever you'd like really), you're going to want to check out this tutorial! :)
If you'd like to have an awesome looking talent tree system in your map, but don't know exactly how to make one, the solution is right here! ArcaneRenegade has done some impressive work on a great Talent System which is fully customizable. It has 3 different color schemes, the ability to use prerequisites and more! He's included a tutorial on how to implement it in your map. Be sure to credit him for his work if you use it. :) Check out the video to see it in action!
