Map Selection

I've been playing a lot of maps these days and I made a selection of 5 maps that are already playable (meaning with a beginning, and end and more than 10 minutes of content inside!). We are friday and the week-end is coming, you have no reason not to try them :) In order to test them, open the Galaxy Editor (in the Starcraft II install folder), double click the map you just downloaded and press Ctrl+F9 (or File / Test Map).

• Protect the Statue by tyrindor - You have to micro your units to defeat the many incoming waves
• Mar Sara Outlaws by johnfloyd - Third person campaign with rough cinematic and speeches
• Attack of the Xel'naga by Volsky - Campaign like the official one
• Galaxy TD by Paras1tePL - Tower Defense using custom interface for the tower upgrades
• ZigZag TD by KamNinja - Basic Tower Defense

Custom UI by LTGH

LTGH from the Hive Workshop just did an incredible thing: change the UI to make it look like World of Warcraft. This is going to give all the 3rd person maps a better immersion feeling.

Terrain Deformation by Hati

No ones really worked yet on the Actors and it's really sad because they are probably the most powerful addition of the Galaxy Editor. Hati gave it a shot and worked on a spell that rises the terrain. He explained how he did it and that really takes 2 seconds to do it. If you want to create amazing things I really encourage you to dig into Actors.
