I'm remaking a classic from SC1 for SC2.
Recommended players: 2 [1v1] or 4 [2v2]
Some details:
- Buy attacker armies at the top left corner of the map. Each individual unit purchase creates an army of that unit. These units will automatically attack toward the enemy's life crystal.
- Buy defensive structures and heroes at your Life Crystal. In addition to minerals, these special units require vespene gas.
- Mineral count increases automatically. To fasten the pace of game as time goes by, income and vespene gas increases as you kill more units.
- For more convenient purchasing, hotkeys are initiated at the start for each player. [1-4] are for buying attacker armies while [w] is the life crystal.
- You can still play with/computers by adding AI for a player slot. The AI just makes random units so don't expect it to be any good.

Hey guys Slug here. I don't have a computer anymore but I still play this game in my dreams. And if any of my close friends want to hit me up anytime just message me your number. Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease..
Also, trading ruins 2v1. Side player just gives all their money to opposite player (and nukes if you try to finish them before trading is enabled).
The fact that my ally leaving during the load screen results in a net +8 income to my opponent with no cost at all is ridiculous.
Still waiting for trading to be taxed... there's no way for a non-trading team to beat a trading team, and two of the players ends up bored and watching.
suggestion: 99% ppl don't know about the hyper option.
you should put it in the game description and screenshot to show where to pick it
that's always happened with the scourge hachi the levi thing is new though and kinda irritating
YO Tordecy what's up on aggro man
Hey i just wanted to mention that i LOVE the hyper option on the Starcraft menu, this way i can play battlecraft and know that it will be hyper and not worry about noobs not pressing on so PLEASE dont get rid of that especially since you can pick regular 2v2 and then have the option of choosing hyper on or off so definitely dont get rid of the hyper option for joining games Also thanks alot for your hard work providing us with the greatest tug of war ever :)
please fix the two major bugs in 1.5 right now:
1) Leviathan creates a screen flood of error messages.
2) scourages circle at the intersection and dont move to destination
I think you should put hyper vote back in game. No one uses it or even knows it exists.
Also is aggro mode working?
Sup tordecey, I just played a game and it glitched a couple times, thought I'd report it.
It was down to a 1v1, the others left the game. I was purp, my opponent was red. So basically, he had me beat due to a good arma, and I was just trying to get some desperate zealots out, but I was dead. I was holding down Q (grid) and as soon as I had 100 mins or close to it, like 6 waves of zealots popped out and saved my ass. It happened again a bit later when I was sending lings, except it sent like a grands worth.
I attached the replay. BTW, I'm liking the new updates for 1.5 you put in place... the mode dropdown menu is nice, but I feel as if not many people know about the hyper options. Thx!
maybe you should add in the help bubbles what the new agro/tug mode is?
color choice
If you want to play in hyper mode, you have to select mode right above the PLAY button. This way you'll guaranteed to be playing hyper mode.
Tell me if you prefer the old way where you vote for hyper mode in-game so I can change it back.
WARNING FOR PATCH 1.5
THIS GAME IS OFFICIALLY DEAD IF TORDECYBOMBO DO NOT FIX THE CRASH ISSUE HAPPENING IN THE STARCRAFT 1.5 PATCH.
THE GAME WILL INSTANT CRASH TO DESKTOP AS SOON AS ANYONE SPAWNS HIGH TEMPLARS ON THE MAP RENDERING THE GAME UNPLAYABLE. THOUSANDS OF USERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BUG ON THIS MAP ALREADY. PLEASE FIX ASAP
I think something useful to add to battlecraft would be that when you have a cpu as an ally, have it mirror the game settings you pick so that the game can be played in hyper mode with CPU's not that many people ever play with CPU's but i just think it would be a useful addition
I think that lurkers need to be nerfed big time as well as infestors. The entire game between pros is still an infestor war. Which it's not hard to learn but there is only so many aspects of the game where it could be a game of wits( which will add SO much more variety). Rather then who has played the infestor game the longest. I'm glad that infested terran have been nerfed but I think the splash should be just a bit higher. And I think that any game with computers shouldn't be rated as Strilanc said because people are abusing it for points. (Which is so discouraging) And, I think that computers should have the same vote as the player. Thank you Tordecy you are my hero. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.
@TheFinalWord I see, well regardless it's still pretty messed
@StevieBlues: Go
Only with weapon upgades... Try it from the start and you will find they do not.
Any reason vindicator psi-damage has doubled? 1 set of vins kills a set of fests or sadistics now, it's kinda retarded. It might've been the hyper scaling in 2.5.14? I dunno. But it's half messed up for sure.
Tordecybombo: Please don't give up on this map! Please give us an update or try to find someone else to pass the map onto to continue development and updates! We will love you long time!
wow been gone for awhile cuz of real life... (since august of last yr) and now i lost my stats :( was 2sword...
