Alright new version should be up that fixes most of the stuff. It's called "Battlecraft 2.1". Author is Tordecybombo.

Guess I'll fix the leaderboard later.

I can't figure out why the duplicated Hydralisk needle spines attack kept causing crashes upon killing certain units. So I just used a workaround by applying some permanent damage+ behavior for the Elite hydra.

That's a problem with how phase 2 messed up the object IDs and adding additional attributes like custom cost.

I didn't mean to publish this version but apparently someone else did before I can even publish. I'll publish under "BattleCraft Armageddon" when I finish fixing this map for phase 2.

Thanks.

Although I don't think it should have gotten the popularity it deserved (not top at least, wouldn't mind second-twelth though). That's due to the flawed popularity system that favors short games like this map. There are much better designed maps I've seen that I would have loved seen as top more often.

If blizzard doesn't revamp the way popularity works, I'll add a round based format option (best-of-1/3/5/7) to hopefully lengthen the games played.

I think defensive hybrids are fine. They can't tank most more expensive units that deal high damage for each hit. It's your opponent's fault he wasn't aggressive enough to force you to spend money anyway.

Not sure if people like the aggressive timer system. It really only affects early game and discourages people to go straight for elite units anyway. I think it does its job of getting people to make units to jumpstart the game.

Think I just need to make it more noticable like putting timer bars on the top left.

I'm cool with spin-offs. The more variety of these types of maps, the better imo. It's hard to please everyone.

Hopefully can get one last update (version 2.0) before this phase of beta ends.

Gameplay and balance is gonna be a bit different since there's new units and gameplay changes that penalize non-aggressive players (only early game though).
