Hey Hobrow ur map is really addicting. With 2 people (since this is the least laggiest option and most manageable) I've brought the queen down to 6k health. I know how to beat ur map now : D! Upgrade everything. Bunks need to be built almost to the lip of the choke point at mid. Swarm siege tanks on the right and when final wave comes move all infantry to the center and keep queen there long enough for siege tanks to bring her health low.

@ lyravega: I have no idea what causes your frame problems. I have none.

Greetings Hobrow, really nice map. Although, I have FPS problems even though there are no buildings or units, in the zone between 2 enterances. Is it possible that this is caused by a map "error"? I have a powerful PC, but still whenever there are many units on the screen, it slows down. But only in this map, I get low FPS in that area even it is deserted as I've said.

Oh also, can you get rid of day/night changes? Thanks :)

Yes I am german.

Broodlords owned you? Use snipe and cannons... also don't build to many marines. That's the general mistake.

Just tried playing through 1.4. I got owned by the Brood lords. 6-8 of them. Not enough minerals for 2-3 turrets to defend. Marines range wouldn't pick up the BL's. Q_Q

Still some grammar mistakes in the Intro. Not a big deal. I'm assuming you're German?

@ Malkari: Working on it :)

Edit: I have been working for about 2 month on this map now. Single player is doable at the moment. This map is supposed to be hard. I don't like maps that I can beat in the first try. (Thats why I played the campain on hard, and tryed the last level about 50 times until I found the right taktic to beat it) However changing the damage of the Marines is a bigger deal than you think. You (can) have 10 marines in a bunker and (should) have several bunkers. Increasing their damage by one is a huge amount same for attack speed. I think that my numbers are quite fine now.

Minerals are realy no issue if you don't send hundreds of marines into thier dead by using them as a wall... Gas income might be a bit low. But having unlimited gas ... reduces the fun.

Edit #2: 1.4 is online!

Honestly, this map is really hard. I really like this map and how it plays out though. Oh, and fix the beginning intro text. A lot of misspells. But, 8/10!

EDIT: Getting to the Queen is really, fun! I died, because the queen just wrecks through bunkers.

I changed some stuff to make it a little easier.
I changed the harvest time to 2.25 and the harvested amount to 6 instead of 5. The same with Vespene. And I also added 1 extra mineral place. I changed the amount the Harvesters cost from 100 to 75.
I changed the Commander's attack of the Psi Storm from 20 to 40. Along with his regular attack from 10 to 12.
I changed the life of the Marines from 45 to 50 and their attack from 6 to 7. Along with the period of the attack from 0.8608 to 0.7895. (I honestly don't think putting in 2 extra numbers does anything of massive effect) And also increasing there build time from 20 to 24.
I changed the Siege Tanks Siege mode attack from 50 to 55. I also increased/decreased the amount to build them. 225 gas to 300, and 350 minerals to 300. I figured since I wasn't struggling for gas as I was minerals, it trades out pretty well. But also increasing their build time from 45 to 52.
I changed the bunkers life from 400 to 450.
I changed the Photon Cannons range from 10 to 11. I changed their period of attack from 1.25 to 0.9875.

EDIT #2: I just finished it with the new things I added and I think one of the main reasons I died the first time is because I didn't focus fire the Queen with my Siege Tanks along with my other stuff. I'm going to have to downgrade some stuff to make it less easier to kill the Queen.

So, after the first boss, are enemies suppose to spawn from the just ahead of the lava? A group of us actually managed to hold the outpost then got blindsided by the cheating map ._.

Ok, EU servers are finaly up and i gained access to the editor... well the new version just broke a ton of things. Mostly Unit costs but also some other things. I actually don't have much time to work on this, so don't expect a new version very soon.

Edit: Well, looks like it looked way worse than it was.

I'll have a look at the multiplayer balance when b.net gets back up. Just for the case that air is too powerfull or space is too rare in multiplayer, I might add some antiair units for T2 in multiplayer. Or maybe some special upgrades or maybe somthing comletly differtent. I got some ideas. Well we'll see how easy or hard multiplayer is...

Well I managed to get to the queen without any real problems, but it took me around 4 tries to beat the queen solo. I think the map is pretty good for solo play now maybe should make broodlords a little harder but that will probably mess up multiplayer.

Will try multiplayer when b.net gets back up. But since you have limited space to build on I think multiplayer is still way to hard especially with a full game and especially against the air. The left side will usually get cleaned out by the hydra/roach since you cant kill the air fast enough with several players. But I may be wrong since i Havent played the latest versions very much in multiplayer.

@Stierc: Queen spawn is already fixed in my local version. As well as the Wave 20 trigger... I am curently testing out how to balance the last waves correctly. I should be done with that about tomorrow late afternoon.
