Locale fixed, good job (i had fixed the previous version in order to play it tough) The problem (i think) now is that i get vision of the terran base, don´t think that's intended.

I liked the map but i have the US Beta and keep getin Value/Param/6456459 etc which is really annoying, would be cool if you'd fix the locale "bug".

Hey posted about a glitch on team liquid but I don't know if you've read that thread, basically you can set the probe to patrol the island and it will make it around the map only being hit enough to deplete its shields. So it becomes a set and forget.

I can see this being a great learning tool. I agree with a previous poster though, to a player new to SC and micro'ing, trying to keep the probe alive is extremely hard. Maybe create a Very Easy mode with something not quite so time consuming to help extreme beginners like myself?

One idea would be to make the player micro manage the probe for certain time intervals. IE, make them manage it for 30 seconds and then give them a 30 second break.

Thanks, James

Hello, saw this map on Weapon of Choice, it is amazing imho...i dont think its too hard by no means...i mean ye its hard but i managed to finish it on easy level after perheps 3 tries...and im no pro player im just a scrub from silver league...so yeah keep the good shit up <3

Wow.Nice map and thx for sharing it.It is soo hard,but that's what keeps you playing it.And it helps a lot! Finally managed it to finish on normal after frustrating 10 tries or more.Almost destroyed my keyboard cause it was soo close so often :D Thx again and keep on doing it. Didnt try the hard mode so far,but what about adding a "ultra hard" mode with turrets on the island which shoot your transporter :D So you have to use a skelleton force to come through it ^^

a seriously great map.
But i feel like the rescue of the executor is kind of easy.

some suggestions :
 - add some other multasking feature (ex : if it is zerg, you begin with a creep tumor : If you have a creep tumor which can duplicate and did not in 30 sec, then you loose)
 - force the in-built macro mecanism (you start with a queen/orbital command and  you MUST never have more than 50 energy on the queen/nexus and 100 on the orbital command)
 - remove the rescue thing, or make it more difficult, like you must do multiples successives actions like this (which could be random and given at some part of the map)
 - make the game "faster" even in easy mode, because I'm afraid it could make you loose the real timings (on queen & co)  !
 - Make the base you must destroy and the base which attack you different so that you can actually scout what it is doing (it may be stupid because of the very bad AI thought) and diversify it's strategy : the player must not win because he knows what is coming !
 - Allow expansion and maybe find a way to force the player to do them in hard

bug :
 - even when I pick zerg it says "you must have additionnal pylons" which is kind of disturbing ! (I think this is a known issue )

I do not know what you want to do with this, but i think some of this features could be great !!

Again great map man !

Of course it's frustrating, it's training. From this, I've started hot keying more production buildings and keeping my minerals much lower, all while microing that dumb probe.

I've played the map five or six times so far, and I keep getting better and better at it, so I know it helps!

I've managed to keep all five Probes alive, with full health! He'd take a hit or two but the shield regens, luckily.

Now to try normal mode!

This may be my anger from trying it a few times and failing but get rid of the damn probe. No one babysits a scout for 15 minutes.

It gets impossible. The Zergling makes far sharper turns and the probe dies instantly if you are at all late on getting back to it. This doesn't help someone who needs major improvement get faster, it only serves to frustrate them.

I can't seemingly get an army going when I have to go back to this probe every 3 seconds. It would also help if "Proberto"'s stats were actually the same as a normal probe. He's far more fragile than any unit you will ever get or make, so keeping this piece of sugar-glass alive is an unrealistic expectation put on the player.

To be very honest, I feel like my first objective is to save the probe by getting a flyer and blowing the zergling to hell.

Take this with a grain of salt as I just played it a few times and lost solely due to this miserable probe babysitting. This comment is mostly fueled by anger and frustration at that.

I love it :D Finished it on easy, its a great map

You did a good job on this map, keep it up. I can see using this once a day before you go into matches can increase your APM/Multitasking...

I was using it and was doing way more then I used to before.

Suggestions... When I tried to view the replay to see if my APM went up, I couldn't load the map in the replay.. Maybe at the end of the game, show APm for players if they want, instead of going straight to the defeated screen, as well as some helpful information/tips? Might add a good touch.

EDIT: I think if you add those the player can see the map is helping them improve, and use it regularly.

Probe and zergling thing is fine, once zergling hit the probe, probe makes distance and regenerate shield so its not a big deal (a bit annoying for sure though, but thats the point of practicing multitasking right?)

But the enemy starts with too much army.

zerglings are slightly faster than probes. make it a zealot instead

why zergling... it would be better if another worker is following

zergling kills my probe even if i take full control of probe :p

ok i love it but that save the probe shit was gay as any thing i have ever seen PLZ take it out
