SC2 Art of Defense
Use melee techniques to defend your base from waves of incoming attacks. Beat all the waves to win the game in Co-op mode or survive longer than the other team in versus mode. The tech tree is the same as a standard melee game but the cost and build time have been adjusted for a less macro intensive game.
Art of Defense map with the following features:
- Choice of Co-op, Versus, or Battle (currently with 6 players)
- Choice of starting resource (2x, normal, or half)
- Choice of difficulty: Junior (1 upgrade, 1.4x time between waves), Easy (1 upgrade, 1.2x time between wave), normal (2 upgrades and all teched), hard (3 upgrades and all teched)
- enemy units upgrade over time (base on difficulty)
- 50% build time for tier 1 buildings (excluding base defense + production buildings)
- 100% build time for tier 2 buildings (excluding production buildings)
- 200% build time and 200% build cost for tier 3 buildings (excluding production buildings)
- 50% build time for units
- 50% faster larva spawn time
- larva cap at 5
- 99 upgrades with increasing cost and build time
- 21 upgrades for Terran building armor, neo frame, and hi-sec missle
- upgradable base defense
- useable abilities in bunker for ghost and scv
- ability to load zerg units into the bunker
- multiple unit types in attack waves (unit mixture similar to those in melee games for stronger pushes)
- timer and unit type warning (with icons!) for upcoming wave
- attacking units uses abilities, and sweep scanner once in a while if you are cloaked or on the edge
- Terran and Protoss are able to build on creep (make the game more zerg friendly)
- Protoss able to chrono boost allies
- Resource Sharing Option
- Bounty for killing enemy units
- Scoreboard to show each player's unit kills
Things that are in progess are:
- Heroes (for players to build and as attack wave)
Any suggestions are welcome.
- The map is beatable on Normal/normal with all Zerg, Terran, and Protoss. (I did it myself)

Posted Jun 3, 2010I wont be making too many custom units, will just be putting in units from the original starcraft when blizzard release the models.
I decided not to make a tower defense because theres usually only a few set ways to beat it. Basically means you have to memorize each wave.
Thanks for the feedback

Posted Jun 3, 2010Dude this is awesome! If you plan on updating it anyway you could give the players more room for production buildings etc? And maybe make a new map with a similar layout and new kinds of waves? Perhaps two gaps for enemies to enter to spice it up a little? Anyways i can't even describe how much fun i've had on this over the last few days, finally managed to beat it. Do you know of any other custom maps with a similar idea? Besides Tower Defense, that kind of blows in comparison. Anyways i'd love to see a different map, try not to go to crazy on the custom units, those usually ruin custom games for me if they're just ridiculous amounts of them.
5/5 thumbs up for this piece of work dude it's so basic but so well made and fun. Wish more people would make modes like this.

Posted May 31, 2010when they fix the game variant header corrupt issue, ppl will be able to chose which mode to play in the game lobby. Single player massing cannons, don't you think that is kinda non-dynamic? Definitely aren't able to do that in melee games.

Posted May 30, 2010Why don't you make two maps, split up battle/versus mode and coop mode. It would get rid of a lot of the confusion and let people who want to just play battlemode play with others who want to just play battlemode.

Posted May 26, 2010Hi! I have a question, did you publish the map on the us servers? Because i'm from eu and can not find your map. If you uploaded the map on the us servers, could you please try to publish it on the eu too? Played only version 0.62 so far, but that was already a lot of fun! Good Work
greetings

Posted May 23, 2010I saw this online and it was fun but can't play it otherwise due to the weird publishing mechanic. Please re-upload dude. You are only hurting yourself if someone stole it.

Posted May 20, 2010To play multiplayer use this tool: http:forums.sc2mapster.com/general/general-chat/993-tool-map-craft-play-custom-games-online-pc-and-mac/#posts
make sure you get everyone into the lost temple game lobby first before you swap map.
