While I do play it now I think that it wrecked the original and people that play it miss out on a lot of the real strat that starcraft is about. Do you think this map will be in StarCraft 2? & nothing against or for it just curious. Thanks!!

I actualy liked fastest map alot, but i have come to love the others just recently in sc2
 
It will definetly be out once the editor is.

Well, I hope it will not be implemented... I started with these kind of maps in SC1 because my friend played it, and I missed on a lot of things early on because of that. I only started playing Lost Temple hardcorly (?) the last 2-3 years and never went back to it...


This map is really killing the real game, taking away most of the strategy. No need any expansion, no need minerals gestion, just rally your guys on the mineral and let them gather. It's like if in the "age of" series you had infinite amount of animals right next to your town center so you can't be raided when gathering food...


Finally, even if it's there, it won't be counted as a real win (unlike in SC1). In SC2, real wins will be from matchmaking and you can't play these maps there if Blizzard don't put it. Of course people will play it in lobbies game, but it will be counted more as Use Map Settings-like game IMHO.

This sort of map will definitely come out soon after release, you can count on it. To those saying it kills strategy, I agree with you, but then just don't play it. It won't affect you at all if you just don't play on those types of maps. Saying that it ruins strategy and makes you, as a player, get sloppy and dependent on them is like a fat guy blaming McDonalds for making him fat.

Apparently I was wrong, looks like some guy on this forum made one. http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/general-discussion/%27fastest-possible%27-map/

just did a quick test and i got a stack of approximately 8 minerals working

    <Unit id="250" variation="8" position="75,85,0" scale="1,1,1" unitType="MineralField"/>

just have to paste this line into the "objects" file for every mineral that you want to stack

update 1:

interesting, it seems that the nexus will be displaced if you attempt to place a mineral too close to it, forcing the minimum mineral distance

I would think you could change it in a better way.
They only made fastest maps because that was the best way to go about doing it, what if you can make each mineral chunk give 100 minerals? Then you don't need to stack.

Since you can't do ladder-fastest, itll be custom games and then theres no limit to what you can edit

I know this has probably been previously stated but, i think the galaxy editor won't be able to stack minerals or place a starting location closer than you can while playing the game. I don't think the galaxy editor team wants us to play different style melee maps and yes i do know about the diversity of this revolutionary editor, maybe it might be possible, we'll just have to wait i guess. just my thought.
