A custom map in which you are given a random race to try and take the control of the center of the map. Its very basic, but at least is something better than playing VS yourself.

So here you stay young commander. At uneven ground vs uneven force. Your only advantage is having time. Act wise and achieve victory or rush in and suffer defeat.

* The name is based on the famous replay of a game between KIROFF[T] and Tapoto_kopele[P]. It should be called Use your Imagination, but back than English wasn't so popular in Bulgaria(yes its obviously a typo).

** Considering the amount of units you will need a good PC or you will have problems.

woooo thanks! :D

Mothership holy shit :D

what is this? im confuse!!!!!

This is insane man xD GJ :>.

Good job, this is definitely some clean fun > playing alone.

My game crashes when moving the camera to the center of the map, like its getting overloaded :/


update: turned down my gigabyte overclocking program and it worked np

i scouted with my lovely probe and it got killed by a carrier. no problems.

a few minutes later 2 battlecruisers and 1 carrier attacked my base -.-

wont go scouting again.

Its easy to beat the map if you use last fully upgraded last tier units(Battlecruisers, Carries, etc) or AoE abilities like Psi Storm(after all all the units in the middle are not upgraded). If you wanna have fun try beating them with lower tier units.

THX @ 2g4u
how about a map with less units (small unit groups) to train some mirco?

Megaupload Mirror: Use you illusion v0.9b (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E0RZ58SZ)

The map doesn't show up for me, where should I place it and how do I load it?

It should be placed in "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Maps" right?

So... are they supposed to attack or something? Most of the time I get to steamroll them first before they start owning my ass :P

its really terrifying mothership plus cloaked thors haha.. well not bad my fren hope some more interesting map. yehey

Nope they are just spawned at the mid, they will never attack you. I don't know how to use triggers to get them moving or attacking.

Nice map and a good start to an "AI". Could've made it a little more interesting by placing small groups of enemies at expansions.

Anyway, how hard would it be to code triggers into it? Kinda like when making UMS maps in the first game, group of enemies attacks at the 5 minute mark etc. Someone on IRC said they'd make a primitive map editor so I think great things can come from this.

Thanks for the effort in creating the map. (http://i50.tinypic.com/2wrpysk.gif)

good job!! try expanding on it a little, place some more units, add some fog, remove rain , make it a bit diffrent,

Give me triggers, give me work :) If I can get something working like a timed trigger causing all Player2 units to attack Player1StartLoc it would make the map a lil more fun. Ofc a debugger showing my current ingame cursor coordinates would be precious.

can u make same but spam more of a groun dunits than air units, the mass of mutas and battelcruisers are just anoying and u have to do air combat, which doesnt contain much micro. A mapp with m90% ground units would be much more interesting please

guys i just added a chan for the maphack ai
rizon -> #sc2maphack

Ok but stop spamming that!

I own almost all of them with 8 atom bombs one after another (delay time between atom bombs 1-2 sec each xD)

Uhhh... dumb question but what tools do I need to make a custom map like this? I made some maps for WC3 and I think I could make some fun stuff for the community to try out while we wait for multiplayer patch. I just need to know the names of the right tools to use...

Played it yesterday.... 5 nucks in the middle at one time sloved the game :d was fun tho... ^^

Its nothing fancy guys, don't expect anything better(or at least not made by me) till the release of the Galaxy editor.

What about a standard push breaking map? Like a 2 immortal 5 stalker timing push and you get something tough like 3 zeals, 3 stalkers, and a few gateways and try to stall/hold (they get periodic reinforcements)? Kind of like the push breaking maps that are floating on TL but for SC2?

Like he said, no galaxy editor yet.  Please learn to read.

mass carrier vs mass battle ships, so much fun...

Not to offend the OP, but... does this really deserve a sticky? He's not updating it, and if he does, he can just post that he did and bump it back up to the top of the forum. Otherwise, it's just kinda taking up space unnecessarily.

Can someone please tell me the instruction on how to play this map?

I can play any other maps with any ai fine.

It doesn't work when I try to load this map.

I was wondering why it is sticky really, but I guess it is because this map was first in which you could play VS anything different than yourself. The AI maps came out a day after and ofc ppl started playing them. Whatever I am just proud that a Bulgarian made first custom map for SC2 Beta, no matter that it is as primitive as this.

Also I want to congratulate all Bulgarians with our National Day - 3th March (its like 4th of July for Americans). Always remember that we were an Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bulgarian_Empire), long before any of the current "powerful" nations. And no matter how bad the situation in Bulgaria is atm, always be proud that you are Bulgarian.

boring!

how do you play this map? when i start the game i just automatically win.

that is natural. just press continue playing and consider yourself victorious when you have killed all the enemies

Mmh, why is everyone saying there is no AI?
The first time I played it, I started it with me vs 3 AIs and player 2 destroyed everybody with the massive mixed army.
I used this launcher with starcrack AI v5.5: http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/starcraft-ii-launcher/ (http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/starcraft-ii-launcher/)

The easy way to beat it is to destroy all player 2 buildings of which there aren't many.

Paranoid. I think they're referring the the units in the center not attacking your base.

Yes, but it seems those units get assigned to the player 2 AI, and victory is thus still triggered by destroying his buildings.
At least that's how it was for me.
I haven't managed to play it another way until now.
Are they supposed to wait in the center just to be destroyed?

感谢分享~

Yes, the AI doesn't have triggers to attack. It's a lot harder without an editor.

Boring. You get several nukes and then finish off with some units and gg. Normal game is much more interesting.

You should know, this was made before AI was even here. You shouldn't expect too much from it, considering it hasn't been and likely wont be updated. I honestly suggest it's taken down from its stickied position. There are much greater things than this that can hold its spot.

Insane map :s

insane ?>? this map is worse than any melee, just placed some units in center and what?nothing, thyey stay at 1 place and u kill slowly. totally unimaginative ,,

And I'll add that you should try loading it with AIs like a normal map. It worked for me back then and makes it a lot more interesting.
Will have to retry it with the new team settings now. :)

How come I just start playing as a terran and im just making some SCV's and mining some minerals not sending scouts or anything and like 20 sec into the game i see 500 units move into my base and rape me for no reason?

Nicely Done ! i'v taken a look at it, and it seems so good. i wanna try it. there are some bugs in - the enemy unites are apread around the map, not only in the middle, so its easier when they are not in a group.
10/10
good job !
