Can you make an alien based map?

It's very funny, I played one in Starcraft.

It's something like this:

Each player has a Sarge, nothing more, and they have to reach to X point... The first what reachs alive, won... BUT, it's quite hard, because the map is FULL (at every place) of aliens (ants )

It would be awesome... Can you do it? I think isn't so hard.

And another question: How they make the maps?

I heard what they are made with notepad, is that true?

See later!

That does sound like a good idea, I've tried to add roaches and ants to the maps but still haven't gotten it to work. Its really hard to make a map like. I'm not sure I can do it, but I want to at least figure out how to add roaches and ants. I wanted to at least make a map where you can make them out of garages or something. And no, you can't use Notepad to make maps.

It would be awesome if you can make it O_o... Other AWESOME idea it would be games like Torret Defenses (level one: grunts; level two: mortars;etc...It would be very hard, I think, but is one of the most addictive maps on Starcraft :)) or a Impossible Map (each player has one unit, nothing more... They have to use with caution, because they have to kill many enemys, only with a few units, and using them with inteligence... It's nice, and very hard to win...)

Well, thanks for reading my suggestions :)

And sorry if you don't understand me sometimes... I'm learning english, hehe.

hmm, sounds interesting, I might look into that and see what I can do, modifying the maps takes a long time because you have to keep testing it after every change to make sure the map doesn't crash.

How do you modify the maps?

One day I was bored and opened a map with notepad... I see strange things first, and then some commands... The bottom part, with includes, remembered me a Scripting languaje in a mmorpg creation engine XD.Also tryed to, in the dum dum frenzy, change the dum dums into ants, but the engine didn't detected the players, lol.

!!!!!

tht happened to me too once... i was bored and looking through the map files somewhere in the game..

and then i saw something...

i think it was the computer players strategy... lol it was weird...

and now i cant find it i hope i can find it again!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe 1 day I will make a video tutorial on how to mod maps

lol sounds good.. :P

It would be nice... It's easy? (with commands like when you open a map with notepad)

Its not easy, if your map requires change of units, u must use 2 computers for testing, if your mod requires change of resources, u can just use the multi-player hack to test it, they require lots of testing so that they won't crash your game.
