Hey everyone! This is my first post here, but I'm already excited and hopeful about conversing with you all.
My ultimate goal of being here, at least for now, is to get my hands on some older maps (say 2000-2001, when I was heavy into Brood Wars). The problem is, I don't remember some of their names, others don't appear to exist anywhere online anymore. Well, I'll just jump right into it.
1. The first UMS map I'm trying to find is one I don't remember the name of. The beginning of the game starts with a Battlecruiser 'crashing' westwardly (left-wise on the map) at the bottom of a map that was 96-wide by 192-tall or something similar. It was a 'tall' map but very thin. Upon landing, each player was given control of a certain number of "reinforcements" that started with marines and some mechs, not really any air. Every set amount of time more reinforcements would arrive. I don't remember how money was made, I believe it was on a per-kill basis. The enemy was the Zerg, and they would attack on a timed trigger, like most contemporary Test of Survival or Special Forces maps. The crash area spanned most of the bottom but was flanked by two raised areas where there were sunken colonies and the like. A popular action would be to take some of the SCVs given as reinforcements and build a base to increase unit capacity. Hmm, I think that's most of what I remember about that map.
2. The map was called A Test of Skill and it was VERY similar to today's Zerg (Hydra) Zone Control. I think that explains most of it. Once you had a certain number of hydras in a zone you were given a super hydra, or something like that. Sunken colonies provided hydras, spore colonies provided infested Kerrigans. If anyone has this map - PLEASE DO share it! It is my all-time favorite! This map was sans mass-attack.
3. I'm also seeking an unadulterated Terran Test of Survival map, since some people have seemingly taken liberal authority in mangling the triggers and units in the newer versions.
Those three are a start, I'm hopeful at least for the first two, the third I could do without but it really was one of the best UMS maps (IMHO) of its kind, ever.
