IncomeWars Pro - StarCraft 2 Maps

This map is for everyone who likes IncomeWars style maps, but dislikes lag, imbalanced units, poor or boring terrain and brainless spamming of just one unit type!

What are the main differences between a normal Income Wars and this map:

You always spawn 4 units at once (resulting in 2-3 frontlines possible)
Less Lag even in lategame (soft and hardcap to income)
Bounty System punishing players who rely on easy to kill units or just spam brainlessly
Beautiful terrain opening up more tactical possibilities
Allied Base with powerful defense units and turrets!
Destroying enemy units more efficiently and bringing down enemy base defenses yield extra rewards (skill rating bonus) granting you the edge over your enemy!
Multiple frontlines allow you to push around your enemy and deny a certain defeat
Full AI Support so you may test this map easily on your own or fill up a game if nobody shows up (just fill remaining slots with AI players)

This map is still in a development stage, but fully playable. All units have been thorougly tested and there is no major balance issue at the moment. However if you come up with some strange tactics or find an exploit, please email me or comment below.

Note that the battle.net uploaded version of this map will always be much more recent than the one found on this page. However I will try to keep both sites up to date! So if you like to play the map just go online and select it from there!

To prevent some messing around with my nerves I had to lock the version which is currently in Europe-Battle.net. Sorry for that one!

This map is now fully localized, but only available in Europe. If you can distribute it on any other realms, send my an email! Thanks. US is now covered as well for the moment. Please continue to submit if you want to help distribute the map!

Happy Carnage!

sounds good. I found out the most lag is caused by missiles. For example one singe BC creates 5 missiles per second. reduce the attack speed and increase damage/armor reduction does help a lot

A programmer started to cuss
Because getting to sleep was a fuss
As he lay in his bed
Looping 'round in his head
Was: while (!asleep()) sheep++;

@Tonnykgb: Just create a custom game with the map from your battle.net menu and click "+A.I." until all open slots are filled with computer players. enjoy! @b0ne123: Despite massive boni to your mineral cash through skill rating and destruction bounty there are several measures in place to prevent huge armies, for example: - units die faster - units that tend to cause a lot of lag are balanced to cost more - income decays by up to 20% - there is a soft and a hard cap to income - players may not own more than 7500 minerals at a time which is roughly 3 income cycles worth of minerals - ... In a nutshell: nearly all of the maps mechanics (even the terrain) favour strategies involving fewer, but stronger units. early game units like marines&zerglins have their uses in lategame, but they will be used only very situationally. Example: Your enemy attacks you with voidrays. There are several viable options: You consider mass marines, some thors or several vikings. If you spent all of your available minerals on any of those units you will succeed, BUT if you use marines you will probably block allied units from moving and your opponent will get more extra bounty minerals for the marines (because they are a lower tier unit). Mass Vikings would probably be the best idea here, but since vikings cost about 280 and a marine like 40 there will be like 7 times less units on the field! This is a complex topic and my short explanation cannot by far cover all aspects. I suggest you play the map for yourself and see how things work out.

I'm wondering what did you do to reduce lag? more units means more lag
