DESCRIPTION

• 2-9 Players
  
• Expected duration: 15 minutes

WGX Nagrand is a custom map designed around optimal group planning, metagame countering and micro management skills, such big words for a simple yet very competitive medium-sized army confrontation mod.

You will need to create your army first - given a set amount of resources, points to spend on different specializations, and access to any fully upgraded unit of your favourite race, the goal is to form a balanced "arena team" capable of facing anything your round opponents might throw at you.

When you are ready, confirm your setup and the internal matchmaking queue will pit you against random opponents in a series of quick 1v1 battles. You can play defensively and mix unit types to be prepared for everything, be aggressive with fast units or caster support, directly counter predictable strategies... or simply confuse your opponents with any unconventional tactic you come up with. Think you can dominate the ladder?

CURRENT FEATURES

• 6 Arenas
  Different setting, same objective. Fast paced 1v1 action, with downtimes minimized thanks to "Last Build" repicks (hotkeys are saved as well) and the "Surrender" concede function.
  
  
• Specializations
  You can tweak your army further with special "talents", ranging from raw resources availability to techology, starting casters' mana or weapon/armor researches.
  
  
• Personal Rating
  Your ELO-like rating is saved and imported every time you play. Important values on the .sc2bank savefile are protected by anti-cheating algorhytms and a pseudo-banlist keeps the game clean from annoying people.
  
  
• Shared Rankings
  This is the first map ever to implement a fully working server-wide Top100 hall of fame, spread and synchronized by players themselves over Battle.net.
  
  
• Clan/Team Support
  If you are playing with a group of friends you can team up with them, share a 5-letters tag and only fight real opponents by avoiding each other in the queue.
  
  
• Smart Matchmaking
  The complex yet efficient queue system willl try and get different opponents each time, to prevent direct countering. Spectator Mode allowed.
  
  
• XP Levelling
  You gain experience and levels while you play. This means a greater impact when there's to vote on anything, like general rules, early round closures or KICKS.
  
  
• Custom UI
  No chat commands, everything is done through dialogs and a comfortable side menu. Quick tutorials show new players everything there's to know about the map.
