Was playing the Oregon trail game for DOS the other day, and decided that it'd be fun to try to recreate in starcraft2. this is my first map, and i've been taking it pretty slow, getting to learn the editor.
The basic idea is you have a party, buy supplies, and then navigate the trail to the end while the random events and environment just beat the crap out of you.
There will be a lot of places where players can make decisions that affect the outcome, so it won't be totally random. It will be an 8 player game, not really set as coop or competitive, but you will have options to screw or help other players, e.g. killing a guide so that others cannot use the short cut after you, etc.
anyway, here's a crappy youtube video I shot. I really suck at getting videos to compress nicely. Every time i figure it out I change OSs and forget how I had everything set up.
