I feel sort of silly posting this, but how did you get the lightning effect on the units affected by the special abilities (I.E. Psionic Disturbance). I've gone through it over several times now trying to figure out how it works, and the closest thing I could find is:
In the previewer this seems to be the correct model. However, when I try to switch it to another model to check it, it simply doesn't display any effect.
The map concept itself is quite interesting. That being said, the reason I started poking around with the special effects of the abilities is because I felt you overused the particular special effect you chose. Most of the special abilities seem to look the same so I was curious as to what other models Galaxy Editor innately offers.
When I played against Behemoth, I found the micro terribly lacking. I built a few Mutalisks, and he countered with Phoenixes, but he never really tried to engage very well. Afterwards, when I was harassing his base, he moved his sentries / stalkers / void rays to defend. It wasn't hard at all to drag the Void Rays away, to where I could easily mop them up. And once Mutalisk numbers sufficiently outweighed Phoenixes, his Phoenixes just spread out and ran whenever my Mutalisks approach.
Also, burrowed Roaches with a little bit of timing completely wrecked his base. When Brood Lords approached, he didn't try to focus on the Brood Lords either.
I think the only part of micro that was at all impressive was the use of Force Fields. However, I found it amusing that it surrounded my Ultralisks with Force Fields. That's not micro, that's a waste of energy. Similarly, it seemed to enjoy forcefielding my choke to split up my army, when I only had 4 Zerglings and was relying on Spine Crawlers.
I realize it's not ready, but as a player who barely fought his way into Diamond near the end of the beta, I don't think it has good micro or macro right now.
