Hello Leartes, I played Diplomacy in wc3 and want to bring that scene to starcraft 2. Ive got my own map going on, and i need help testing. Perhaps we can work together on eachothers maps?
I think that space terrain is doable, you just need to make the units really small. I think a 65% reduction in size across the board should do it. (with some buildings at 75 if needed) One system you could do is just make it so that a planets space defenses and space battles are just fighting to be allowed entry into a planet. There are planet symbols in the space map, and if you manage to destroy a planets space defenses (fleets, orbital defense systems, ect), you can place units onto that planet. The planets could each be a sizable chunk of land on the side of the space map, and anyone who invades one would just get their invasion units into one of two or three drop points.
So basically, half the map is a space map, with planet symbols scattered around it, and the other half of the map are the actual planets. (or a 1/3:2/3 ratio, w.e you want)
Im sure they can be found and used. In fact, you could probably make custom decals from flags and just place them on the flags. Shouldnt be too hard if you know your way around photoshop and the import editor. And if you need any help testing just add me in game, DocM.811
This game looks fantastic. Its obvious you know a lot about the editor. Im still iffy on the way that planet terrains will work, but both ideas that you have suggested sound reasonable. also, if you need any help on anything let me know. Im happy to offer the services of myself and those of my team at clan LSI!
Im from Clan LSI and we are a map making clan dedicated to diplomacy maps. Im sure if you brought your ideas to our forums we could help you out. Several of us are working on diplomacy maps already.
Queens gambit your project looks interesting, if you joined us im sure we could help you out with whatever your struggling with.
And Keyeszx, we are always ready to help teach whatever we know about the editor.

I wouldnt mind doing whatever terrain you want.

James7 did that flag thing in his World War 2 map.
