Very fun, I prefer this to troll tribes as the troll tribe maps have that poorly-done feel about them and generally run like crap, and the terrain itself is awful. Kobold Tribes just has a better flow and feel about it.
The map is very easy to understand, when I first played it I pretty much figured it out in the first half of the game and then in the rest of the games it was pretty easy. Yes, there are idiots on b.net, and they have a huge voice and population, but I doubt despite that they will get in your way. Idiots will still play the map even if they struggle to learn it even after 10 games. I made Empire Builder, which has practically no help for players yet still has a 5/5 rating and high popularity, and there are big differences in learning curve between the two games. I would say don't worry about the idiots, but the problem here is that this is a 5v5 team game where if one team has a bunch of idiots and the other does not, it's game over... but then isn't that how people win games? Be less stupid?
I don't see the market being worth much money tbh.
Maps are going to have to be very cheap to sell, Blizzard are going to take a significant cut, and there simply won't be many buyers. And let's not forget, there will be plenty of free and good alternatives to maps that are non-free that will also help bring down sales.
If you played WC3, you'll know about the site epicwar.com.
It was a no-holds-barred map dump. You could upload any map on there, it doesn't matter whether it was an high-quality complete map... or a total joke where someone basically opened up war3editor, clicked new, clicked OK, saved what appeared and uploaded it to epicwar. It was purely a map dump, no forum or anything else existed with it, and comments were soon disabled due to traffic...
This website differed to other map-making websites where they checked the quality of a map first - it had to pass the most basic of things before it could be truly approved.
Unfortunately, the maps section is reminding me so much of epicwar, now don't get me wrong, some of the maps appearing are hilarious in their own way but really shouldn't be here, lol.
It's vladsmap, made by Vlad the Impaler. Goals of the map? No one can know for sure, but let's look at the description.
"ok look you just live ok so be sure to make a camp."
Chillout vlad, no need to be so defensive!
I think it's supposed to be a map for the cortex RP mod, and it's by CRAZYWARPIG, who's actually pretty crazy from what I can tell.
I opened the map up and found it really funny, so I guess it achieved something at least, it just shouldn't be on a mapping site, maybe damnlol.com? You've just gotta open it up for yourself and see the "wiered grouths".
Also, it does not even function as a cortex RP map...
infect or die.......
It sends shivers down my spine. There's not even a map uploaded... unfortunately.
From the description, all I can tell is "it is just about infecting."
I hope that you take away from this amazing post all that you can to protect yourself from wiered grouths and Vlad the Impaler, and that you leave more enlightened than Tibetan monks.

Yeah I'd rate this map 5/5.

Hey zula, have you ever considered getting some hypnotic therapy done so that you will completely forget you ever made this account?

Interesting, yeah I like the idea of a moderator saying "fuck it" one day and allowing these really weird maps on here

i'm curious why you would do that, instead of just not using it?

Let's have a look at some
Exhibit A: http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/vladsmap/
It's vladsmap, made by Vlad the Impaler. Goals of the map? No one can know for sure, but let's look at the description. "ok look you just live ok so be sure to make a camp." Chillout vlad, no need to be so defensive!
Exhibit B: http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/cortex-roleplay-death-and-rebirt/

Yeah just give all minerals to one player, set the mineral's sight radius to 0, and modify it moreso if you need to.
Also allow harvesting to be done on more than just neutral.
Though this might force the map to no longer be a true "Melee" map.

damn, having QUT in front of the name more than makes me think of QUAKE UNREAL TOURNAMENT, and so of course that brilliant UT99 map Morpheus
