So it's been a while since I updated Hex'd. It's been around for almost a year now. I've had time to polish it up pretty neatly. Although that's just my opinion, that's why I'm posting here. I hereby humbly request your feedback.

Pardon for the harsh judgement, I suppose I was in a foul mood back then. I just watched the replay and it seems I was mistaken about many things I wrote. It did expand as much as I did myself. It also built Vikings to counter my air units, but seemed to be supply capped at that point so it couldn't get enough of them.
I just tried another game on insane, PvZ. It was much better than the first game I played. The constant mutalisk harassment was quite unnerving, although sometimes they just flew over my defenses without a care. This game the AI felt much more agressive, and it was quite close there for a while until I got a few colossi (he went very zergling heavy and didn't have anything against the colossi).
A machinima I've long been looking forward to, and I was not disappointed when it was published today. A good way to spend 26 minutes of the evening. Highly recommend it.

I did an insane PvT on Caverns. The AI felt much easier than Blizz' insane AI. It didn't attack me once. It only tried to harass by sending one hellion at my main entrance pretty late and I already had several stalkers to deal with it. A bit later it sent an uncloaked banshee straight over my base that died before it reached my workers. After that I kept expanding and building up my army, for I fancied practicing my macro as I hadn't played a melee game in a few weeks. It hadn't attacked by the time I was maxed, and then I went to him. He only had one expansion by that time, but it was loaded with well over a dozen siege tanks, so I had to fall back. :p I built some Carriers in place of the units lost to the shelling, and wiped him out without any further losses.
Overall it was very dull. Perhaps it was just because it went a tank heavy strategy though? Does it do that, use different strategies, like Blizz' AIs?
When the map was originally created (the actual file) is probably very important.
What do you base that assumption on? I can't imagine how it would make a difference.
All my maps are from April last year and I've never experienced these problems. I'm not using banks though. A ton of things happen on initialization.
I've only played one map where I recognize this phenomenon. That'd be Nexus Wars. :P Happened all the time back when I was playing it. As far a I know, that map didn't use banks.
I'm not trying to make rules for everyone else. I tried watching videos that were posted, and when it turned out they were of so low quality I couldn't tell what was going on, I came here and made this post.
I don't understand why people are arguing with me.
This is a forum. You are posting your opinion. What did you expect would happen?
Sure, who likes low-quality videos? It is important to realise that not everybody have new computers. But can we really be so selfish so as not to check out something that another person spent possibly several hours on making for our sakes, when it only takes a minute of our time? We're a community! We all share a passion for custom games in Starcraft 2. We should encourage eachother and give constructive criticism, not rant about how they should stop making videos.
On another note, what is the minimum resolution for Starcraft 2? 1024x768? Already that would make an HD video on Youtube. It would seem that if people put up lower resolution videos than that, then there's a lack of knowledge regarding video editing, rather than a lack of hardware.
Are you trolling us by complaining that your map is popular? It feels like every time I come to these forums somebody complains about their maps not being popular.

I remember Blizzard saying something similar when they spoke about their custom maps. It must be true!

Good luck with further development.

Aah! I love these kind of maps! I'm so going to start on one now.

Could've mentioned which battle net it was up on. Just wasted 2 minutes checking. :<
