    posted a message on [RELEASE] Hydra Rancher II - Final (screens) - check version!

    IMPORTANT - Please check you are playing the correct map. When I began promoting the beta people have obviously started playing the WRONG version, an unfinished attempt by someone else which has suddenly gained bnet popularity. The other version, titled "Hydra ranche" doesn't work properly! The one you want, now promoted to a full release, is titled "Hydra Rancher II" and has been produced to a professional standard.

    FEATURES

    Hydralisks spawn every 3 seconds.

    Unlimited upgrades (armour and attack) as well as range.

    Build Brood War units at your command centre

    Build special Zerg Pets (Lurker, Leviathan & Super Hydralisk)

    Large Arena in centre for battles

    Strategic terrain with watch towers and gold expos

    2v2v2v2, 2v2, 1v1v1v1 and 1v1 modes.

    If we get some games goin we can put this map's popularity above the broken version that's there just now.

    posted a message on [Beta Release] Hydra Rancher II

    Hey folks,

    I've seen a lot of requests for this map to be remade in 3D over the last year. It was also one of my favourite UMS maps for the original Starcraft! So as the saying goes if you want something done do it yourself. I actually made a version for this in WC3 but never polished it enough to release it widely. But I've been planning this version ever since. The new SC2 editor is a lot more complex and difficult to get to grips with but it was worth it! The beta version is now up on Battlenet and playable in Europe.

    Please give it a blast and spread the word. I'm still balancing it and fixing bugs, so please come back to me with any feedback you can, and please send me replays to [email protected]

    There is another attempt someone made but mine is named Hydra Rancher II v1.0 Beta. Oh yea, as you probably know, Battlenet's Lobby system sucks. If you want a specific type of matchup (2v2v2v2 is default but you also have 2v2, 1v1v1v1 and 1v1) you need to select it from the mode dropdown. You also can't make a 1v1v1v1 or 1v1 game from a party or it messes up placement. You need to make the game then invite players once you've set the mode.

    I've only played this against my bro as I don't really know anyone on Battlenet. So if you want to add me my character ID is 881. I'd be glad to give you a match!

    Enjoy!
