I am going to ask around on the discord and see if there is any interest, thank you for the idea.
As for your description, its close but not quite right. However, after looking at the Knalle Micro map. All I'd really need is the ability to build a base on a regular portion of the map, while playing the challenges. To practice macroing and build orders while fighting.
First I want to give some food for thought: Blizzard has stopped all development of the game, if you decided to do this your work would never be outdated. It will be the practice map that EVERYONE uses, until the end of time. I'll also totally pay you like 50 bucks on fiver.
I have no idea how to make a map, I have no idea how long it takes to make a good map so please delete this if this post is insulting.
What I do know is that all the practice maps on SC2 are long outdated and that myself and many other players would like an avenue to practice our micro and mechanics with todays units against something that isn't an AI.
These are my ideas for the map - (if anyone is interested and so map makers can get an idea of the time requirements it might meet)
I'd like it to have 2 optional modes, one where you have static buildings that produce units that explode-on-spawn and an SCV that you constantly have make depots, and upgrades etc etc. On a seperate part of the map there is a series of micro challenges, constantly going. Reaper vs 4 lings. then 10 marines vs 4 roaches, or w/e. Just something to keep your brain and eyes occupied and your fingers going through the motions of running a base in the mid game.
The second mode has the same micro challenges, but instead of the static buildings you have a normal base, on a normal part of the map. The idea is to practice build orders and building an economy and managing supply and expanding and blah blah, all while doing those ever increasing micro challenges.
Thoughts on the challenges: the micro is never going to be as intensive as pvp, thats ok. The fights just need to scale in size and number of types of units allowed to the player, to give players the practice adding units to different hotkeys. so maybe after a few small scale rounds you now have vikings vs colossus, or now you ravens to use, etc etc. Give a few seconds at the beginning of each round to add units to hot keys, and then it goes. The macro all continues behind it.
Also I NEED it to have a terran pov, please and thank you, other races optional(sorry P and Z).
I'd personally spend many hours on this map developing my mechanics and muscle memory, and would pay (on fiver) to a map developer willing to help me and the part of the community who yearns for training. Future generations of SC2 gamers would use the map too.
I would ofc be available to give feedback, test, anything you needed that a normie can handle.

You are the first person to show any interest at all, my friend.
