Xenosteel's Super Defenders
What's Xenosteel's Super Defenders?
- It's a Base Defense map. Build and defend against the zerg swarms.
- Default Starcraft 2 units and buildings, but they're 4x times stronger!
- Difficulty: Beginners to Experts
- 1-6 Players
- Maximum unit supply automatically adjusts to number of players. You can play solo or with friends without problems!
- A.I Computer Players supported
Beginners will like:
- 4x stronger units means you can really learn and test the powers of each unit in the game. Think of each unit you build as a hero!
- There's sufficient time at the beginning to build and gather. No need to rush
- All weapons fire 4x faster. Imagine the meat cleaving action your Ultralisk could do!!
Intermediates / Experts will like:
- Hard mode. Enough said.
- Leaderboards show the number of kills each player did and other statistics, and at the end of the game there's a "For bragging" screen that shows: Number of Players, Kills, Wave No,
and Skipped Time. Think its too easy? Then use the next wave (skip) command "-n" or "-next". Each time you do this, the remaining time of the current wave gets added to a special score "Skipped Time". Let's see which one of you can skip the most and live long enough to tell his tale!You CAN skip even the first 8:00 minutes before the 1st wave. And any extra time will be added to Skipped Time :)You can only skip if the enemy units are less than 400. So don't worry, 10 year olds online won't be able to spam "-n" and blow your PC up with 50,000 units on screen!
v3.5 is out

About the Author
Hello there! I've been working on Blizzard's map editors ever since the days of Warcraft 2. Good times. I'm not nearly as great as the popular map authors who spend stellar amounts of effort and time to deliver, but I'm probably as addicted as they are. I wish I had the time to do that stuff :(
I hope you enjoy the map. Please post any feedback, bugs, suggestions, etc... And let me know if you enjoyed playing it. It'll encourage me to do many other maps I have in mind :)
Also, Starcraft 2 is the first game where I was encouraged to submit my maps to the online community. Maps for the earlier games were only played in my LAN setup.
Cheers!
Before Commenting
Do you hate my map?
Short story short: I don't really enjoy it myself. But, it became popular, and people wanted more. So, I kept up to their expectation and allowed them to enjoy it better. If you're still going to say "mean" things without any kind of consideration nor constructive feedback, then know that I'm too kind and too old to engage in a "mean" talk war. And know that it does hurt my feelings. There, I hope that will make you feel better.

Thank you for playing my map! I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay.
To be honest, I mostly focused on the gameplay and didn't pay much attention to the decoration, although I like to decorate and did some few neat things like the water and the bridge, but I see what you mean.. It definitely can look much nicer :) And its very easy to do, so I'll start playing around and see how to spice it up a bit.
As for difficulty, its actually as intended. I completely understand when you say it is easy, but thats how I want it. Besides, if you want to start early you can still use the "-n" command even at the first minutes before the game starts! Not just at the actual waves themselves (I guess I should've mentioned that)
Anyway thank you very much for your feedback! I hope you look forward for my future works :)
Very well. I like map gameplay. It reminded me the good times of first Starcraft. There were many Base Defending maps in Sc1. But it is too easy imho. Of course player can type "-n", but my suggestion it to make map more hardcore. Let it throws down a challenge to the player! Lauch first vawes in 2-3 minutes after game start. It will force the player to develop himself already in the conditions of constant attacks. And few words about landscape. What are two empty grey fields at upper left and upper right of maps?Let add some decorations to map!? Make it more stylish. Mb add some cave entry at place where zergs come from? Few fishes into water, few trees somewhere at bottom of map etc...
But anyway it is nice map. Thank you.

Wooops! ... I didn't know how things worked here, I thought people would check the map on the Battle.net published maps, didn't know I had to upload them.
I uploaded the map. Please try it and let me know how it turns out! Any feedback whatsoever is good enough for me and I'll appreciate it greatly, because I still need to figure out what to do for the future maps.
Feel free to publish it if you're on a US server.. Sadly I'm on the EU servers :( as you may have already guessed.
Does not appear to be a file :)
