what about money maps?

I dunno, never played them before, but it sounds fun to play, when you just want to see large battles and do nothing. Maybe they are good to relax.

 

I doubt they'll be playable in real ladder matches; if there ARE playable than it's an extremely poor decision on Blizzard's part. The editor is most probably going to be able to do such a thing though. Either way, Money Maps don't have a place in Starcraft 2; they're already the worst thing to ever happen in normal Starcraft.

 

I love money maps in sc1. It was a great way to relax from the stress and worry of regular mapes and still be able to play sc.

I dont play regular maps that much because I just dont find them fun. You're limited in effective strategies, and having to constantly micro everything doesnt allow you to just sit back and watch the battle playout.

 

Actually, I found money maps to be annoying and fun at the same time. It's annoying because you can't do a lot of the things you can do on normal maps, but it's fun because you can concentrate more on the units and the actual battles rather than resource management.

 

fastest or low money?

i was just wondering what do think is better fastest or low money maps and why you think so...
i personaly like low money maps they allow for more stratagey and not just massing units.

if this is a repeat thread you have the right to smack me and shun me lol..

 

Low money. Fastetst consist of only one part of the game: Macro.
Low money is: 3 things:
APM (Macro/Micro)
Strategy
Tactics

Tactics is actions happening in a short time, like being able to fell when to drop etc. or use a mistake of an enemy to atch him ungaurd.
Strategy is long-time-plan.
APM (micro/macro) is how fast you fingers are.

SOme look at the low money aspects a bit different (like saying macro also is strategy), but I like this way. Epsecially because strategy/tactics is known from chess, and somebody compared starcraft to chess so...

Low Money Maps are much better.

 

why don't we just call them normal maps

normal maps consists of strategy and a lot of micro

while money maps rely on macro and turtle

so if i want an exciting game and a game where my mind and hands constantly work, id say normal maps

Doesn't include a poll but I'd still call this a duplicate thread.

 

low money/normal maps
require actual skill instead of how fast u can build units
I hate money maps and people who think there good when they play on them.

 

Low money maps are much more fun.

 

Money maps are the 'fun' maps, where you can basically screw around with what you'd like, like doing nuke rushes, archon rushes, stuff you can't do in a normal game. But normal games are the ones that really take skill, so I go with normal maps.

 

I prefer money maps because since you have so much money you have so many different options to work with, and if someone comes at you with like 40 BC's, that's something you've never faced before and will be a challenge.

 

lol, im one of those lazy weak-@ss punks lol so its the fast lane

 

the terms are disturbing

why not just normal maps and money maps?

 

Fastest is just..."boring" to me. I mean, it's not about anything but "Who can Macro the most in the first 5 minutes". Meh.

 

haha i agree, but i think they both require their own skills set, voted for fastest cuz ive played it more than low money, but truly just depends on my mood

 

Low money is just able to go so much more in-depth compared to fastest.

 

Actually, that happens in most games played on BGH.
I played money maps when I was a noob and it was pretty much all BGH or UMS on Bnet.
Now a days I much prefer real maps for all the same reasons as above (or below depending on your settings).

 

I started on low money and then got addicted to fastest and then I realized fastest is lame because of all the mins--So now I play both. Normal maps have been waaay more funner than other maps :]

 

Definitely Low $, Because it was get you the skills you need for sc, as said before fastest is pretty much macro, low $ gives you the ability to macro/micro and requires some actual thinking
