    I don't believe Blizz should encourage money maps by creating an "official" one, but I do believe that mappers should be able to build their money maps if they really want to.

    Mappers will deffinately be able to make them, sure... but I imagine the ladder system will be more like Warcraft III, where custom maps are seperated. Either way, if they never find a home in Starcraft II I wouldn't shed a tear, they basically ruin the entire game for "OMG NO RUSH 30 MIN GUYS!!! MASSIVE ARMY NO MICRO GOGOGO ATTACK COMMAND!!!"

    that's just.. retarded... Learn to play, learn to manage your resources, etc. Don't fall back on stupid crap like that... It's funny when you join those games and just rush, so much crying.

    Yes it is.

    I have never seen a game that was no rush for 30 minutes. They are always 10 or 15.

    The only money map I play anymore, is BigGameHunters.

    It isn't a super money map, you don't get thousands of resources every minute. High thousands anyway. There are only two geysers at your main, so if you want more, you have to expand.

    Other money maps have 6 geysers for every main, With the minerals touching the start building. (How they do that, idk). That is way too much cash, good players pump and spend. I have absolutely no idea what to do, with all the mins and gas rolling in, in a fastest map. Impatient much?

    I like medium money maps, with 8 to 12 minerals in your main. And a lot of places to expand to. Lost Temple, Python, and Hunters are my favorite maps.

    "Money-maps" are for lazy players who don't have the tactical wherewithal to expand and capitalize on new resources. They want to be able to huddle up in their little isolated corner of the map, but still be filthy rich so they can afford to drop 15,000 minerals on photon cannons to wall their base and feel that numb tingle that comes with a false sense of security.

    I've never seriously played any Starcraft map such as "microprison" or "fastest possible map". The only map I take seriously is Big Game Hunters, because you CAN stay in your base if you want, but it's still more profitable to expand.

    There is no real reason to on that map, unless you want lots of gas. You main can supply your minerals fine.

    One other good reason to expand in that map, is for more room. It's hard to make a dozen and a half gateways in your tiny main.

    When I said hunters at the end of my other post, I meant the normal hunters, not the money one.

    the Hunters is great, I like Killing Fields a bit too, I believe that was the name.. havn't played in a few years. Fastest maps are just retarded, those are what i've always considered 'money' maps, but I forgot about BGH, where you're not exactly forced to move, but you can. Those are ok with me, but I still prefer limited money maps.

    money+ no money=fun

    i do agree that maps are better when played the way they are supposed to be played. But i also agree that stopping at normal maps is just as sour as not having another starcraft game. If there was only one way to play....nobody would be intirested in playing the game as much. I think that starcraft should serve a variety of different gameplay types. So i guess what im trying to say is that having two play modes would be a good idea.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

    Can somebody explain what "money maps" are?
    How do they differ from normal maps?
    Just more money or what?

    If so, I don't really care.. I can't see a reason WHY you should care.

    Money maps have lots of resources at each resource node so they involve massive armies late game.

    ROFL, the answer is above you, or are you one of those bots?

    The "make money" link in your signature sound really suspicious.

    a bot wouldn't post in the right thread, plus the post would have some funky story with WoW gold at the end.

    I really can't explain better than i just did though :p

    to answer your question.

    money maps are maps were you can't just pump units out like crazy and mass attack, instead you have to conserve and take resources from other players., other game modes are usually none money maps, and you mass units , instead of playing conservatively is all.

    I want there to be Money maps.

    I learned most of the things that I knew from money maps, I loved marine rushing people.

    I hope that someone makes the old maps that have been made again.

    Money maps... eh. I don't like them. They take a lot of strategy out of the game. Fastest maps on the other hand, they're an embarrassment to Starcraft. I'd like to not see either.
