Well...

I was making this map for me and my friends to LAN on but it turned out pretty good. So here is the public beta.

Breaking Point is a wave defense mod I cooked up a few weeks ago. We tested it and I rebuilt it to make it better and so on. There are 3 versions. A 1 player version (1)Breaking Point. A 2 player version (2)Breaking Point. And of course a 4 player version (4)Breaking Point.

When you run the map online make sure all the human players are on the defender team. Close all the slots on the Unused team.

To install just copy it into Starcraft/Maps/BroodWar and run the game.

What I'm looking for is feedback on difficulty. Mainly how many resources it takes to beat each round.

When you press PrintScreen in-game it saves a screenshot as a .pcx file in your Starcraft root directory (usually X:\Program Files\Starcraft\screenshot.pcx). If you have an image viewing program on your computer that can open pcx files, you can probably save it into a different format.

Also, will download and try. Note however that I'm a very n00b Starcraft player so unless I say it's too easy, I won't be much help. If I do say it's too easy, though... you's in trouble!

EDIT: Okay, proof that I'm a n00b. I must try the two or four player variants however. Here's a rundown of my complete and utter failure:

Okay, well... I'm offended! Also... don't be the unlucky six!

Well, my n00b defense seems to have worked very well... on level one.

Ahh crap, looks like half the zerg aren't interested in attacking. Gotta get rid of them!

That's right, DIE!

Well, shit. They's tougher than I thought! I've run out of minerals and they aren't attacking.

And that, friends... is my utter and dismal failure.

Now, my only question is... did you intend for roughly half the zerg to wait for me to go get them? Since my defenses were mostly stationary and the zerg were mostly stationary... stalemate!

I'm going to have to try the four player one some time soon. I know I don't have any useful criteria... but at least y'all have some screenshots to go by!

Luckily I have Halo Wars now. Too bad there is no PC following like there was Star Craft so new maps can come out :|

Lol. Your supposed to build your defenses on the bottom section. There is a large wall with 3 openings.

I'll need to clarify that in the opening cinematic.

Please do. However, it couldn't hurt to send them all towards the player's base anyways so the player has the option of how much of the map they wish to defend.

In any case, I've already mentioned my total lack of skill with Starcraft; I just wanted to throw in some screenshots.

Star craft script isn't as flexible as I would like.
