octopus 2 by kellym0.png

Behold, the 8 player classic ''Octopus'' from the starcraft 1 ''Brood War'' Expansion, ''Octopus 2'' Free-Handed by me, Kellym0. Comprised of 10 custom models and 47 custom textures, ranging from plants, rocks and bridges to terrain tiles and cliffs, inspired by a mixture of shakuras depicted in starcraft 1 as a blue desert and shakuras depicted in starcraft 2 as an emerald city, with an amount of my own imagination thrown into it in the form of an oasis inspired by the Dahlgur Oasis from diablo 3, an attempt to remain loyal and canon to the original lore and mythology of the protoss home world, with some creative liberty taken on my behalf.

Uploaded here so others may have the custom textures I have created, in case they wish to do similar terrain work, or wish to make a map similar to this one, whether you want to make your own brand new map, or wish to alter this one, you are free to download and open the map and take any models or textures you wish, under the condition you credit the original creators of said resources in your projects.

Special thanks to the sc2 mapster community for helping with various things.

to play online with others, simply host in the arcade section and invite your friends as you would any other map, this download is specifically for modders and their creative needs or curiosities.
