Micro Management Trainer

A one on one melee-condition practice map.

-Build up 100 food worth of units (fast build enabled), then hit the lever to announce you are ready. When both players are ready, you enter the battlefield, where you then fight to the last man. Whoever wins the match gets 1 match point and a new round will then begin.

-The purpose of this map is to allow players to practice micro-managing large armies under melee-style conditions quickly and easily, with a little competition. Keep going until you get bored. This map works with AI.

Changes made:
-A time limit has now been installed. Matches will last no longer then 5 minutes. This si so players cannot extend the length of the match endlessly by burrowing crypt fiends or hiding flying units in out of reach areas. Once the time limit expires, whoever has the most units remaining wins the round.

-Trees now regrow after every round, so units like the Keeper of the Grove or Mountain Giants who use trees for their attacks will always have them available at the start of the next round.

-The game now automatically ends when one player quits out.

This map was originally made for me and a friend to practice melee battles. This is posted only in case someone else out there has a use for it. Its purely a for-fun map only. There is no objective. Play until you get bored.

I made this for use between me and a friend of mine, but here it is in case anyone else needs practice managing large armies in normal melee combat.

EDIT: Keep in mind some of the enemy creep units have devour. If all your units are gone and the match doesnt seem to be ending, then that probably means one is still being digested in an enemy stomach and it waiting to die. Also, some units may burrow and have the same effect. Just wait for them to resurface or blast'em with area effect spells. If you play against the AI, I replaced AI heroes with high level creeps instead because of triggering. The AI may not be too challanging, as this map is meant for player vs player, but its there for those who want to solo. Remember you can always handicap yourself by building less then the 100 food max limit.

one thing, if you can't make a good minimap picture that is kind of related to the map (other than the name) dont add one, it'll reduce the map size

I was looking for something like this. It is simple yet so much fun. I would love to see even more freedom is this or maybe another map. More races/units(custom races/units?), setting your own food cap, other arenas. The ability to mix races. To have an alliance of Humans, Orcs and Night Elves against the Burning Legion. Just for those creative ideas people will come up to.
Great map, I really hope you will make another one :D
