“NEW QUESTION
9) Is the new StarCraft II map editor able to make our own 4th race by combining 3 races different looking and ability etc. together? even more combining with some new units from the editor? (battle.net) -cS)beta

Yes, custom races are fully supported, including the ability to choose them from the game lobby while playing melee maps, as long as the mod defining the race is loaded.”

Thats the question.
Tbh I loved scumedit. tried my hand at the wc3 editor but did my head in plus I wasn’t in love with the game.
The new editor will be even more complex but im sure the community will help each other and the scripting language is learnable, something I hope to get around to

Did you say custom races? Oh man that ownz. Though I wonder how difficult it will be to understand the new data editing system. What has been said already sounds confusing!

Theres a new question just been anounced, it states that we can now create custom races and these will be selected for melee maps!
A very interesting statement.

I’d definitely try my hand at making some custom maps for SC2 with the first one I had so much trouble working with triggers etc, because I wasn’t a programmer.

With Blizzard’s focus on eSports and this really rich map editor I see SC2 living longer then the original…

Questions 7 and 8 are pretty much redundant… we already could od that in WC3 and they already said SC2 could do more.

I think other development teams needs to learn from blizzard, because if single player and multiplayer rocks, and the mapmaking is very important to make games live longer, we users can make a hole new world in the game. look at half life, it become counterstrike because an guy had an better idea and a strong will to code it. Today with starcraft 2 we only needs a good idea, because the map editor will be so fucking awesome.

This is what I ment, we can develop other games in this games, like dota, race games, tower defenses, this is why the RTS games blizzard make lives so much longer.

i just speaks in my hat right now, but I hope you got my point.

Sounds like the UMS community will be able to create some very interesting maps of pretty much ANY type.
