Map editor this week, Mac edition Next week

I wonder if the editor will have any limitations for the purposes of beta and spoiler prevention? (i.e. leaving things out, just including the maps and units we have now while having the campaign stuff not included.)

Also, when you have an AoE ability like the, the usefulness is dimished when AoE's overlap (so long as effect is not cumulative), unless the player micros the attack to economise the AoE.

They will strip out anything that has to do with the campaign you can be sure of that.

And we will dig up that witch they miss.

If anyone wants to use the map editor to work on an interesting project, I'm trying to get one started.

The smallest AOE means a single Marauder will slow down 5 Zerglings instead of 1.

The usefulness is diminished as opposed to what it could be if they all attacked different targets, sure. But the usefulness of single-target slow is just as diminished (more, actually) when Marauders attack the same targets right now.

You're buffing them significantly.

I have a feeling this patch is going to be delayed because of this "strange" error.

Wow. Map editor and beta for Mac!!! This is gonna be an uber epic patch.

I'm personally wondering if they are going to change anything about Reaper rushes in this patch.
