Well, I know how to mineral stack for PC, but if you are mac, good luck trying to find a program to do it. It's not something you can do with the default editor, you need a hacked version. Just do some google searches, you might find *something*.

The what?? Stack minerals? What would you want to do that for? Can't you just increase the value of a mineral patch (more resources from one patch)? (yes, you can do that.. with the Mac version at least)
Or is this about something else entirely?

Some maps have 10+ mineral patches in the same place, meaning that multiple workers can mine a single 'patch' much faster.

Stacking is also what allows you to put a mineral patch directly beside the Command Centre (or equivalent) meaning that the SCVs don't have to move. Just about any fast map uses this principle.

Well it's also stacking minerals on top of each other. *shrugs*

I recently logged into b.net and played a few SC games.... and I was really dissappointed at the maps out there these days. Mineral stacking, minerals next the command center, whatever. They all suck.

I don't like you either.

Money maps, apart from an occassional strategy-less game, are lame.

actually, money maps are fun and good at training multitasking.. nothing like having to mass produce marines from 16 barracks while upgrading, teching, scouting, etc. recently I've been playing quite a bit of fastest maps.

True, that.
Money maps can be annoying, but they're usually easy to win with as most players won't build the sheer infrastructure that's possible if you utilize your resources.

1. You need a program, such as emerald.
2. Download that program from here. http://www.scindex.com
2. >>A. Click on downloads.
3.Open up the program and click minerals and keep clicking.
4. Happy?
5. They have lots of Windows programs you shouldn't have a problem. And for the most part their clean.

I find money maps so mindlessly easy it's almost entertaining. Actually, the real fun comes from the pure strategy of it all- it's essentially StarCraft stripped down to pure war. It's also amazing how easily a person with working knowledge of the units with special spells (defilers, Sci Vessels, Arbiters) can dominate these maps, as well.

I think that you don't see many love stories in EV simply because the engine isn't quite geared towards that. What are you going to do, keep meeting your significant other in a bar (or, with Nova, the Outfitter, Shipyard, or Trade Center) and have questions like "Will you go out on a date with me?" | Yes/No | "Great, pick me up on <DST> in a month and we'll have dinner."?

They have the potential, but most of the time I see people just sending thousands of marines/zerglings/whatever at each other.

Yes. Well............ thats all fine a dandy. but is there a way to do this with out downloding anything? my putter wont let emerald work, because it was a realy good anti-v. and it reads emerals as a vires. so thats the mean problem. FYI. i need to know the passwerd to turn it off, but my mom has that.

Sure, write it yourself. If your firewall won't let you download something, there's probably a good reason.

I disagree. I think you get a much better sense of multitasking if you actually have to get certain unit types at a certain rate and only use a certain amount of minerals. I fail to see how making a bunch of the same units from the same buildings is "multitasking"... if pressing "M" is somehow split into many tasks, please let me know. Money maps give people a false sense of skill... any idiot can bunker up and mass produce huge powerful uber-upgraded units with unlimited funds... but the REAL game takes a little more than just sitting back in your one command center with 10,000 mineral patches directly surrounding you giving you thousands of minerals per second. "Expanding" is an important aspect of the game... the early money maps, like Big Game Hunters, still at least forced people to expand to increase the rate of mineral gathering. These new maps, you don't need to do that... you can just sit in your base the whole game with stacked mineral patches spawning directly next to your center and you can make all the big bad buildings and units that you want. That is NOT the purpose of the game. Sorry.

I've have liked theose mapes because of the resources. on all the maps then don't, I end with about 300 mineral left or less, and I mined every mineral patch I can to dust. on the UED raid on the protoss, I played it several times, and each time i have a whole wopping 47 crstal by the time a have anything like a attack force, and a few defence units, and mined out all the mineral but that held by the toss. If i faIld it becouse i spend 5 to mucth here or there and my only attack failed from it. is this statagy? no.
I not saying that a money map is the path to take though. i would say that there needs to be maps between the two, not just maps with a few here than there, and others money all over. All i whant is one that has a good amount on resourcesm or i will always be left to attacking with low units, and never building anything highter then a sci vessal or two.
Personally, I hate fastest maps. It usually requires hardly any skill to win. Even if you use some form of "skill", you can't be considered an expert. There's a limit to how much skill you can have when there's 50+ mineral patches stacked right next to your main building with 50 000 minerals each. Anyway, I just think any South Korean pro would laugh if someone thought they were "good" when they win at fastest.
