Today i received the Chinese information text from angel, and i try to translateat it with my poor English at full steam. But in fact, it is not a troubled thing for players speaking in English, because the map display in English and Chinese, it's just that only sc1.08b Supports CHIPS. So i will pass over the same thing in most ds's maps.

Now, let 's talk about the map.

• Love story about the map:
  
  

• What's new?
  

• How to be good at it?
  

• Some replays from Chinese master dsa player.
  

• Map download:

Good luck! Hope you will love it.

2. Keep your original post organized and informative.
A simple mish-mosh of unorganized information can be confusing. The more organized your post looks, the better your production will look. Include some basic information about your map(s). What makes your map so special? We'd like to know before trying it out!

Your post doesn't tell me anything about the map, except that it's not an "official edition," and I don't even know what that means (a beta version?). Is the map based on Desert Strike?

Things you could add to your post:

• Genre/Category (i.e., Defense, Bound, Arena, etc.)
  
• Screenshots
  
• How to play
  
• New features (if based on an existing game)

It sounds like English isn't your first language, so I apologize if there's a language barrier. I just want to know more about the map.

I haven't played the map but looked at it and the triggers in the editor; it's significantly different to other DS maps with very different gameplay mechanics (seems you need both gas and minerals to build stuff, there's a concept of a 'bank', destroying enemy buildings unlocks additional stuff for you to use etc).

Thank you for your consideration.
And now i am translating the datas of the map into English from Chinese. I hadn't use English for several years, so i am so sorry i can't afford English datas at soon and need some days. And i will add my post.
In addition, the official edition (version?) is used in Chinese so that it's language need to become English in SC 1.61 automatically as the test (beta?) version Z89.
Thank you again.

Yes, it needs both gas and minerals unlesss you choose the mode without gas which is called "No gas" in mode menu. And by the way, your map is so good.

It looks interesting from what I have read. I will play it when you finish translating. Also, can you show us some screen shots of the map in action?

I hope you will love it which can become many ds editiones in the world or in your dream from choosing modes in start. It's the most popularest in China as a perfect one, so I suggest anyone who loves ds should try to play it one time at least. Maybe It can change your mind about ds from now on and beyond your hope and thought. I have some trouble in giving English introduction.

What does the pylon that says "Chatting" do?

Any updates on this?

The Chatting means all players can see the words inputed in start's screen without any menu text. It is used to make players can talk each other before game start so that you can ask other player which mode wanna choose.

Any updates on this?

Some units from the building which has character "U." need update. There are just several units. For example Zerg Queen, Zerg Defiler, Terran Battlecruiser, Terran Science Vessel, Terran Vulture(Need BE), Protoss Shuttle, Protoss Arbiter and so on. I guess Lost_Angel will issue official version in English in a week and he (or she) will also give detailed introduction. In fact, we also can't understand dsa well as Chinese players. And where do you play sc? I can play in ICCUP.

I play on iCCup as well as UsEast. Thank you for the detailed reply!
