Since there is so much heated discussion about the MBS (Multiple Building Selection) why not do this:
Create a set of triggers or a mod (that can be applied to any Pro melee map) that effectively creates an artificial MBS in SC:BW.
I'm a little rusty on the map editor (and I never was really that good), but I could see it something like this:
Current player creates factory, set switch 1.
switch 1 is set - any more factories created will be moved (to some place on the map and unusable) and a placeholder will be created, set switch 2.
switch 2 is set - current player spends X at factory copy action to all available moved factories.
if a place holder is destroyed take away a factory.
etc, etc.
This would take some really clever triggering which I could probably figure out if I hid in a cave for a month. (no offense mappers, I just suck at switches).
Anyways, The goal would be to have 1 factory,barracks, starport, hotkeyed to 1 key and build more that 1 unit at 1 button press.
If anyone can do this please do it! If everyone starts to play it they can see the pros and cons of MBS without just 'theorycrafting'.
PS- I'm not sure if this can be properly emulated with triggers or not, But it can surely be done with a mod right?
Permaphrost's hack, Zero, which eventually became Zephyr, accomplished this. So I assume that would be easier than creating a map or mod for the same purpose. It also allows more versatility, imo.

Dem0n -- it looks like it's going to be a survival-ish type game.. maybe.. at least, that's what i got from it. We'll hear more about it at E3, no doubt.
