I would like to thank my laptop for this one. I've played sc since it came out. I've always wanted to own a laptop, who hasn't. I also always wanted to make a big sc map, but for some reason did not get to it until, well 10 years later when I bought a laptop from the pawn shop for $180. It was basically the same as the last computer I owned around 3 years before, and I had paid like $748 for it. This one was a laptop and $180. I took it around to all my favorite places outside, and to all my friend's places, and I used my surroundings for inspiration. I knew this was the right thing to do because I was making a map, and no map could have turned out like this from just sitting on a computer in one spot all the time. Whenever I felt like I hit the grind-stone really hard while building, I would pack-up my laptop and look for somewhere else to go, and then later on, I would find the perfect spot for inspiration and look at how well it turned out. Right after this map was done, which was about 2-3 days BEFORE sc2 came out, (haven't made any changes since and that's when I did-up '!!!ALL!!!' of the 'finishing touches', Tee hee hee) I sold my Laptop online for $180, and played Snowball Heaven over and over again on my step-bro's computer for the past 2 month's or so until feeling like I was getting torn up inside for being the only person alive for playing this map. I had to get it out.
So this map was the only thing to come out of my Laptop. It was all about making 'this one sc map' and finishing it. The older version's that I uploaded are when I was testing 8 player's with comp's (cuz I'm not back online yet I have to get a new cd key) and basically I figured were good enough to 'name' and call it done, but it kept asking for more until I finished up all the touch-up's and completed it, the final version called Snowball Heaven. I guess it was year's of not having made a big sc map, pent up, and having to wait year's before I could own a laptop and get out there and make a really truly awesome map for us sc players, that resulted in so many flukes.
The left side being the North and South American Continent's, UFO's, Hand holding lightning bolt, dude with a backwards hat, Alien head on the bottom in the minimap, a star, above the base in the bottom right on the minimap, camillion looking animal's, and just all around fun. When sc came out, and I got addicted, I knew I would always get to building my map eventually.
One thing about this map, it never seemed to get finished, so when it was it was a strange, yet awesome feeling, because it kept giving the hint of a feeling that it was finished sometimes, but eventually it really 'got full' or ate it all up, and then became untouchable. Then 2 day's later sc2 is released, and they do not even come out with the full game, just the Terran Campaign, and I think about my map and I'm like, well, Sc2 is a joke, Long Live Starcraft #ONE!! And out of all the map's to come out before sc2, mine is probably the best, closest to sc2's release date. ;D I wonder if they also knew about it and came out with sc2 early to distract people from it :)
If anybody were to ask me for my advice, I'd say, "Not too much, Not too Little!!!"
*By the way, the mineral's that are all 9013, that is partly to represent my birthday, 9-13 Sept. 13th. :D 1984*

* * P.S. EvrEbudy's*!! OMG EVERLASTING TORRENT!! I upload it, then check it the next night & it was #1 out of 13,001 Now I believe it is still the #1 Melee map by Project Value to this day, hence seeing other new maps and old taking higher rank, they have all been UMS In Nature! .

Snowball HEAVEN

This really does look like heaven, in StarCraft map form anyway. There are so many resources, you cannot possibly run out. There is also a huge amount of vespene gas. I use vespene gas more than mo...

It was a restless night, and all swallows were cooing from their nesting trees. The shadows were a blaze under the graceful moonlight, and the hit of leaves on to the ground could be herd under the breeze which kept on high the damp sounding foggy blue night and black air, swiftly moving it all. Surely the Samurai could feel the enticement pounding through his veins like a drum that has been beating louder and can now be herd by the presence of all Saintly mannor, and this seemed to stop the Samurai as he fell into a deeper and deeper subconscious, state that seemed to reach out at its own subconscious and devour it in one heaping chomp, but then it seemed different as the latch began to fade and brought temporaty back into its subconsciousness. And so the Samurai went home. It was kept under sweet fumes of dusty trails and leak-sided taverns where the weak have gone to toil in old dire issues that bring in some conflicts, that which some matter most to those even whom have written history, and read it and feel themself become in the longer picture, one whom with the pen holds in its hand and causes the magic to appear when it is true, false, or still a hopefulness inside where we can still see it, as magic..………..
THE END
From one Author to Another:
These types of magic, this kind of Hero, and believe it, or not but try to realize that you helped make this Hero, but it could be true.

Alternate Ending: ~By Matthew Micheal Brooks Rozon.
The Samurai has a slumber in his senses, fighting it off day by day, he finally sheaths his sword to rest. The relentlessness has become clear to him now. Much too clear, for his teachers have never looked upon him in shame of his judgments. Contradictory to what they had said about leaving though, he felt that his past and Future always had to be very much different. What turned out to be different was not the Samurai, it was the war and his surroundings. The Grace that had once been the surroundings of the mountains and Salt in the Sea turned into the Grace of having travelled through them and seen so many Smiling faces. The Majesty of the Forest illuminating like the cloud of ones own breath and through the hazyness we see all of the times of glory we treaded upon, and all of the great battles.
The Samurai Lurks swiftly into the Forest as he follows a main path which opens just near a shallow part of trees. The light from the sun is shinning and there is no branch in the way, or any shadows until just as soon as it turns left and just as he approaches, a carriage is there just pulling into sight. A shattering blink from the driver-coach’s eyes and there he see’s that one man, standing. With a gasping coming from the coach’s mouth, The Samurai stands strong, hands on his side, and turned just slightly. As the shields and blankets hung over the side showed, this was a caravan traveling East to catch some profit selling good-fine suits and home comforts, yet it could also show that these were a knight’s of a certain brigade.
At first the pitch is that The Samurai, introduces himself, and tries to grab a ride, but at no firm standpoint with the driver. The driver looked ordinary yet with a little stubbornness. His head shined which gave way to the red hair on his side which stretched to the back of his head and with a plentiful but not fully covered beard, looked with a gaze as if amongst children, and his face glew red, it seemed from the cold, but looked like he was sitting at a campfire and he shawn his gaze over to the Samurai!
“He surly has a great way of travelling, and is dealt such a nice smile of this peaceful day, Could I meet your acquaintance?”
“Not without this person’s name first” The Driver bargened, as the Samurai thought, how quaint would it be now to try and chop of his head, but he could never live for Tyranny.
“I am distinguished to have met thee.. . ?” There was a subtle pause, and then silence and then the man with the big red beard spoke, “Alagar, and from one tree passer to another, what be your name?” Shortly the idea came to Alagar that, “Celonesiss” could be of valuable protection.
There was much available for one added person on board. It only took a few moments to know that this friendship would be planned to stay together, for a long extrusion of time. They didn’t get along abruptly, but both were entranced by each others abilities. It almost seemed like the first close encounter with a man of the other culture, except without war. And Alagar knew all about the wars and how they had started. This alone was a good reason to say, that’s why he stuck with him. From the very beginning they had so much to dispose. And they wielded swords together, Endlessly, given only the one true path to must follow, while this became true, that they were seen righteous amongst men, born, from the conditions inside the wake of any opposser's.. . . . . .blind mistakes.
THE END! *God Love's Jesus
So . . . . . I desided to write a story . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I Re-Dedicate this one to my SISTER'S 21st BIRTHDAY DINNER PARTY!! YAA BABY YAA!! I LOVE MIKE MYERS!! and Mercer Myers *tear.

P.s. Have a great year everybody and have a Good time. *Make that a GREAT TIME EVERYBODY!!
So you spammed doodads, improperly laid out resources, and made entirely linear paths from player to player? Are you serious?
Well Linear just mean's using lines. It's not exactly an insult. By the way there reason's that people use doodad's, and reason's that people use the word Spam. Odviously you would be right if I was myself trying to "spam doodad's" however, it just took a long time for inspiration to actually hit again to change the map in any sort've form or as, as if you read the discription, I used a laptop and only when in my total surroundings I felt good, would I work on the map.
So you can understand how I will never believe that slander that you put up on my forum. It was souly for the purpose of using extra space for doodads I did not consider before, considered. By the way each base represents a patter for mining mineral's that is different yet a tribute to over the years the different types of bases that people came up with making for mining that's style kind've stuck around working together colaborating, if you will, to make a map of an all-in-one style, or bringing together many styles is what I'm saying. As you can see one base has 50,000 minerals only 1 mineral right above it an none else around, making it like fastest map tributed to hell. As well as the far left where they just surround as well as the gas.
You really need to do up your reading. Linear bases? lol that simply means:
adjective
1.of, consisting of, or using lines: linear design.
2. pertaining to or represented by lines: linear dimensions.
3. extended or arranged in a line: a linear series.
So now I know your a jerk because you were trying to make it sound like an insult. Like what is that supposed to mean? Read the review dude and understand, starcraft has been around in circulation since 1996, and you're still thinkin' we do not pickup on the same vibe as you are? We all are dude, just pick and choose your words more carefully next time or keep them to yourself because it only reflects back in the mirror to yourself.
You know what I'm wondering . . . when are we going to make thing's better instead of worse for our people? Why our civilian entity is still feeling like is there’s a crisis on our hands, should not be happening! When are we going to concentrate on that promise that in 5 year's there would be no more bum's on all the streets? They’re even putting petifiles back on the street, and ‘letting’ them be petifiles as long as they snitch to police! So now getting the drug dealer is worth more to them then the sexual molesting of our children. WW2 is over, yet their focus, is not all on our own people. We’re getting ripped off on our over-time by companies who weren’t even issuing pay stub’s so they could do it, and you think that being distracted by suicidal maniac’s is a good enough excuse to not know about, publish about, or do anything about it? Where’s the focus gone from War? Why has it gone back to War, Money Scam’s creating problems and not to fixing ‘our’ problems?
So I just downloaded, but haven't played the map, (I will get to that latter), But I will only say this regarding the Doodads. It's tempting to place as many of them as you want. Heck, I sometimes place so many I can't build in my own base, then I have to go back to the drawing board. So what I will say is, try to keep the doodads to a minimum in build-able areas. That way you can actually have a base. Same with terrain, don't place unbuildable terrain so close to the base, cause then you can't make an actual base.
Other than that keep up the good work :)
