Dating back as early as 2004, this map was my take on Team Micro Arena, another series of maps popular at the time. Whereas Team Micro Arena had players choose from preselected blocks of units, Überena simply gave each player predetermined amounts of minerals and let players build whatever units they wanted. So two teams of up to four players battle it out to destroy the other team's headquarters (Overmind), earning mineral upgrades and heroes, which buy powerful units or effects, along the way.
This map has undergone a very thorough and extensive major update, so those feeling nostalgic or looking to get back into SC:BW UMS would be well worth playing or revisiting this classic map.

**** Version 032 -- June 08, 2013
General:
- Added Modern and Classic modes. Selection defaults to Classic in 30 seconds.
- Redid the arena terrain, left/right instead of top/bottom now.
- Mineral upgrade and hero information is shown in the mission objectives now.
- Overhauled respawn and suicide mechanics. A player's respawn time is now visible and indicated by Vespene Gas.
- New suicide mechanics. Suicide penalty is half the unit's modified killscore and a proportional penalty to spawn time.
- The following units suicide with no penalty: Dropship, Shuttle, Overlord, Observer, Medic, Heroes (Infested Kerrigan, Artanis, Jim Raynor (Marine))
- Changed player color for Brown to Tan for improved visibility.
- Moved Yggdrasill Overlords so deployment is actually near unit storage now.
- Spam-clicking the Yggdrasill Overlords out of the box will kill and replace them instead of just killing them.
- Removed Zergling attack speed.
- Removed superfluous locations that I couldn't remember the purpose of.
- Various trigger efficency improvements.
- Many string changes and polishing.
- Fixed potential exploit where Cocoons/Lurker Eggs could pass between spawns.
- Added victory triggers for when the other team leaves the game.
- Removed Citadels of Adun for players, as they were not necessary.
- Removed Geysers. Let's be honest, stack attack was a joke move.
- Removed Drones and creep from the terrain. This made Zerg Evolution Chambers superfluous, and they were also removed.
- Added Map Revealers to the spawn storage area.
- Disabled Infestation ability on Queens.
- Victory triggers now activate when the last player on the opposing team leaves the game.
Heroes:
- Removed Nuke, replaced with 3x Respawn Rate (Team, 120s).
- Mineral bonus now goes to a maximum +7000 instead of +5000.
- Added text message when using mineral bonus, includes warning not to cancel a build.
- Added text message and minimap ping for Infested Kerrigan purchase.
- Added text message and minimap ping for Übartanis / Raynor purchase.
- Added text message and minimap ping when buying second Comsat. Also added warning and DT move when trying to buy it multiple times.
- Minimind HP changed from 3600 to 5000.
- Improved handling of Minimind placement and Overmind replacement when the Minimind is destroyed.
- Fixed bug for buying Minimind with second team when it already had one.
- Added text message and minmap ping for both teams when either team buys Minimind.
- Fixed bug where second team could activate defense guns while they were already active (thereby losing time) or prevent first team from using them.
- Added text message and minimap ping when Defense Guns are activated, only for the team using them. Another text message notifies the team when the time runs out.
- Removed 3x Invincible IT hero, replaced with Team Heal once per second for eight seconds, 100% energy refill once.
