Hi
I play regularly with 3 friends on SC Brood War VS 4 IA, in multiplayer.
Problem: Our starting positions are often mixed.
Is it possible, for example, to always be on the left side of the map with my friends? (All AIs --> Right).
There are colors on the mini-card on the right, but when we take the colors (example: I take red to have the red position on the mini-map), our starting positions are always random. Maybe just an indication for possible bases ?
Currently there is no way to chose the start point, only if the Map Maker has created special spots for this purpose, meaning that there is no way to do it in Starcraft itself, it can only be done by Customs maps designed for this.
This is an important question because at some point of next year Team Match Making is going to be released to the public, and we hope that we can then have a way of Choosing starting positions, but for the moment is not posible outside of specific maps that allow this.
You can sure understand that the “start randomization” is something important to maintain the balance of the Game, otherwise cheeses and quick attacks could be devastating, that is why 2 sided maps are designed in particular ways.
