Overview of the Map. Looks boring? Wait until you played it....
Footmen has been one of the TOP10 mods @ EU ever since it got released in September 2010. Now it is available @ NA server, so what are you waiting for?
Footmen [US] by SKC About the map: Footmen is a 3v3v3v3 autospawning map with heroes. It is inspired by "Footmen Frenzy" from WarCraft 3. The basic gameplay is quite similar to maps like "Marine Arena" or "Zealot Frenzy". Every player got a main building, which spawns units permanently. Additionally, every player gets a hero. Killing enemy units / heroes gives you EXP & money which you can use to upgrade your main building to spawn better units, buy new weapons, armors or other stuff for your hero, buy special units to support your army or many other things.Your hero will level up by getting EXP which allows him to lean skills and become stronger and stronger. You also can set the heroes attribute points (agility, strength, intelligence) to turn him rather into an assassin, a tank or a spell caster. Footmen allows a large variety of play-styles. You may go rather unit focussed or hero-based, you can turn your hero into a fast assassin to snipe enemy heroes or a devastating killing machine with a rocket launcher to rip enemy armies within seconds. You can build a mobile, fast army or a slow but stong one. There lots of different weapons, items and special units to support your play-style, even some secret items and hidden units can be found. Players also get experience by playing & winning Footmen games to unlock special features when you reach higher levels.

The map has always been developing ever since it got released almost a year ago and there has been added tons of new stuff, such as new heroes, items or units. Also as lot of balancing has been applied. Of course the map will be worked on in the future, too. As long as someone plays it, ill keep working on it and add new stuff, balance, or do, whatever it takes to make it even better.
So, have a try, the Map is called "Footmen [US]" (author: SKC)
The wc3 version is awesome. Footmen in sc2 is ... meh. Lack of UI is the biggest problem. Hopefully with Hots (and dota) blizzard opens new and easier ways to implement hero play in SC. Heros simply don't work intuitive in SC2.
It's still a very good map, don't get me wrong! It's now blizzard's part, to improve.

yes, thats very true. Hopy Blizz will add some UI features, maybe with expansion set...
i realized the grenade launcher is really strong, i won a few games by getting it as fast as possible and rip through marines. I'm not sure if its OP or not, maybe level on NA server is not that high as EU, but i feel its really strong. But really fun to play that build though
