[UMS] New Sc2 Map

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a Custom Arcade game. My idea of the game is pretty simple. Have user's make units to stand off rounds of Zerg units which spawn from 4 different sides of the map via ramp. In the middle of the base is a structure which has to be destroyed by the Zerg units. After each round the Zerg units become stronger and stronger. Currently I only have Marine, Marauder, Reeper, and Ghost units available for the users. I am new to making maps/custom games. If you guys have any idea's please let me know below! Thanks everyone.

Seems like a really really simple idea to be honest, sort of like that custom map Overrun except you dont defend from the sides.

Yeah, it's my first ever map. I am going off of a tutorial but I'm trying to make it different. Can you help out by giving ideas of something you'd like or something that would be entertaining and fun.

perhaps a boss wave. i think adding a hero or super units too help it out. also, your probably gonna want air units and maybe u can pick which location out of 4+ set locations are to be defended

GL!

Maybe have some randomized stuff so there's a lot of replayability?

You should make random restrictions for the player each round, such as increased/decreased unit type costs or make one type entirely unusable for that round. And then also make the battleground change each round, so that the player will face a new challenge each time. Enemies should of cause be semi-randomised as well.

Thanks for the ideas again guys. I have an old version of what I'm trying to make. If you guys go into Arcade and search for "Alien Invasion" you can play it, but it has bugs. I'm just trying to make it even better. I'll have images up here soon guys.
