My personal tips for balancing is if Titans are underpowered make defensive positions more rewarding, for Khraleans do attack instead. Sapiens are balanced in this sense so they shouldn't be to hard. Also if mass swarm is done too much and you don't want less money make the level bigger with more chokepoints.

Hello,

I can't play my maps "solo" against AI. I can only publish them and play it online. Is that right ? Or am I doing something wrong ?

Also, once you've uploaded a test map online. Can you/How do you delete it ?

Thanks

Another tip when testing a map is to be both player 1 and to NOT be player 1 (have a fellow tester invite you to your map. That way you can see if what looks good from side A is just as good from side B

(found an invite to an interesting 6 player team map only to find player one had almost twice as many bases to get to easilly as the rest of the players and interestingly player 3 and 5 also had bigger zones (map designer didn't realize team A is 1, 4, 6) I attempted to invite him to his own map (with bots as team mates but was declined sadly.) awe snap....

This is probably really obvious, but I can't work it out!

How do I setup a game as player 2?

I have created and uploaded my first map (Best of Five). Obviously its a completely original masterpiece and will never need updating! ...but just in case I thought I should play test it a few times, and for the life of me I can't work out how to start as player 2.

Unless you have an alt you can't. Even with an alt it's a royal pain logging back and forth.

Best bet, ask someone in chat to help you out with testing the map and ask them to set it up and invite you. It is key to see secondary players seat as some maps it seems ballanced from the cockpit or seat 1 but not as goor (or too good) from seat 2.

Glad I'm not completely losing it, but it's a shame that' it's not possible. In which case Dragon, if you like the look of Best of Five, would you mind challenging me

Once is map is ranked and then it gets a bunch of down votes, should you look at changing the map to better balance?
