With SOLDIER, AVALANCHE, and SeeD,  don't know what they stand for, Simple. So you could say something like "NaNO" or "NANo" Soldiers, etc. Just aesthetics, really, nothing big. I just don't find Nano-soldiers appealing since when I think Nano-soldier.. I think 1/35 Soldier from FF7.
I hate to break it to you, but 1/35th soldier isn't even close to nano.  More like 1/35000000000000000000000000000th

I remember when I found all 1/35th soldiers and put them together.  That was amazing.

I'll stick with 1/35^googol, hah.

And yes, watching all those little guys march away towards one of the secret weapons was quite the accomplishment, then I realized the pointlessness, and smiled.



Name you're soldiers 1/35 Soldiers, it's bound to succeed.

Or.. Nano Enhanced Soldiers.. The NES. Hah.

Update!!!
The story has taken a complete turnaround because of personal reasons. So I present to you the NEW storyline:

It's been eight years since the nightmare that was the Brood War. Kerrigan's forces have retreated back to Char, Artanis has gone on the search for signs of Raynor and Zeratul, and Mengsk has finished rebuilding his dominion, ensuring that it would never be crippled and defeated again. The UED still remains in the Korpulu sector, but most have been eradicated by Zerg broods. Most Protoss factions are fighting over the making of the New Conclave, an organization that will determine who rules the warring tribes. As all this chaos carries out in the Korpulu sector, a new group emerges. NERV, an organization that strives for complete dominance in the Korpulu sector, appears almost as if out of nowhere and starts it's invasion of the Terran Dominion, taking it by storm. NERV, led by Gendo Ikari and his second in command Kozo Fuyutsuki, aims to take the Korpulu sector to commence a process called "Insturmentality" in which they will eliminate all species and humans alike that do not join them in their cause. But, NERV is not the only organization that appears out of nowhere. Another very mysterious organization called SEELE seeks something else from Korpulu....
Something far more valuable...


So, there ya go! Oh and one more thing. From now on this campaign will henceforth be known as and called "Instrumentality".

I think I know how this one ends.  Incidentally, you can attach maps to your posts the same way you attach any file. There's a box under 'additional options', just browse for the map and set it in there, then post.

EDIT: As an example of how it'll appear when you do it right, and in the spirit of the story you're transplanting to SC, here's Neon Genesis Evangelion: Starcraft Edition. Note: I did not create, participate in the making of, or in any way influence this map. It is, however, the most complete Evangelion map available on BW, to my knowledge, besides Shinseiki Evangelion Beta 1.56, which I do not have permission to distribute.

Lol I know what that is. Anyone who goes on b.net does. But my campaign is not based off of the series, it merely has same names, theories, and characters.

Sounds interesting. I have to say, even though I had my sojourn with Evangelion many, many years ago (And, as my screen-name shows, carry a few relics through to this day), I'm quite interested to see your treatment of the psychological tale in a Starcraft environment. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you very much Kaoru!! (love the name btw)

Oh and I have a question. Is there a way to change mp3s into wav files? If so can someone tell me how?

Re: A new project.

There are programs available online that perform the conversion.
Unfortunately, most of them cost money.
Now, there are some out there that are available for free, but
there are also some out there that are not what they advertise,
and will cripple your computer. My best advice to you is,
go to Google with an excellent Spyware-shield and
Virus-scanner active, and search for ".mp3 to .WAV"
in the 'sites' section (Which should be the section you're
on as soon as you access Google.)

To this date, I actually haven't found an excellent audio converter available for free - but I only looked
once or twice. Then again, I was trying to copy .cda files into .mp3 and then .wav form, so I was
pretty much doomed to failure from the start! Anyhow. If you do as I said, you're going to see a lot
of sites advertising .mp3 to .wav converters. Just be careful while browsing them. Many of them
work, some of them don't.

Thank you very much!! And another question lol. When I start the mission itself, the computer starts mining but then all of its miners either stop working or start moving to other geysuers that they can't mine.
Info on this mission:
I have two comps, all ccs have a location trigger that makes them start easy terran campaign expansion.

A lame free way of converting anything to WAV is to connect your output to your input on your computer for audio, therefor any noise goes directly back in as if it was a microphone, and use Windows Sound Recorder. Also, if possible, under your Volume Control panel, select Options > Properties > Recording and see if you have something similar to "What You Hear," most soundcards offer this now, which record any sound your computer makes without having to use a wire.

As for your computer issue, I'd avoid "campaign" triggers, I believe. I don't recall exactly, but I do know Campaign specific AI scripts initiate the computer to perform certain tasks not normally found in the normal AI. I couldn't tell you for sure since I'm at work.

What editor are you using? It's standard to use the X-Tra editor now a days.

I'm using the editor that came with SC. So I'm assuming thats bad... Oh well you can determine that yourself. Here is the first mission of the campaign. I hope you enjoy it, because it definetly made my head hurt. If you see any errors or have suggestions then please tell me.
