As a kid playing on the beach, I built sandcastles near the waves, and tried to hold them off as long as possible. Sometimes I'd be frustrated by a castle I couldn't finish, or a castle that was never assaulted by the water, but the most satisfying castles were the ones that were under frequent assault that I could keep going through effort and will.And so now I play the Baracco Startion map on Starcraft 2 against the computer. I'm constantly tweaking the numbers and qualities of my allies and opponents, trying to find the zone where I can just barely hang on. I have no idea where the Startion map came from, but after various searches I have yet to find something that so approximates the Starcraft equivalent of my sandcastles.
