Example.

I loved these maps, made up most of my playtime on SC1. Anyone know of any standalone games that are like that? Or new custom games similar to it in SC2?

I know Civ/EU/CK etc. exist but they don't quite scratch the itch. I might be the fact that they are turn based and not real time.

I liked that the countries each had a special unit that when you took over their country you could then use that unit, and that you couldn't just walk into a country without getting raped by the photon cannons unless you had a overwhelming military. Like at the start the game would be super hard to expand and then at the end you would just steamroll everything in your path and duke it out with large multi-unique unit armies.
