How to Change Build Times in StarCraft II Map Editor

Like the original game, "StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty" comes with a powerful map editing program that allows you to create customized levels. The software, called "StarCraft 2 Editor," lets you design the map and change unit traits, such as build time. Because of the number of options included in "StarCraft 2 Editor," many gamers become overwhelmed and unable to locate their desired options. For instance, you must navigate several menus and sort through lists to find the trait to modify how long it takes to build specific units or construct structures. Use the "Data" manager to modify units and building preferences.
