Where can I find the maps folder within StarcraftII?

I am trying to set up Starcraft II for Deep Reinforcement Learning, following this Tutorial.

At some point I am adviced to download the maps:

Get the maps

PySC2 has many maps pre-configured, but they need to be downloaded into the SC2 Maps directory before they can be played.

Download the ladder maps and the mini games and extract them to your StarcraftII/Maps/ directory.

Thing is I am not able to locate my Maps directory. Any advice or hints are welcome.

Solution

  • Create one yourself

    So the thing is, I could not find it, since there is none. The easy solution in hindsight is to create one:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Maps\mini_games

    Hint: Make sure to not put your maps directly into the Maps folder but within another subfolder (e.g. mini_games), otherwise the maps won't be found.
