You could start your own independent reporting /newspaper/tv news show/online news/review company. You could certainly give the media a breath of fresh air and realism.

I think the transitioning aspect of the maps is really interesting. The part where you said you can see some of what the next map will be like.

the transitioning isn't really that amazing just that if you play the maps in alphabetical order you get to see some of the objects that will be in the next map. Alphabetical order is (beach, islands, jungle, plains, streets) An example of the transition is on plains there is a city in the distance.

Still it is nice, I mean foreshadowing is an excellent technique to use to give this mappack a more cohesive feeling.
Btw, since this isn't a "trilogy" anymore, will this be called something else?
like "Khimera ______" or " _______ of Khimera"
Some words that could fill in the blanks: legend, saga, series, lore, battlefronts

I did this on another WIP topic, maybe they wont mind.>.>
Hidden/Spoiler:
Put "Khimera" in front then pick one from either column.

Impending
Fleeting
Fall of (the)
Deadly
Rise of (the)
Conquest (of)
The Future's
Assault (of)
Triumph of (the)
Shroud of (the)
Last of (the)
Insurrection of
Light of
Final
Dawn of (the)
Drive of (the)
Heart of (the)
Start of a new

Age
Rise
Death
Hope
Fear
Life
The Republic
The CIS
Reckoning
Chance
Beginning
Planet
Gambit
Shadows
Darkness
Doom
Crisis
End
Resistance
Some of them naturally don't work well; i.e. Fall of the Gambit. But some send chills down your spine with awesomness. (they might also need articles[for those with poor english skills that means "a, an, the."]. Some might need "of" too.)

ahh idk I want somewhat of an epic name but not one that is completely outrageous and all the names about destruction and ruin i now say no too because Khimera is and was not designed to be an ugly war torn planet it really is supposed to be a natural planet that just has some cool battles on it

edit i looked up what a group of 5 works is called 3 is trilogy 4 is tetralogy so i assume 5 is pentalagy or pentology and 7 is heptalogy idk but i don't like pentalagy or pentology

Well, if you don't want the map name to be war-related, and you want the name to reflect nature or something awe-inspiring, how about:
Khimera: Planet Lost in Time
or
Khimera: The Forgotten World
or
Khimera: Cradle of Life
or
Khimera: Ancient Empire
or
Khimera: Jewel of the Galaxy (my favorite)

I like to call it a "planet pack", because it is a map pack comprised of maps that take place in the same planet (ooooooh I'm so clever[/sarcasm]).

"The Khimera Series," do you like that name?

Hmm, it's weird in my opinion, "Battlefront" is a word that sounds better when used in its singular form (and we all know pandemic/lucas arts decided to give SWBF that name because it was obviously "inspired" by the battlefield series).

Khimera Anthology?

that sounds quite good. Khimera: Battlefields?
you could have Khimera: Collection, Khimera: Battlegrounds (change of battlefronts) maybe Khimera Wars or Khimera: Justice?
i think Khimera: Planetpack sounded quite good

Sounds good to me. (simple title, yet effective and true to the game)

EDIT: Although Anthology and Planetpack are good as well.
