WIP: 79th Assault Battalion Maps _ update on page 3

Ok at first when i posted Alaris Prime, the 79th assault legion was only used to make a story so the map could work but I got the chance to rethink about that legion and decided to make more maps and probably a mappack with these maps whoth this legion so here it goes:

Alaris Prime: River Ambush 2.0

The map has seen many improvement on what you guys and the guys on filefront told me, it now has snailtanks,BARC speeder, STAPs, and one AT-RT. I added a wookie village on one of the hills, added a forest on one side of the river and fixed the texture and detail problems :P

Here's the story:

After the second battle of Alaris Prime, the 79th assault battalion is called
in to destroy every last CIS base,outpost and unit on Alaris Prime.
Each base they found was abandonned until now, it seems every
last droid has assembled near this river to make one last stand
its up to you to destroy the cis occupants or help them regain their lost territory!

Gungan Sanctuary

This map is set on naboo, near the refuge of the Gungans we can see in Star Wars: Episode 1, The map will feature all each one of these the costum clone wars sides and will probably have a costum gw, actualy it will i'm working on the sides right now...

Here's the story:
cw:
After a patrol in the southern hemisphere of naboo, a 79th Assault Battalion LAAT detachement was shot down near the Gungan Sanctuary. The Last Transmission received mentioned a CIS detachement patroling in the marshlands. A part of the 79th is sent to investigate on the crash and neutralize any CIS droid or outpost.
gw:
After the 501st killed the naboo queen, a goup of rebels ran into the marshland seeking the gungan's protection. We send the newly formed 79th Stormtrooper detachement to capture or kill the traitors. ( still gotta work on this story )

Ichtor 8

The battle is set on a rocky plateau of Ichto 8. I've added a number of chaingun turrets and the layout is very fun because you feel like in the mountains and you must go over the hill t attack the other team so you never know what you are up against!

Anyways, here's the story:

Some inhabitants of Ichtor 8 have contacted the Republic saying they had seen some CIS ships land in the mountains of the planet.
Taking no chances, the Republic sent the 79th Attack Battalion to discover if the rumor was true and destroy CIS activity on the planet.
Upon arriving, The 79th Clones discover Defense turrets instaled, The fighting is gonna be hard on this cliffside.

Rhen-Var outpost

First thing i need to say on this map is that it really feels like if you are attacking a CIS base. The droids are defending really well and trying to get to close to their base while you don't control the rest of the battlefield will get you killed by the snipers and turrets :D

Here's the story:

Like on Alaris Prime, the 79th assault battalion is sent to destroy the CIS occupants on the planet so it is safe to hold a Republic Base.
They have lost many troopers while freeing the planet of the droids but the fight to destroy one of their outpost was the worst. Not able to continue, the 79th asked for reinforcements. The Republic sent them 2 ATTEs and a whole battalion of new troops to help them on their mission. The battle for the survival of the CIS on Rhen-Var has begun !!!

So here it is, new maps will make their appearances on this maps but i know focus on finishing these ones...

The sides are finished but have a mighty bug, the republic crashes after about 1-2 minutes ( currently tring to fix it on another thread)
anyways, i'll post pics of the troopers so you can see what the legion looks like.

Each map on this Thread is about 75% done, i only need to add the costum sides to them ( which are already done ) and polish them, that means the planning to be fixed, the loadscreen, the tips and the localizing...

If you have any improvements or things you would like added or changed, don't be shy !

PS: here is a pic of some of the troopers

Update ------ the map are now all or almost complete so maybe 95 % done each ( missing little details for some like the loadscreen or vehicles -- about 5 minutes of work or so) and no only have to finish localizing and complete my sides ( only have to add the hud icon for my emp grenande which is a pain in the **** ) --------- updates on the status of the pack will be made from now on on the others pages ...

All of those maps look incredibly well-made; nice work. The lighting on Naboo looks a little strange, though.

Loved the first version of Alaris Prime, will definitely download this. Also, you could try putting all of these maps in a mappack if you have the time

Well....

Very impressive work on all of them. Have got a couple of suggestions:

Lighting. Like you already said. It seems okay for Gungan and Ichotor and Rhen Var, but it looks pretty blegh for Alaris Prime.
Maybe change the grass on Ichotor? Something lighter, maybe?

Anyway it's a good looking pack. In particular I really like the clone troopers. Keep up the good work.

PS. A mappack would be really useful, would cut down on file size a lot due to (I assume) you using same sides for each map.

Hey Philomen, what legion is going to be on Rhen Var? Is this only a 79th Battalion or are you gonna have Galactic Marines too? Since Rhen Var or Mygeeto seem to be the only planets that have the Galactic Marines in them.

I seem to remember in Alaris Prime 1.0 that it seemed like the battle was balanced in the CIS's favor. You modify it so the Republic has an easier time winning

kk thx. I fixed that with the sides, the CIS aren't poorly fit for battle now but their mighty weapons are more spread out.

The mountain one kind of reminds me of the Badlands in South Dakota. (I think) Also the troopers look amazing too.

I don't know what it is, but Ichtor 8 is my favorite. It reminds me of a Western for some reason. I really like how you've built up a story around this legion too. Definetly downloading when all the maps are released.
