Looks nice. I like the amount of levels. Seems like a promising map. No one else has made any mygeeto maps.

No playable LAATs? That bites.

They sucks. :P
What he means to say everyone is that SBDs are underpowered completely. OOM-9 do you think you have a chance to make the SBD a little more effective? For one thing, they could use more health (possilbly more than a droideka's) and a slightly better wrist rocket. I know you may come across the problem that I've just created unbalanced gameplay but me believe. In this game, the Clone Trooper's rifle fires faster than a SBD's wrist blaster and their grenades are stronger than the wrist rockets. After a minor tweak in the SBD, you could tone a droideka's health or shield. Personally, I never believed a droideka had better health/armor than a Magnaguard (because in this game, Magnaguard's health is so weak)

Off-Topic: Personally, I disliked LucasFilm and George giving a spam number of SBDs. Instead, they should've been improving the SBD as a true "super" droid and not some droid that was nerfed up completely. I would've prefered regular battle droids in the movies marching towards Mundi.

And for everyone's sake, please don't counter by saying it's not possible to even consider these ideas. Please I don't want to argue with anybody. 8)

The SBDs have 1200 HP, walk like 1/3rd the speed of normal troops, and have repeating wrist blasters.

Droidekas are immune to small arms fire

Regular droids never use stamina, cause droids can't get tired

Clones are more agile with cooler guns


Only the top bridge is part of the battlefield because the bridges have no collision or even visable mesh's on thier bottoms, so if you are on a lower level and look up... you see people running around.

As to the AT-XT, it doesn't walkon the Mygeeto bridge without glitching and falling through.

With their shields on literally? How much damage (looking for a number please) do you intend in making blaster pistols useless towards droideka shields? Any shield should deplete slowly because it wastes energy especially when some little particle effect (a blaster for instance( hits it. To have something hit the droideka shield but cause no damage at all is very VERY unrealistic. No offense OOM-9. As the saying goes, the smaller the shield, the weaker it is. :wink:

All commanders have a rocket launcher with unlimited ammo so that they can kill droidekas and vehicles.
Personally I think this is a bad idea because in a video game, you have to have a limit in what somebody carries. This example you just said here gives the Clones a better advantage over the CIS not because they have droidekas. In terms of competitive gameplay, this map is designed to be too easy for a challenge and possibly unbalanced gameplay. I see a similar pattern here...you're using Valiant's mistake of constantly hyping the Clones (his Utapau maps specifically) rather than balancing both sides (limiting units is also a mistake if not executed well :idea: )

Final Word of my recommendation buddy: Don't give Clones unlimited ammo/don't overpower droidekas despite what the movie shows to be a somewhat inconsistant version of hyped droidekas.

I suppose that about the droid energy bar, you are assuming that all droids only have as much energy as their batteries can carry?

About the droideka shield... yeah, the game should treat the shield as extra armor rather than extra HP.

EDIT: Oh, and to say something on topic, couldn't you modify the Mygeeto bridge skins so that they're entirely opaque, allowing multiple levels?

First of all, dont tell OOM-9 what he HAS to do, as it's his map ;)
Secondly, I think CPs shouldnt be capturable, because once you capture a CP on one bridge there's no point in still being there... :/
Thirdly, I believe unlimited rockets are a good idea since commanders are gonna be hard to get (hopefully)
Last but not least, this map looks awsome.

who said that?


Ok you want the SBD to have been SUPER droids ...lower in number , right?

Well THAT is what Droiekas are! THEY are the super droids that you surrender to if a couple of them surround you. A couple of BD's or SBD's you can easily chop up with a saber.

Looking pretty good. Is there a chance of getting those Unstable Tank (or whatever they r called [from Ep3 betrayl])? The one that flow up in the air when it was destroyed.

You could flip the bridge segments over and put them under the bridges to give them collision on both sides.

Looks sweet, btw. :D

I don't think we need any more hype Clones.

And you said realistic Mygeeto. So I assume this map is big enough to give special units better numbers right?

And what is that supposed to mean, you rollie-pollie fan? You trashing my Mygetto: Invasion again, Droideka? Just because I don't superhype the DROIDEKAS like you would like doesn't mean the map is unwinable for the CIS. You just have to use your brain. Plus, don't think I will sit here and let you trash my other maps, you overgrown ****-*** (Thinking, "Not getting in trouble".)

Anyway, good work, man. And Droideka: SHUT UP about Droidkeas. Every day I see the same thing. Oh the Droidekas need to be made better. Go to an anything goes forum and make your post there about droidekas.

will the cone head jedi guy (forgot his name) be a corpse in the middle of a bridge or maybe on his own team killing everyone?

Ki-Adi Mundi (the cone Jedi guy, hehe). I think this map is on the first days of the Mygeeto battle (maybe not) so I guess Mundi should be there...
