That terrain color in the first screenshot.... just ugh. Use some other terrain textures than just the ones from Yavin. Maybe a couple Endor textures would do?

Sign me up for beta testing.

I'll beta test if you still need someone. If you want any skins at all, I have a whole ton of them that I've created. I might be able to help you if you need or want any.

I'll give you a tip. If you don't want to put in too much foliage, put it around rocks and trees... it kinda makes an illusion to where it seems like there is more foliage, but there isn't.

To all you beta testers, the Beta Version will be out soon. I have also removed water from the map, it created a fatal error.
@Zahadoom: Welcome to GT! Thanks for the tip.

My Review to the first Beta:

The Map is good but needs muchos work :-)
I like that you used some Assets from squeddies :-)

-AI Path needs to be adjusted.
Image
Image
Image
-Move CP1 to the Middle of the Base.
Image
and add more Objects and Vehicle Props to the Base.The Hanger and the Barracks are very Empty.
-add some Vehicles and/or Speeders.
-add Custom Units ( I used Master Fionwë`s Side Mod) and if you want add a Republic Commando Unit.
-make all CP`s capturable.
-nearly all Objects,Props,CP`s,Watchtowers and Buildings are floating.
-Cut the Terrain near the Base to open the Way to the next CP.So you dont need to mountaineer.
Image
Glitch at the Yavin Arena Object
Image
You use too many different Terrain Textures.I like the Dark Green much.

LOL Nice! Playing the map with the jettrooper mod.

EDIT: Alright, I didn't take any screenshots, since I tested with the modtool.exe. However, the same thing as AlexSecura in the first pic. Ai pathing needs to be adjusted, a few places ai were getting stuck, but the tight spots, the ones where you need to manuvoure around small objects, seems to be done very nicely.
Some of your cps are missing regions, two are missing capture regions, and the same two are missing control regions apparently. cp6 and 3 I think.
The temple, the one with all the obelisks sticking out of it, you need to make that a base or something. Place a cp there, becasue that is an awesome spot. Max fly height needs to be increased, as well as unit counts. It was pretty well balanced, but the battle was kinda slow. Add like maybe fifteen to thirty more units to both sides and it should move at a good pace. Terrain is looking great, but you might want to blend the textures so that they don't have such sharp lines. Some objects were partially in the air, and a few cps were also in the air.

All in all, this map is really fun to play. Just a few asthetic things to take care of, and some things to make the battle a little more intense, and it'll be even better. Keep up the great work! :D

One thing I forgot to mention, I really like how you climb a hill, and find yourself looking down at a temple, almost as if it were in a valley. That is really cool.

Sorry Everyone, but because ZE isn't working I'm going to have to halt progress on the map, and It may have to be cancelled, in the end. :cry:
