Wow, I don't know. That looks like an epic vehicle battle map though!

Alright, let me give yah a little review on this map. I'm rather critical, so be prepared:
Hidden/Spoiler:
First off, the rather common texture error is present. (Either the texture around your character is to bright, or is black.) Try fixing this by adding a detail tga to ground texture.

Next, change the skybox. The geo sky does not go with the map. Make sure to include all textures and mshs referenced in your sky file as well!

Also, there are too few troops for too many vehicles. Edit the Lua to add maybe a 100 troops on the battlefield with maybe a 500-1000 reinforcements.

Are the vehicles simply added to the map? Normally the vehicles are attatched to a CP, that way they respawn. Don't know if that's the case here.

Flying acklays and rancors? I don't quite get that one.

The flying platforms are certainly an interesting vehicle, but the troops are glitchy while riding them.

What does "figged" mean?

I'd suggest adding new icons for some of the vehicles. You can make them yourself, it's not real hard.

Alot of missing sounds. Consult the "All-you-need-to-know thread" for help.

The vehicles go waaaaayyyy to fast.


There are some possitive things to the map:

I like the Dooku speeders. (Still to fast tho)

Lots of vehicles is good.

The bespin-prop base is cool. I like it.

The waterfall is neat.

Understood. Just personal preference I suppose. As for the fambaa, you could try adding different unit label. Maybe the label used on the Geonosis Republic Foward Command Center. Although this may result in the animation errors, but it's worth a try. If not then I don't know, 'cause I have heard that some things just aren't online compatible.

BTW, I still think you should add more troops to the battlefield!
