Original Ideas For a Map

Hey guys, some of you may have heard of the 302 conversion. Well Ive started up on it again and I was wondering if any of you had some original ideas for maps that should be released with the mod. Ideas should be as original as you can make them (no mustafars or naboos)

P.S Mods, is this in the right place?

Just look for a random planet on Wookieepedia. I'm sure you could find something, though a map that takes place on Mon Cal would be nice.

Or use some innovation and invent your own.

As to map ideas, depends on how experienced a mapper you are really.

Im not really that great of a mapper but thats part of the reason that Im doing this part of the project, so that I can better familiarize myself with the interface of ZE

*edit* Ive decided that one of the maps may be a planet named Carosi XII. I may also remake one of my Hapul maps.

I've really wanted to see a map that was more ZE terrain centered, rather than prop centered. Not an easy task, or a simple prompt, just putting it out there.

What do you mean by terrain centered? Like theres no objects or what.

A map where the gameplay is based heavily on terrain modification. I'm really not sure how I expect one to do that.

Yeah, that's also very difficult to do. Don't get me wrong, the terrain editor is great, but you can't really use it to make a map out of it, since it would be very bland AND the terrain would look stretched quite fast.

If you think you can pull it off better, then go ahead and do it.

You mean Hapul? Yeah, Ive gotten a lot better since then
