a_speck_of_dust's Pharosis

What we have here is a map I made called Pharosis. It is a rocky,
grassy planet with giant crystalline rock formations all over the place.
I made it in 1 day and spent a week testing it.

Download link is:
http://fs06n3.sendspace.com/dl/72f8299e ... arosis.zip

Don't expect to jump into the battle and kill 20 people on the first
try (Expect to kill 3-8 people (depending on how good you are.) Once
you get used to the fighting style this map demands (not too aggressive),
the amount of kills you get will increase. I recommend that you start with
normal difficulty settings!

Some useful tactics:
-use the rocks for cover
-crouch A LOT!
-don't go for the center! instead, go for the surrounding CP's and your
reinforcements will take care of the center for you.
-the grass makes finding health and ammo more difficult, but you get used
to it quickly.
-A great strategy is to stay by a friendly CP and shoot 5-6 enemies, and
hen go to the CP's health/ammo droids and recharge, then continue 5-6
ore troops, and repeat this cycle.
-USE VEHICLES! Vehicles are crucial in this battle!

(if any file front staff see this, please fix the corrupt Pharosis D/load link at filefront!)
map is by me, a_speck_of_dust -thanks to Yankfan for awesome lasers!

You make very good use of the shipped assets, that's for sure. This map looks beautiful so I'll definitely give it a go.

This map looks very good. Is there an alternate site to download this? My virus scanner has reported this

Okay it's my work's checker but there must be a reason for it. They don't block other download sites.

looks great like all of your work, but both winrar and winzip tells me the file is broken or corrupt :-/

*Looks at all the lasers in fifth screenshot* :shock: Wow!
Where are they all coming from?

In fact, all of the screenshots are great, you did a great job of presenting this map.

I've been having a craving for a map demanding tactics besides running out and killing everything, so this should be great.

Yeah the map is pretty fun and I was surprised that I played pretty well considering all the grass and units on the field. I really like the design, and yeah it's a tough map. I wish I could keep it but the file size is far too big.

Thats what right click > properties > advanced > compress contents to save disk space
is for. NTFS compression works well on lvl files because they are built for speedy access and take up way more space than they should.

That's an understatement :P. 256 MB?!

Would you mind uploading this to FileFront? People ought to be able to download it faster there. Or is the one on Battlefront Files the same one as this?

The one on SWBFFiles is corrupt though a few people were lucky and had no problems with the extraction.

works now, great map again, very nice atmosphere... but why do you always have to use the Diet Dr. Pepper uber mode? don't you think it would be fun to play the map with about 20 players online? but nearly no chance with ubermode :-/
