I have been working on this map for a little while now. The inspiration for it came from [raptor]kashyyyk and some ideas that I had floating around in my head. So here is the story I have for this map so far.

*****Location:Kashyyyk*****
*****Time period: Clone Wars, before Order 66*****

A battered looking commando rushed into the camp of Senior General Luminara Unduli. He had been sent out with two other commandos to train volunteer fighters in case of attack on their local area. They were instructed to go to a small Wookiee village on an island in the middle of a river known as 'The Rihaken'.

The commando brought news. The island is under siege.
When the commandos had arrived at the village they had started instructing the locals on the best way to defend the village in case of attack. But while they were there the CIS made a surprising decision, they were going to take The Rihaken. The commandos suddenly had their hands full just trying to stay alive. But despite this, while helping defend the island from small attacks, two commandos perish. The third, when he had deemed the Wookiees fit to defend themselves from small attacks for a while, stealthfuly made his way thru the blockade back to the high command, to get an attack force to relieve the Wookiees.
Luminara Unduli has decided to go with the attack force and lead the attack. The attack force will rely on speed, thus only IFT-X, BARC Speederbike and Swampspeeder class vehicles will be taken along. The CIS will already will have already had time to bring in heavy class vehicles such as MTT's they will probably also have AAT's and STAP's. The Wookiees will have their native Catamarans to aid in the defense.

Sorry if that was a little long. I have fun making up background stories for my maps.
Here is GCW

*****Location: Kashyyyk*****
*****Time period: New Republic Era*****

Once again the small island in The Rihaken is under attack, not this time by the CIS for the sake of exterminating the native Wookiees, but by the Empire for the sake of free labor for all of their evil projects. But the Wookiees have other ideas; before all their transmissions are jammed they manage to get out a short message to the New Republic, a plea for help. A plea that will not go unanswered. The New Republic received the message and has amassed an attack force lead by the Jedi Knight Lowbacca.

I managed to go a little shorter on that one. Here are some screenies of the map so far:

Here is one of the island

Two bridges connects the island to the mainland you just can't see them because we are too high

A cool shot I took in the middle of the island

A shot of my clone skin with the forest in the background

An overhead shot showing one of the bridges

The basic setup of the map is this: We have the CIS/Empire on one side of the river and the Republic/New Republic on the other side. There is an unclaimed CP on the island and the Wookiees spawn in the village on the island as a local team. The tank battle will go on over the surface of the river, not on the island.

Teancum, do you think you could PM me a link for your awesome Luminara Unduli model? And does anyone have any ideas for who the heroes could be for the CIS and Empire?
I have one special unit class for each faction: Imperials: My Special Ops Trooper reskinned, Republic:Majin Revan's Republic Commando, CIS: Maybe one of Grievous' Bodyguards, I have no idea who I am going to do for the New Republic if any of you have any ideas please let me know. I am going to make some models as soon as I get XSI. Probably including a new bridge.

Game modes: Conquest----Standard with Hero Script, Hunt-----You can play as the Wookiees or the CIS/Empire---Conquest rules, Hero Elimination: -----Standard.
I apologize to the admin if this WIP was to long, but now you have the complete idea.
I want to make this map fun so please tell me your ideas,
******MasterSaitek009******

That looks awesome.... just look up the spawn names and you won't have to use the model.

Darth_Z13, Thanks but I don't want my map to reliant on the conversion pack. Besides I don't even have the version with Luminara in it I just saw the picture of her in the New Heroes thread.

Teancum probably will not release the models to the public, he said the most he would do is give the unit names, which he has already done.

okay i found it lol i love the screen shots mastersaitek009 and i love the river that makes an island it really has a good texture to it


hey i have an idea... i noticed how one screen had a picture with the island having stairs i believe thats incase you fall you can get back up (correct me if im wrong) but i think that it be really cool if in the river there was an underwater cave so you could go in it and come up the other side and its a little room that the underwater cave so it would kind of be an underwater base! but it would take to long and the units would die before you would be able to get to the air pocket and so if you ever play on the regular kashyyyk there is a cis tank (i forget what it is called) but it is kind of shaped like a triangle and has the treads instead of being a hover tank... so it would kind of be a submarine so you could use that to go through the cave and then use those types of tanks to go through the water (so you would probaly reskin it to look more like an underwater tank lol) but other than that i think it is perfect!

Wow, nice water.
and storyline. This looks like it might turn out quite interesting.
Two suggestions/ideas/opinions/passingonfacts/thatsortofwhatever:
1- Teancum probably won't let you use the model you need, it seems that he made an agreement with the maker of (most of) the models and that one of the conditions was that they wouldn't be publicly released. I'm NOT saying that this is the case with the model you are looking for, so you might still want to try, but it could well be.
2- I don't know if you or someone else reskined that clone, but I don't like the visor color. It seems too solid and contrasted to the rest of the skin. I'd make it either a bluer shade, or merge over the black, maybe reduce its opacity some.

wow, i like the idea and the Map Layout!
1. Perhaps you could place turrets or constructable turrets on the island... That would give more incentive to take the island and defend it.
2. Also, I can't tell from the screenshots, but I think you should make the island accessible only via the two bridges. If you have people running up stairs to get on the island, it would take away from the strategic positioning of the bridges. (in my opinion)

Edit: Also, I like the skin but maybe you could reskin it just a little bit darker... so that the clone blends in with the grass in the background of screenshot 4 for example

wow this looks very good cant wait for the release

I love the layout of the map.

The story is nicely done.

Great job MasterSaitek009! Can't wait for the release.

The story is a cool one, fitting into EU & Trilogy canon propery.
Ok, my list of suggestions:
-some barricades on the island
-better textures for the island, eg. different textures around the houses, one texture indicating the path from one bridge to another.
-destructible bridges, if this is possible (use death-star parts, for example)
-for Hunt I'd say melee stealth wookiees vs. your imperial spec-ops. (this would play during the liberation of kashyyyk)
-clones always have black suits, and black or glowing blue visors.
-as NR special units, I'd recommend Infiltrators:

the barricades yes i guess i left that out in my suggestions... maybe you could make a wooden barricade base in the woods some where(funny thought in head seeing a wookie barricade castle) but have it's walls made of wooden barricade and then the big door at base 4 in the regular kashyyyk!

nice ideas everyone

this map looks great! cool layout, nice water and good story... the clone trooper looks cool to but I'd prefer the 41st elite legion or something like that instead of that skin..cool skin though.

ideas/suggestions:

use bridge from BF1 Islands map (see conversion pack) in addition to the bridges that you already have
2 cps on island (north and south sides)
driods have higher reinforcement #s (50 or 100 greater)


Questions:

is the water a death region (really deap, 5 meters?) like in Yavin: A__ Pass (forgot full name)?

wow that looks a lot like a map from something like battlefield 2. I dunno why. Buts it looks awsome. Brillient infact. I'm really looking forward to it

Nice!, the map looks awesome in the pictures! , one question...what Video card do you use :

heres an idea i found this pic on the internet

I dont know who it is but its cool...i thought you could use it as a cis hero or sumthing even if it isnt acurate

Ummmmmmmmmmm. Yeah.

Sorry, well, I liked the look of this map so far. Keep up the good work, I love how the village is turing out.

Yeah, it looks great!

One thing I'd recomend is flyers to keep things less centralized.

Razgriz, what the **** did you search for ? This guy is in no way related to SW.

I don't think flyers would be a good idea. They would make defending the bridges unnecessary, but this map should be about fights on bridges !

I searched star wars commanders and this came up
