Mygeeto Assault: Beach Defense

:jango: Well, here's my new map in the Mygeeto Assault series. This map takes place on Aeris III (I noticed bobfinkl had made a map there also part way through making it :funny2: ) with the Republic retreating from Alozoc III, their first attempt at reaching Mygeeto a failure. The CIS are pressing the attack, pushing the Republic farther back into its territoty. However, the Republic has a base on Aeris III, and now launch a counterattack against the swarm of CIS forces. It's basicly a cross of beach and platform battles, with a bunch of ruins and trees providing cover for the beaches, and suply crates providing cover on the platforms. I gave each side a good sniping position (though I don't like sniping too much myself) and I am experimenting with lighting and hintnodes. This map is roughly 70% done, I finished most of the mapping, I just need to make custom REP and CIS skins. Here are some screens: EDIT: Why won't my images show up on imageshack!? Well, here's a new link.

So halfway through making this, Bobfinkl released his map with the same name? Lol.

It just says "Image" when I open the tabs.

Sorry, for some reason, all the images I upload to image shack don't show up. :x I'm uploading them to filefront as I type this.

I fixed them for now; still, I'd go with filefront from now on, imageshack was never too reliable for me.

Map looks very interesting. :)

Map looks good, but it looks too much like Kashyyyk. (No offence)

None taken. I might make some custom textures in a little bit, I'm not sure yet.

Looking good. I like how you used the Wookiee buildings to create docks. My only suggestion would be for you to consider recoloring or retexturing the shipped assets (Yavin ruins, Wookiee structures, etc) just to make it look like it's own planet instead of a Yavin/Kashyyyk mish-mash.

Hmm.... this actually looks good! But isn't Mygeeto just another gas planet??

I would also suggest making different clone sides...

This isn't Mygeeto. He said it takes place on Aeris III.

Correct. Also, Mygeeto isn't a gas planet, it's an ice planet in the outer rim, and one of the CIS's 3 main strongholds.

I'm not sure if I'll change the building skins because:
1: I kinda like it this way
and 2: The times that I tried to change a building skin it came out horrible.
I might mess around with a few things, but unless I can think of something better it will probably stay the same.

Then how come this says "Mygeeto Assault: Beach Deffense??

BTW, defense is spelled with only one F.

Because the republic is trying to reach Mygeeto.

thats a nice idea and map. like the others said you probably want to do some custom textures for the clones as well as maybe add some vehicles. :thumbs:

I don't think there will be any vehicles, they would be a lttle to overpowering on this battlefeild, but I am working on camo skins for the clones.
EDIT: some birdies:

and actualy I might add in some speeders though I'm not sure yet.
EDIT: 2 Just a bonus for convo pack users, I'm trying to add kotor as an era. And also, I bring you... Mandalorian Wars!
More info and fixed pictures soon...

If you want suggestions on how to make it not look like a kashyyyk/yavin map mess around with the lighting perhaps try making it at night or so. Good job and quite a coincidence we are making (I'm done though) the same planet.

EDIT: There, fixed! :D

the birds are fairly yummy. Only issue i have with the map currently is the idea that the map is on Mygeeto. Maybe there are some warmer, more beach-like areas on the map, but the general description you get is a cold, snowy, more industrial planet. Idk, it's your map.

Besides the location, the rest looks pretty good so far
