A few critiques:

-The mountains are too ... well, sharp. I realize the effect you're going for, but it will look much more realistic if they weren't so steep. Tone them down to no higher than a 45 degree slope. You can point up the top to make it more realistic.

-As you mentioned in the modding forum, you need some mist. It's been a looooong time since I've done mist, but it will add a lot to the map.

-More downed REP vehicles near the capital ship will add some realism to it.

-Whatever the grey thing is with the bright purple on it looks really out of place.


That being said, I still stamp my approval -- if you take the time to polish the map it can become a quick favorite.

Looks very nice! I see you got Echo working, And Dezali looks amazing! *other shoe drops* I'm gonna have to second what tean said about the odd purple thing.

Sorry but Dezali had to be taken out. HE was the one messing up Echo. I do have a consolation prize... check the "Glamour Skins" thread to see him.

I did add tons of vehicles tho.

REPUBLIC:
2 AT-TEs
2 AT-RTs
2 Hovertanks

CIS:
6 AATs
2 Spider Walkers

And about the "purple thing"...

It's the Advent's sensor array. It fell into the river during the crash landing.

You know what would look great? A rainshadow (a small one) under the CIS ship, and a shdaow of the ship on the field.

To make the sensor array fit in to the environment more you could always just reskin the purple part to be gray so it looks like it lost its power. That said, I'm liking the new atmosphere.

I approve, nice idea. Little sidequests are excellent things to add to a map.

You know what actually adds a lot to map ambiance? Playing with the light tab. In a relatively small amount of time you can make drastic changes to the overall feel of the map. ;)

You're doing an impressive job here. :)

I don't know, but I did add a new playable unit for the CIS side. (They were getting owned by the Republic.)
