What is the story for Galactic civil war? Mus have something to do with Han infiltrating the Empires base or something like that. Maybe you could have some crashed gun ships around, and maybe one or two flyable ones.

New skins, please. I can't stand those 501'st troopers any longer. :P

Looks pretty crazy. I'm scurred! Use a better variety of textures meaning that there are more/better rock textures than the Yavin one. The terrain looks pretty good, maybe smooth it out in that capital ship. Another thing, add some cover, maybe reskinned kashyyyk yavin endor or geonosis etc rocks.

Aw you should definetly add rain, or some other effect like the dagobah fireflys or such.

To add skins, you should just one day sit down with yourself and read some tutorials. They will always seem confusing the first time, but once you've got it down, it'll be a piece of cake. Seriously trust me. If nothing helps you could PM me and I could try and give a simple example for you.

Sounds nice. Maybe puting 2 CPs on the same Capital Ship so there's a fight over there to conquer the ship?
I think rain would fit just fine there..

I second that. Definately. It make no sence that LucasArts used the 501st Legion skin for every single Clone in the game. I mean, what the heck is a soldier from the 501st Legion during on Kashyyk, for instance ? :?

same here. I wish they took the time to make it accurate from level to level. for example, the 182nd on felucia, the 21st nova corps on mygetto, and the 212th on utapau.

I can't remember this well, but I think the 501st were sent to Felucia because the 182nd failed their mission, or something like that...

You know its funny. I've seen this arguement a million times before on Gametoast and the LA forums. Who cares what skin you use for the clones? Wasn't life easier when there was just one color for all the Republics/Empire's soldiers - WHITE?? Does it really matter what color their accents are??

I think this map looks very promising, and I would be more inclined to add the weather effects (rain/fog), and fireflies (a la Dagobah), than messing with the color of the clones armor. (Unless it affects gameplay I don't care WHAT I look like - or what I'm shooting at)

Well, people like to be creative, they want their own touches to be on their maps. And also lots of people like SW accuracy, or they just use their imagination. So, some people actually do care about what skins they have. Think of this. 501st clones all the time seem to get boring. I mean, I adore the 501st, but 24/7 kind of gets dull.

For everyone (but mostly t3tine upon request)

There are two medical cruisers and a cis cruiser, but intend to make a stardestroyer in the GCW era
-yes I intend to make this map with speacial skins, but I might release an earlier version with the standard stuff....
does anyone know how to make those asteroids appear, they are crucial to the map...
