I didnt mean different sides for each map, I ment make custom sides and use them for all the maps.

I rekon we have to make a decision here! For the maps we can't do, what will we do? We might have to end up using some custom made props, or as some have suggested, a mix of props.

And I had a think about the sides. I don't think we should reskin the sides, but instead just have some totaly new troops. So we would add probably 1-3 new troops to the old sides. This makes it a bit easier for us, and we get to add some totaly new troops to the mix! In the end that means 4-12 new troops that were adding to these maps...

So! What do you guys think about that?

@ General Mitch - Can we use your Jedi Temple? Maybe you could change it a bit to suit Mustafar?

@ acryptozoo - Yes, most of us can model I think... Well, I can.

:runaway: SERIOUSLY? It looks nothing at all like Mustafar, not even if you reskin every prop.

For the sides, we should devinatly have a melee unit, using a viroswod... Maybe use some of the non jedi hero weapons? Remote rocket, flamethrower, sniper-pistol?

Do you want me to design them, as I can't make a map...? I still want to be part of group...

I like to think I am ok at skining...
I made a Darth Malgus once....

I'm not sure what you mean by design them, because the're all already made... And besides, most if not all of those weapons are way to over powering. I think we go for new models with new effects!

Y'know, it'd be pretty cool if someone made a unit(s) designed specifically for testing out the layout of maps. Maybe like a jet/jump pack that's fast and can go long distances, high speed, etc...


*EDIT* Hmm...one more post and I'm going to be evil.


*EDIT* Yep, evil now. :maulsaber:

Yeah, i guess so, i just figured people would want to make a new map, not a rehashing of a previous map....

SW_elite, can you see if the mods will give us a separate forum?

Also, I'm thinking I'll use Skelltor's sides (with a few of my units) when he releases them...assuming thats okay with him. Does that work?

Also, I'm making Hoth: Crater.

For a project that has barely started and has little to no original ideas, and no visible progress?

Highly doubtful.

It's hard to organize without a thread-I don't want to be spamming up this thread.
