Will be submitted to SWBFFiles later for review (I had submitted it shortly after the contest ended, but I must have messed something up in the submission process because it never showed up on the site ).

It looks well, but much diferent to the cannon village

I really liked this map when it was in the contest; it was definitely underappreciated in the voting but it was probably either my favorite or second-favorite entry. Glad to see you added the extra eras to it!

woah i totally had a map idea in mind like this one! (and just realized its like underground taris) but i lost it and this looks really nice

I have the feeling my careless oversight of the issue with the sky is to blame for that. I remember looking at the .sky file before submitting it, noticing that it didn't call for a texture, and thinking "hm, maybe I should give it a black texture just to be thorough...nah, it looks fine the way it is."

As you can imagine, I soon had a palm -> face moment.

@ Eggman:
I also liked this Map from the Contest much but now with DT/KotOR Era its way better and i agree with

it was definitely underappreciated in the voting

[Teancum]

Okay, now that's cool. It actually looks like something you might see in the undercity of Taris. I'll have to try it out tonight.

Where are the "outcasts"?

[Eggman]

Where are the "outcasts"?

Not present. I chose not to include them for a few reasons - partially because I was short on time, mostly because they wouldn't benefit gameplay; in fact, they would have detracted from it. The map is so small that they would be spawning right on top of enemies, and even a few local units would easily tip the battle in favor of their friendly side (in this case, the Republic and Rebels). Same story for rakghouls - they'd be more of a nuisance than a feature.

A mix of Bespin and....

I like it. I'm afraid I never got to the contest maps, but this one does look good.

[RogueKnight]

Just did a quick playthrough on my laptop, and I must say....

Wow.

This map definitely has a place in my addon folder, even with just a quick playthrough, I believed that the main idea of the map was strongly defined!

Strong points:
Gameplay
Visual Accuracy

I'll post a more in-depth view when I get caught up on all the schoolwork and have access to my laptop again to play through it a few more times.

Looks very good. May DL sometime this week.

What model was used for the ceiling?

[Eggman]

They're objects from the Raxus Prime assets out of the Clone Wars video game, courtesy of Pandemic/Teancum.

Yo Egg, I can't add LD era to this seperately, so if you upload the actual addme file for it I can add it in and release a LD enabled version in the DS forum.

Yeah, I guess just the conquest/ctf .luas alone wouldn't have done you much good, would they?

I'll upload the addme for you as soon as I can, although that might be a while since I don't have access to the files right now.
