THE STORY:
Based on a real park in my neighborhood, Pioneer Trails is a beautiful place that makes for an excellent battlefield with its abundance of trees, grassy hills, large pond and open battlefronts. I actually happen to live in the same neighborhood as this park and it is a 5-10 minute bike ride on the trails.
THIS MAP CURRENTLY FEATURES:
- Eras including the Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, Extended Civil War, and Mass Effect,
- A variety of objects such as trees (both standing and fallen), shrubs, turrets, barriers and grass,
- Vehicles (AAT, IFT-X, AT-AP, and more),
- Remarkably beautiful visuals,
- Five random weather variations,
- Environmental ambiance, and
- More included inside!
WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT IN PIONEER TRAILS:
- New eras such as Dark Times, THEWULFMAN's Clone Wars era mod, and the Mass Effect era, and
- Other game modes such as CTF and Siege (TBA).
MAP/REAL PARK DIFFERENCES:
There are not very many differences between this map and the real park. For example, this map is located in a completely tree enclosed area whereas the real park can be viewed from a sidewalk in my neighborhood. In the real park, there are even some houses from which you can clearly see the park! Another difference is the trails: the trails in the real park are concrete, have bended turns and some have park exits. Trails in this map are dirt, they lack smooth-bending turns and have no park exits. One more difference is the objects. The real park has a small playground, tennis court and baseball diamond/soccer goals while the map has Kashyyyk/Mygeeto barriers and turrets.
MAP NOTES:
- Foliage will not appear to be "commonly seen" unless your view distance settings are set to over ~50.
- Light bloom really enhances this map's visual quality; I highly suggest switching it on.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Stuff.
- Note to self: add more stuff here.
