4 players EAW skirmish land map. It took the second place at the EAW Map Making Contest in 2006.


Features in my map :

- Realistic large city.

- Designed to have many exploitable weaknesses on both sides, aswell as strong points.

- 'Star Warsy' has a good use of textures and buildings, neutral civillian NPCs wander the streets to give the city a more populated feel.

- Easy to navigate, no choke points.

Story:
Alderaan is a peaceful planet, after the clone wars the Goverment on Alderaan banned all weapons from the surface; but the Imperials discovered rebel sympathiezers were operating on the planet, and moved in swiftly, turning the peaceful city into a dangerous battlefront..

Hints:
- There are now mining facilities in the city; some are fortifable by turrets while some arn't.
- The Imperials have towers which spawn Imperial Guards.
- Capturing reinforcement points throughout the city is vital to win the battle.

Changes in Version 2:

- There are now mining facilities around the city to help with credit income.
- Cleared out buildings and other objects near touch down points.
- Removed 3rd/2nd stories for larger buildings to help with view issues

- Added Fog to remove lag (It's black and blends in with the Line of sight fog, but my FPS drasticly changed for the better, I would get 12-16 before, I was getting 20-30ish after the fog was added, and it was very hard to notice it)
