Map made by: Ty294
Addon name: eupg

Europa: Ground Assault is Ty294's third map I believe. The setting is a snowy planet. I can't say much more than that; the sky for the map didn't show up. I'm not sure if this is how the map was supposed to be or just a problem on my side, but the author didn't submit any screenshots for me to compare to.

The command post arrangement is in a diamond shape, with Reps/ Imps starting on one side and CIS/ Rebs starting on the other. Like in his previous maps, vehicles are the deciding factor. From what I saw, the "attacking" team had command vehicles and tanks, while the "defending" team had just tanks. Balance seemed good to me; both teams could hold their own with or without the player's support.

I can't say much about the environment due to the aforementioned sky problem, but I would like to point out that the terrain is very flat and boring. There are hardly any landmarks to hold the player's interest or to help with figuring out where you are. There were also some "mountains" with sharp/ stretched edges; make sure you blend those down. One other thing I'd like to suggest would be falling snow. Not a necessity, but it would help with the general feel of the map.
