A remake of my very first map, Geonosis: Canyon.

README:

==INSTALLATION==

Place GeoCan in your Gamedata/Addon folder.


==DESCRIPTION==

A complete remake of my first ever map of the same name, though it does not resemble the original in any way.
There is a log of experimental stuff in here, and some doesn't function as well as I'd like.


==STORY==

Several years after the end of the Clone Wars, the former battleground world of Geonosis once again forced its way to the forefront of galactic attention.
A hive of rebellous Geonosians, after secretly collecting and reactivating thousands of Separatist battledroids and war machines, had begun restoring their deep underground factories to working order.
Imperial agents eventually learned about these activities, but by then the Geonosians had already assembled a significant army, coordinated by a massive droid control mainframe build deep within the planet itself.
Their operations no longer secret, the Geonosians lashed-out on the local Imperial Army garrison, quickly slaughtering most of the inexperienced troops.
However, one battalion managed to mount an assault on what was believed to be an access point to the mainframe control, but overwhelming droid and local resistance halted this advance.
The army unit managed to hold a clearing further up the canyon long enough for reinforcements to arrive; a legion of the Empire's elite Stormtroopers, along with new, top-line equipment.
It was time for the Empire to make these bugs wish they'd all died mercifully during the Clone Wars...

==NOTES & BUGS==

This map is optimized for maximum graphic levels only. Playing this map with lower graphics settings will result in a drastic drop-off in visual quality.

There is an easter egg hidden in plain sight on this map!

Known Bugs:

 *Hangar sometimes does not render, resulting in weird visible holes in the terrain
 *AI sometimes get stuck on objects

very awesome map wish you could play the droids but it makes sense story wise that you cant. I have made a gameplay video of your map i havent played the entire map but i played a lot.

Glad to see you back modding. Used to love the platforms map you made back in the day.

This is a great map, I enjoy this sort of level where you have to fight from one end to the other and the increasing challenge as it gets more enclosed is just right. The rearguard giving a story element is a nice touch.

I now feel kind of stupid for posting a release thread already. I completely forgot that it automatically posts a release thread when the file is approved.

Awesome! Thanks for doing that! If you're good with it I'd like to link that video in the opening post and on the Gamefront download page too.

It's good to be back! And yeah, good old Ranen: Platforms. Was quite possibly my favorite map of my own back then. Reminds me that I need to make a better texture for the Imperial X-Wing if I ever use that vehicle again.

Thanks! It took a lot of trickery with the planning and unit AI to actually get that whole thing to work. I almost abandoned it a few times, but finally got it to function correctly after a while.
