Poll
Question:
Which SWBF stock map do you like most that has only 1 era?
Option 1: Geonosis: Spire
Option 2: Kamino: Tipoca City
Option 3: Hoth: Echo Base
Option 4: Endor: Bunker
So which is it? Do you like to get into an AT-TE and "concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship!" or try to take your enimies home planet and in the rain on top of it! Or maybe you like to jump in a snowspeeder and topple the mighty AT-AT! Or better yet grab a scout trooper and get one shot kills against those fur balls!
Please post what you chose and why you like that map that most!
I like "fur balls" so, it is surely Endor.
I like my maps big and open, so Hoth it is.
Haha we on 1.0 don't play such Maps ^^
Just to make Photos or so .. (Clanpictures)
We mostly play Cloud City and Mos Eisley "Sometimes Citadell"
Yoda ;)
I like geonosis spire the most and I'll give you 8 reasons why!
1. Episode 2 is my favorite star wars episode
2. I like open maps
3. I like the vehicles in that map. Especially the hail fire droid.
4. I like the planet geonosis in the star wars universe. ( don't ask me why, I just do )
5. I like the feel that you are fighting in a giant battle
6. I like the clone wars era more than GCW
7. I like the geonosians even though they are npc's I still like them in that level
8. I like how they include little things that were in the movie into the game, like in the spire there is the hologram table and the death star plans hologram next to the cp thing
So ya! :cheers: best 1 era map!
Hey led! I say that whichever map wins this poll should be in the next DC!
I don't particularly like any of these maps. I like Kamino more than the other choices stated.
Sereja's version of Kamino is better than stock by far. ;)
Kamino by a long shot, particularly kamino twilight v2. Then Hoth, then Endor, and my least favorite stock map of all is Geonosis.
Ah man! Why you hatin on geonosis? :P

The vehicles are the only redeeming factor imo, the hailfire and droid plane can be quite fun but not for serious combat. The map design is very poor, and the color contrast is a dull bland orange. It could be improved with skin mods, but the design quality would still be lacking. I also think the map is imbalanced, the AT-TE respawn too fast giving clones an obvious advantage. Plus I just prefer GCW over CW. On the plus side, the geonosian aliens look Cool. :D
I think the design is very well done! They did a good job of portraying how the battle was in the movie and placing various things in the movie, for example, the spire, death star plans, forward command center, and techno union ships. It's supposed to be bland orange because that's how it is in the movie! Lol
I actually have gotten a victory timer with the droids! It's just extremely difficult...
:cheers:
Despite how some battles are in the movies, I think the maps should be well balanced. I am almost always droids when I play that map, and I have yet to get an easy win. The win usually is a result of me being rocket and killing the AT-TEs myself. You have to make one virtually dead, then kill the other, then go back to the first and finish it off. On the other hand, all the republic has to do is kill those Techno Union ships, which is easy since they don't respawn. Poor map design if you ask me... :dry:
Oh and Hoth has amazing music.

lol! No arguing with that!

Endor. Fun to take out the Ewoks, but also a fun sniping map. Also speeders make this a challenge if you take a route through the trees. Downside is that if you get an ATST and a couple pilots and know exactly where the Ewok traps are, the level can get kind of lopsided fast.
I prefer Hoth. I've always just liked how much there is to do on that map. Since the overall idea is giant battles, I think Hoth and Geonosis captured that idea best. I could be a little biased though, as I used to play on my old Mac Mini, and Endor was always glitching because of all the rendering for the trees and such.

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!!!! Endor is pretty unplayable with all the lag even when I use SK's Lowerz endor... Was your Naboo: Plains like that?
I like Hoth it has a abundance of vehicles as well as lots of taun tauns so you can start a taun taun farm if you are alone waiting for more players to join.
I don't remember Naboo Plains being that much of a problem, but that was never one of my favorite maps so I don't remember playing it much outside of Conquest or Campaign modes. I do remember that the Kashyyyk Islands (?) map was also horrible because of the hills, trees and textures.
I would be curious how Endor fares on my 2010 Mac Pro but until I move to my apartment for Grad School, I won't have the disc with me.
One of the other reasons I loved Hoth was that if you timed a rocket just right, you could get a one hit kill on the Snow Speeders when playing as Imperial Shock Trooper.
It was extremely rare, but I always loved finding that small window of glitch that would allow the rocket to travel straight through the speeder's cockpit before detonating and watching the speeder explode.

If you like the abundance of vehicles, Geonosis has far more. Hoth only has AT-ATs, AT-STs, and Snow Speeders. Geonosis has Hailfire Droids, Spider Droids, Geonosian Starfighters, AT-TEs, and LAATs (Gunships).
Although... Endor does allow mined Speeder-Bike runs.
While Hoth has mined kamikaze Snow Speeders. It's a tough one.
But aesthetically Hoth is better.

Yes, but no one in their right mind would even touch a spider droid let alone drive it, there are only 2 genosian star fighters compared to Hoth's 4 snowspeeders(Which look cooler) Although I do like the gunships and AT-ETs the lack of taun tauns, and martian landscape is just a deal breaker.

Bah I say!
Spider Droids are excellent at picking off infantry and flying vehicles.
Although in a close range slug-fest they are quite terrible which is why few use them.
On my old PC endor and plains lagged really bad. Now on my good pc they don't, but I still use minimalist mods that reduces lag greatly. Stock islands textures are pretty bad, that why I reskinned it to caribbean and it looks 100x better.

Do you have the minimalist plains mod download? Because my Plains is
really laggy and that is one of my favorite maps! :'( :bye:
This is naboo plains twilight v1 i made a while back. it should reduce lag more than stock does but is not synchronized to the pure updated minimalism format i developed which is compatible with skin changers. plains twilight v2 would lag even less but i have not made it yet.
it should ,lag much less than stock though

I feel kinda bad but I have a mac and can't open exe's. Is the one you are talking about in here? http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=465
Yes, but since you are on mac, here is a simple zip file.

Just remove [client] from the lvl name and put in your nab folder.
Thanks Phobos!!!! You da Man!!! This is OC right?
For the v2 you should make a twilight version and a daytime! :tu:
Online compatible yes. By daytime do you mean a different sky? The lighting is bright like day.
Lol! :slap: :slap: I haven't actually tried it yet it since its called twilight I thought that it was night. :slap: well then! You may retract my last post from your mind! Thanks again Phobos!
Phobos, I just wanted to let you know that it worked great!!! Is there a way to make it so it works with story mode? Do you have a version that just takes away the grass and that's it? Because that's what is causing my offline lag. I think the new lighting is really cool though! A+ material! ( I just prefer the stock lighting please don't take offense )
