A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... The story occures some years after the Endor Battle, after the destruction of the second Death Star and of the Emperor, so during the times when intergalactic systems are liberating from the Galactic Empire haegemony. On Kashyyyk, birth planet of Chewbacca and generally of wookies, which known a terrible fate with the rise of the Empire. But the time of the fall of the Empire has come, it is time to bear arms and to end twenty slavery years, however the task will be delicate cause even with the help of the young New Republic, wookies clans are divided between loyalist and separatists, besides the still important influence of the Empire remains leaded by the Great Amiral Thrawn...
Hey there all!
Here a quick update; I'm still working on the battle mechanic and it's sooooo long and not very interesting, so, as break moments I'm working on some models.
Of course they aren't units yet, and just some models I created that I put in the air, but be aware that it will be the case at least, as Bombing run/interception.
About the mechanic: I've worked on the User Interface so as to spawn units. Of course they spawn all by magic right now, but I will manage to make shuttles landing so as to bring units on the battlefield as in EAW.
I think I'll don't post anything until next month, so see ya later guys! :)
looking pretty good, cant wait
wow that looks really good! just curious now that im seeing the map, how big is it in comparison to EAW and will we see (slightly) different maps depending on the faction that owns the planet?
Huge compared to a EAW map. Here an example:

Red: EAW
Blue: Battle borders
Green: Map Sight (not big enough to hide the fact that's the map is just a square as you can see on the screenshot "Phoenix squadron".
If you want to have a better idea, the massassi Temple and Star destroyer are scale 1/1 (contrary to EAW). :p
Wow! that's amazing! truly a fantastic job that you did there, but shouldn't Yavin 4 not be more forested?
Haha yes no worries; there will be more rivers too. But the fact is that I'm trying to optimize the fps with the forest so as to add density preventing our computers to burn. I want the 60 FPS on my system so as to let most people to play with it.
okay, was just wondering, thanks for the quick reply
Will the gameplay be more like EAW or Galactic Battlegrounds? Or a mix of both? And in the case of a Galactic Conquest, will it be turn based (I would hope so)? You're doing a fantastic job with this so far, do you have a team or is it just you?
Well actually it will be more like a Total War gameplay. With battles and campaign.
Galactic Battleground was cool, but it's a bit unrealistic according to me, and I think the same for EAW. Seeing units spawning by magic after two minutes by pressing a button, that just makes me thinking, "it's not how the force works". ;p
