Concord Dawn - Map by MIRSH image - Rise of the Mandalorians mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
The Empire has fallen and a New Republic is born out of the conflict. But in the ashes of civil war, yet another life stirs...
Most of you, I'm sure, recall the map contest I had a while back and that the talented Mirsh was the winner of said contest. I wanted to showcase the map in its glory but needed to "port" it into RotM, since I had asked all contestants to just use vanilla assets. That said, I've added an RotM skybox, moved some props which were different size when "ported" and changed a few textures because my custom ones didn't make sense when loaded in. Otherwise, the layout, passability, and majority of prop placement remain intact (though I did place some things around to convert it to a skirmish map).
For those who need a little background, Concord Dawn is a Mandalorian agricultural world. Covered in homesteads and farmland, it is a pristine world with little urbanization, aside from the major starport hubs. The citizens and their farms provide food for a number of surrounding worlds, which gives it a high strategic value for the Mandos. Also of note is that it is the homeworld of Jango Fett.
The screenshots, as usual, don't do it justice. The map must be played to be really appreciated. Mirsh did a great job!
Thanks Far and everybody else! Can't wait to see it in full in the mod.
Though it does seem a tad darker now than in vanilla, not sure if it's the different textures or lighting. I was going for a sunset-over-the-fields-look somewhere between Wild West plains and Vietnam rice fields. Maybe you could increase the light level a bit? Unless it's just the screenshots, sometimes it's hard to tell.
Nope I totally agree. I adjusted lighting to experiment with different weather effects and i made it too dark. Thats in my notes of things to fix actually.
Nice. Great minds think alike I guess. XD
Hold up dawg imma need you to hook me up with that shield effect, I need that in my life, and on my starships. That map looks great, you managed to transform land into something that doens't look like ****, props to MIRSH for the map and to you for the props. Really damn impressive.
Meet me in the alley behind 7-11 in about 20 minutes. I'll hook you up.
But actually... I'll PM you about this. You should be able to do this already, so I'll tell you how.

Map looks very nice! Good job Mirsh!
He indeed did a great job. I would love to see the rest of the contest maps with the updated props and textures, specially the honorable mentions "winkle" "winkle". I'm sure they would look amazing!
Indeed, the other maps will come with time lol. Mapping can be a slow process and im trying to get the core mod done first. But I had to at least do the winning map.
I Love the new shield Effect. Its something no other mod did and it looks just amizing.
Thank you!
This looks really nice. I can't wait to experience the mod in full :)
Yes, it plays really nice :)
Good gravy I can see "Open Seasons" in those screens! I love it!
Thanks!
That's great to hear since that was the source and primary inspiration after all. ;)
that base shield looks NICE
the units and particles look amazing. Can't wait for the gc release of this mod, although I feel like we're gonna have to wait a few years for that
The plan is to finish the skirmish version sometime soon. Not giving an exact date because...life happens. However, I plan to spend the bulk of 2019 working on GC and I may recruit help with mapping...we shall see.
so one of the skirmish maps takes place on Jentawui in the Both system?
No, Bothawui. From the Wookie:
"...Snow covered mountain tops on Bothawui,[14] and as a result of cyclical ice ages, large areas of land on the world would be covered by ice sheets for decades, transforming savannas into rocky wastelands."
Thank you Mirsh, very cool.
That looks awesome, großartig. Keep it up, I appreciate your work. I hope for the release in 2019.
