Map Description:
On the cold, icy world of Rhen Var, there is a large temple complex that used to belong to an ancient sith cult (as well as a jedi sanctuary ironically). Placed on a mountainside, the temple is surrounded by precarious cliffs and drops. This is an expansion and enhancement of the classic SWBF1 map, Rhen Var: CItadel.
Many additions have been made to the map, including a mountain side with a landing area, and a lower plateau with vehicle battle. There are a total of 14 CPs. There are two modes: conquest mode and bonus mode. Conquest mode is typical battle no enhancements made on the units, this is mode mainly intended for online play. The Bonus Mode is a mode where enhancements have been made on all the units, vehicles, weapons, and skins (textures). There are also a few new units (such as Darth Bandon) and weapons (such as the Boeing Bomb 2.0) and new vehicles such as flyable Millenium Falcon and Ebon Hawk.
Mode Description:
Conquest
This is sort of a "Classic" mode with no special units or weapons, but you can still play on the same layout.
Giant Hunt
This is a new mode that's positioned slightly off the main area of the map in a mountainous area. Here you get to hunt the huge Giant Wampas and Rock Golems that have been summoned by the spirits ancient and dead sith. And what do you use to take down these titans? Bubbles. Explosive Plasma Bubbles. Lots of Explosive Plasma Bubbles.
Chaos Assault
This mode has my Chaos units in it, however the AI count is at a normal level. This is intended mainly for Multiplayer (purely for stability purposes).
Chaos XL
This is the same as Chaos Assault, except with a 10x boosted AI count. XL is the most chaotic of all the modes and is mainly intended for Singleplayer.
Updates from previous version:
Lots of updates. Lots. I'll do a quick run through, I've made the map even a little larger and have made a new imp/cis base with both tanks and base. This allows for real dogfights between the teams. I've fixed the balance issues that were prominant in the previous versions, and i think all sides are about of equal power. To do that I have removed Super wampa from CW and replaced him with the Super Gungan to match the Geo. I've added 1 new tank (the cis' HAG) 3 new flyers (Tie Defender, ZAM Brand Airspeeder, and the famous Ebon Hawk). I've made lots of improvements to the weapons, fixing bugs and such, as well as superbuffing the Award weapons. I have also added "Tumble Control" to some of the units, allowing for you to control how you go flying when you are hit (but not killed) by particular explosives. I've also (yes yet again with Phazon_Elite's help) added custom background music with songs by Oasis, Led Zeppelin, and an excerpt of a song by The Nice.
Bugs/Issues: As always, there are few glitches with the ground textures since the game is easily overloaded with them. Many effects (the ones in hunt mode and XL in particular) may disappear depending on your computer's visual memory. There are a couple weaps that have floating icons. Stability in multiplayer may vary.

My favorite mod map of all time...and I played a TON of them over the years.
This thing introduced kid me to Led Zeppelin which I had no idea they were Zeppelin songs till YEARS later. Now that I know it, it only makes it that much more awesome.
