WIP Geonosis: Grounded // Update (1/4) news

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas/having a great holiday. First here are some screenshots of the map. Keep in mind that this is a WIP map, so not much progress has been in terms of level design as you can tell by the screenshots. DISCLAIMER: Some of the screenshots are using the graphics mod made by Harrison Fog which you can download here: Moddb.com

As we enter the new year 2019 watch out for some awesome map updates that Cyber is currently developing. We are currently looking into supporting i2Bros with TBOTCW and vise versa after many requests to merge the mods on Discord, but this is not confirmed, so please don’t expect it.

A balance patch that I worked on based on feed back: nerfed the Commando Droids by giving them a lower fire rate and a health increase

Watch till the end of the video to see a cool quick Darth Sidious VS Yoda scene in the back ground near the entrance.

Enough of the previews now. Let’s discuss the map itself and it’s goals. The map is going to be a ground to sky vise versa sky to ground. On the ground visibility is decreased by a sandstorm that will remain through the match, however while your above the ground visibility is increased with no sandstorm in sight. There are two current game modes that are planned: Vinilla Conquest, Custom game mode: Grounded which has you the player holding out for a certain amount of time (5 minutes is currently planned) while the CIS try to siege your position using ANY means necessary (REP will have support). The map will use most of the terrain giving the user more areas to explore during each gameplay. The terrain is planned to have a underground system, CIS holdouts, and rigid terrain with many obstacles. The REP will be able to spawn in the Republic Attack Venator to hop into support ships that can turn the tide of the ground battle. Easter eggs are planned... Feel free to ask any questions down below regarding TCWR in the comments section.

Current Issues:

• Performance: Due to the high effect count in this map. This map may cause major lag. The graphics mod is not recommended for this map as it makes the lag even worse and makes the sandstorm 10x worse, than intended making the map un-playable (unless you like a challenge). - This only affects bad PC(s) if your PC is powerful and can run a triple a game, then don’t worry about this issue.

TCWR is currently working on maps, re-textures, and improving the AI and gameplay based on feedback such as the Commando Droid video above. We are constantly looking out for bugs, so if you could help us test the DEMO version and give feedback that would make the DEV team very happy: Moddb.com
