Qiilura: Forest Fight

Description
Fasty001 is back with his second released map, Qiilura: Forest Fight. This is a rather large map set in a vaguely foresty environment, with creeks, lots of trees, houses, and a cave in the center which is heavily contested.

As previously mentioned, the map is very large. This by itself is not necessarily bad, but there isn't a lot to look at while traversing the map. The layout is very simple, with two CPs for each team (rather far apart, too) and one in the center that is fought over. There isn't anything else, really. It's a very plain map.

The ground texture is extremely dark, so much so that I thought it was just black. It's not, actually- it's a very dark green. This is in contrast to the sky, which is nice and sunny above. Something like that would be more suited for a night map, in my opinion.

The author seems fairly well-versed in planning AI, which is always nice to see. Snipers can be found on hills that are conveniently positioned, and the AI seem to know what they're doing. Except they seem to like to detpack themselves. Aside from the suicidal tendencies of the engineers, planning is well done.

The sky has been changed, which is always nice to see. Also, there is a custom hero for the Republic- Young Obi-Wan. The CIS is stuck with Maul, and I didn't test out the GCW era. The Republic does not have a jet trooper on their side, so the teams are a little unbalanced. The author included the entire REP side in the download, which is why it's so big. This is something to fix in a possible next version, as including the side again isn't needed.

In short, this is a fairly decent map. It's somewhat barren and needs to be reduced in size a little (both the file and the map), but it's fairly entertaining. So, if you're looking for something a little bit newer to play or you like the screenshots, go ahead and give this a download.
