Salucemi: Battleground

Description
This map, by Kill_Joy8, is a first map. It\'s fairly middle-of-the-road as far as first maps go - definitely some issues, but not a poor start.

It\'s supposed to be set on Saleucami, one of several planets featured for about three seconds in Episode III that have since gotten lots of attention. It\'s like a grimy Felucia, basically (although they share equal weight in the \"movie-significance club\").

This map takes a decent stab at the setting, although it has been done before with more proficiency. What gets me most here is the fact that the map is so very clearly the default munged map, while at the same time being relatively well-decorated. The periphery of the map is completely unchanged from the stock munged map, the sky is the same, and the command posts are in the same starting four locations. The map would be a lot better if this weren\'t a constant reminder of that default starting point!

The sides are fine, although they owe the majority of their polish to the various talented modelers or texture artists who made them. I\'ll almost always appreciate new sides the author has put a lot of effort into doing (mostly) himself - even if they\'re not as high quality - than new sides cobbled together from various downloadable assets.

There are a number of issues with the sides in terms of icon placements or other small bugs; I won\'t get too picky, though, as these are things the author will learn as he gets more experienced. All in all, it\'s a decent first stab at a map. Next time, don\'t remind me so much of the default munged map!
